Report from Ivan Sobolev in Chernihev, Ukraine

LifeNets helps with medical supplies and equipment

Posted October 2, 2016

LifeNets has been helping a Ivan Sobolev who was paralyzed after a diving accident in 2001. We visited him January 2003 while visiting in the Chernobyl, Ukraine area. We just sent a shipment of much needed medical supplies and specialty cushion that reduces ulcers from long sitting in a wheel chair. Here is a letter and photos that we just received from Ivan.

Hello to the Kubiks!

In our LifeNets experience we don't always realize how much impact our help makes. This is a continuation of the story of Ivan Sobolev, who became paralyzed in a diving accident in 2001  We were directed to Ivan by "Revival's" director Dr. Vasyl Pasichnyk while visiting Chernihev in January 2003 when our LifeNets Indiana delegation visited Ivan in his parents' apartment. 

We are very happy to have received your shipment that was all in order. It was delivered to us by courirer . Ivan is all smiles as he looks over the shipment over and over and does not have enough words of delight.

This is a blessing for us to have such a gift to enable safe and comfortable existence for Ivan. We cannot think anything that could hvae been a greater blessing for us.

Just the day before I read the book by an ancient author, where he wrote: "You want to be happy? Make others happy!" Frankly, with all my heart - let your blessings be a blessing to your loved ones and friends. Let more people see and know your good works, your kindness and understanding for those who have troubles.

My friends sometimes ask: "Why do you do things for people when they just ask?" I always answer that I have an example of a person who helps, and I shall do whatever I can for others.

Let the ever-expanding range of good that thanks to your tireless work exists on earth, let every day an increasing your supporters and helpers as the LORD directs your efforts and provide you and your family a blessed way of life.

Sincere congratulations to your charming wife!|
With respect we bow.

Family Sobolev
