Last Wednesday I went to see a boy named Vanya who has inner organ transposition and a really bad heart disease.
He is 1,8 y.o., so cute! Big blue eyes with long black eyelashes and a cheerful smile. Looking at his shiny face you can not believe that he is actually dying.
When he desperately needed a surgent's help the doctors in Ukraine didn't even want to try, he was too young for a surgery that could help him. The doctors in Germany agreed to operate him realising the risk. A BIG sum of money was collected by our fund, 85 ooo hrn brought in by the readers of our magazine and 100 000 hrn added by one of our oligarchs, Mr. Surkis (he owns Dynamo FC). After a very successful operation there was hope. The boy was adopted by a young couple who have two of their own children. They were visiting Vanya long before the surgery, but weren't adopting him because there was nothing they could do to save his life. No money - no hope.
Now little Vanya has a family, people who deeply love him and will do everything they can for his sake.
The problem is that a second surgery has to be done in order to save Vanya's life. The first one was done in order to prepare his little body for this one. It has to be done not later than January, otherwise the risk is too big. A surgery after the deadline might not be helpful at all.
My job was to organize a photo session for Vanya and to write an article about this situation calling out for help. I really hope and believe that people of Ukraine will find mercy and kindness in their hearts to save this angel's life. It is only by God's will that he'll survive, but it is only through our readers' help that Vanya's new parents will be able to do it.
What I realised from this little task of mine is that the work I do now is actually not only to entertain the readers of our magazine. Through this fund God actually saves people's lives. I felt so right when realised that what I do daily is actually good, I finally see how I can really serve Him through my job. Official job. It's so great to know that you're useful to society. God is good.

God will use people in whatever job they have -- I'm thankful that you see the value of your work! I knew that you LOVED it, but it sounds as if you now VALUE it!
How can we contact you?
***Mrs. T
You can contact us through our home e-mail address (we don't want to post it here but if you know our parents you could contact us through them) or by Skype.
Also, I'll find out Vanya's parents' bank account number that they opened to collect money for the surgery. I'll post it in the bottom of my post once I have it. God bless.
