I have a friend from Russia who is a physician and was one is Russia. She married my friend who she met over the internet for Russian brides.(just to get out of there) She was lucky she got a good guy. This was 4 years ago. She made 40.00 a month as a physician in Russia. So any money we send is a big deal. I just hope it actually gets to the right people. I would really want my money to go directly into the hands of a family. I don't know if that is what will happen.
Sometimes you need a little faith. Everything I've read indicates this organization is on the up and up(unlike the Red Cross and United Way).
