The Kornilovs have not yet returned home: everything has been cleaned and dried, but it will take time to rewire and install electricity in the rooms and replace the pipes.
For now, everyone is living in a rented apartment. Elena's mother goes to her house every day as if to work, puts things in order and makes repairs. On weekends her husband joins her. Sometimes they take Lenya with them, and he calms down, seeing that little by little his native home is becoming familiar to him. Thanks to you, the family was able to buy generators, a heat gun and a fan heater - without them the house would take much longer to dry out. We replaced the front door - with a strong, iron and beautiful. We bought tools for repairs. And a small sofa - it was the beginning of a new environment and made it possible to sleep in the house sometimes, so that more time was left for working in it.
April 23 was Leonid's birthday. It was still the peak of the disaster, the family, in general, did not understand what to live on. And certainly there was no time for celebrations. The parents asked if it was possible to buy a smart speaker for Lena as a present from the donated funds. This is not a drill or an axe, which are needed for repairs. But the boy was under extreme stress, did not sleep at night, was afraid to stay alone in a strange apartment. And he calmed down only when he heard music or listened to books. We decided that this is a very necessary gift, no less necessary than a construction tool!
The family is very grateful to you for coming to the rescue at the moment of losing everything. You helped them not to despair, to believe that everything can be restored, to feel warmth and support. The Kornilovs are sure that with your help they will celebrate the New Year at home.
