On the porch in lush two-story house meets me lean tanned man in glasses.
Hello! Come on in! Now arrange a tour of our possessions, – with undisguised pleasure demonstrates her new home Alex Kurov, taking in hand three year old son Timosha.
has not passed also month as Alexei and his wife Natalia moved to a private three-room apartment in Kostroma village Youth.
– here we have children here living room, bedroom, here a gas boiler, all amenities. Bath I placed with my own hands! Never set, but in his house any work goes. Could I ever imagine that I’ll get it all? I’ve been drinking. And drink to that diagnosed me gave and found myself in a madhouse. Thought there and die, – says Alexei. – Dr. Vasily Nikolaevich said to me: “But you’re not an idiot, you can live. But if I let you outside and you’re going to drink, get in trouble”. At the hospital, I broke the garden, I’ve got everything growing, even watermelons. But June 15 2014 I ran away from there.
Alex Woke up in some basement with the feeling that dies.
– with my remaining strength, I got out of the basement and crawled into the temple. I met father Elias and took him to the shelter. There I was accepted, helped, taken to the bath. I began to be treated in the group of “alcoholics anonymous” and realized that a stack is not a solution to the problems, it will only aggravate them. Chronic alcoholic who can not stop, there are only three ways: death, prison and the madhouse. For six years I do not drink, – tells about his life Alex.
Seeing that the new tenant honest work, helping in the boiler room and all come from the mind, workers of the rooming house gave him bail and helped gather documents for the restoration of legal capacity. Thanks to their help with Alexei withdrew the diagnosis, are not given second and third “working” group of disability. He was employed as a watchman at the Parking lot. And then in his life there was another miracle.
At the beginning of November 2015 I was asked to put in my hut frozen girl warm. I have it allowed. Talking. Friends. And it so happened that “bask” we had so far, – says Alexey Kurov.
Natalia, a girl from a large family, worked as a nurse in a kindergarten. After the death of her mother, she did not get along in the apartment with the brothers and was on the street. At the request of Alexey also took her to the shelter in the women’s car. But soon they understood that want to be together.
We rented an apartment and began an independent life. Got married. Married. I took the hard and dirty work was both a watchman and a porter, and a janitor. Sometimes fall from exhaustion, but he knew that one should never despair and give up, – says Alexey.
Three years ago, Alexei and Natalia was born Timosha, and this year – daughter Cooking. After the baby by Kulovym issued the state certificate on the parent capital.
We understand that in Kostroma the money to be able to count on a Dorm room. But in Nerekhta for matkapital managed to find not a room but a full apartment in the house with Autonomous heating. We still can’t believe my luck! Neighbors have beautiful. Helped with advice and participation, without any advances have debt almost new stove. There are good people everywhere, – says Natalya.
Next to your new home Korovy broke the garden. Planted herbs, vegetables, salad. At the nearby pond Alexei Came to go fishing.
– we Have here – a real Paradise! – Alexey tells. – Fresh air, nature. The children began to sleep well in the quiet hours. Grace! The Timosha draw in kindergarten. My dream is to insulate the shed so that you can get there chickens and pigs. With animals, we promise to help the monastery in the flophouse.
As told “RG” the Chairman of the Board of the charitable organization “Resurrection” Alexander Pushkarev, now Kostroma is building the capital building of the rooming house, which will replace the old cabins and construction trailers, crammed with dozens of people for various reasons have lost their homes.
In Kostroma there is no public shelter, which helps homeless people. The only shelter is our shelter, which consists of accommodation cabins. Need a permanent building. We are already building. The land, made the project a Foundation. I hope that the summer will finish the first floor. Now we need to buy slabs to the amount of 300 thousand rubles. Thanks to all the people who helped to build! Who regular donations, one-time who, brick by brick. Thank you! says Alexander Pushkarev.
Among the people who are involved in the construction of the new shelter, there are homeless yesterday, to get here and hope for a new happy life.
– We are immensely grateful to everyone who helped us realize our dream! If we’d never been in a shelter – nothing I wouldn’t have. In my eyes the social workers of Nochlezhka helped people to find relatives, to straighten out the documents to get a job. Two legless made dentures. They are now working service yourself, go to their feet. And I remember done me good! If I’m in a rooming house about something ask – I will never refuse. Any person helping in the construction of shelters for its small contribution, can make a contribution and save someone’s life, – says the former tenant of the rooming house Alexey Kurov.
