What a priest found after a boy asked for food for his mother
Homeless children One of the most terrible problems of our time. Caught without a roof over his head and a reliable parental shoulder, a young child wanders the streets, trying just to survive. Not everyone gets out of this difficult situation. But happy stories do happen. We will share one of these with you in today’s article.
Homeless children Dmitry lives in the village and serves as a priest in the local church. He knows his parishioners by name and is always aware of all the news that appears in the village. When one of the residents needs help, the first thing everyone always turns to Dmitry.
One day a little boy appeared on the doorstep of the priest’s house. He asked for food for his sick mother. Dmitri has never seen this child before. He decided to buy him a drink and try to find out where he came from and what he was doing here. But when the priest gave the boy a package of food, he immediately ran away, threw a quiet thank you.
This had never happened before, so the priest decided to visit the neighboring houses and see if the other villagers knew anything. It turned out that this boy for several days knocking on the door to different people in search of some food. He's not asking for money, just food.
You can see that the boy is scared, afraid to ask for help and tries not to contact anyone. He didn’t look more than 8 years old and didn’t look like he’d been on the street for a long time. So it's a lot more complicated than it looks.
No one knows where this child lives or where he came from. Homeless children and adults have never come to this village before. The priest was seriously concerned about what was happening and decided at all costs to find out who this boy was.
The investigation of the priest Dmitry decided to follow the boy. He came back to him a few days later. Again he asked for some food and ran away again in a hurry, as soon as the priest managed to hand him a package of groceries. The child did not look back and walked fast.
The priest followed him carefully so that the boy would not find him. The heroes walked long enough until they wandered into an abandoned part of the village. There was a house in which no one lived for a long time. The boy entered it, and Dmitry heard the barking of a dog and the joyful voice of a girl: “Vanya, you have come!” I'm so hungry, what did you bring?
Dmitry began to guess what was happening, but decided to see for himself. He quietly knocked on the door and entered an old abandoned house. The boy immediately pulled back, blocking his sister. The black Labrador began barking frantically.
“It's okay, don't be afraid. I'm Priest Dmitri, you came to me for food, remember? You can trust me. Tell me what happened to you, why are you hiding in this house? said the priest.
It was clear that the boy was still alert. But his sister, on the contrary, immediately stepped forward and began to look at the stranger with interest. She was 5 years old and looked very tired.
Then he took her out and said, “Our mom got sick and my dad left us.” When my mother died, the police and doctors came home. I knew that if Anyuta and I stayed there, we would be separated because we had no other relatives. So I decided to run away with Dora, our dog. And here we are.
A happy ending, the priest was moved by this story. He said, Trust me, you will not be separated and everything will be fine. You need another place to live. This house is cold and there's no food. Come with me and I'll help you, I promise. Dora will stay with you too, don’t worry.”
The homeless children returned with the priest to the village. While he called the relevant authorities and found out what happened, Vanya and Anyuta lived with Dmitry. It turned out that the social service has been looking for them for a month. There is a family that is ready to accept children and take care of them. All we have to do is introduce them.
Dmitry managed to build a trusting relationship with children. A few weeks later, they found themselves in a new family, which adopted not only them, but also the dog Dora. It's been over a year since then. Vanya and Anya fully adapted to their new life, and the priest continued to visit them from time to time.
What could be more beautiful than stories in which homeless children find a family? It’s great that miracles happen and people who care contribute to it. In the place of the priest could be anyone. But we are sure that this man would do the same and help disadvantaged children.
