Andrei and Olesya Chernishov are the rarest of rare— both orphans themselves, they went to college, married, and adopted 4 girls! None of them have ever lived in a home with running water. They walked every day to a well and carried water back home in buckets, which they would then use very sparingly for sponge baths and dishes.
When Olesya got pregnant with their first biological baby a year ago, she dreamed of having running water and a working kitchen and bathroom. Because of generous giving to Doorways to Hope, Andrei was able to finish installing running water and a bathroom and kitchen while Olesya was recovering from giving birth at the hospital. What a blessing for this special family!
