Simeon had a good life in Ukraine. “My family was well off,” he said. “We had everything we needed.” Then, the war took it all from him—including his father, who went missing in action. Simeon recalled, “I had absolutely nothing. It was humbling.”
Forced to leave his homeland, Simeon and his bride, Liza, sought refuge in Israel, and soon they had a baby boy. Yet, starting over in a new country was challenging.
To support his family, Simeon worked long nights at one job, then served half days at an army base. With no bed, he slept a few hours on the floor. Utility bills kept piling up as he earned barely enough for rent and food. Then things suddenly got even worse when their landlord sold the apartment where they lived.
Despite all that, Simeon said, “We trusted that God would provide.” Liza added, “We prayed a lot, hoped, and relied on God.” And their prayers were answered, thanks to you!
Friends pointed them to CBN Israel, and caring donors helped them move, pay off their bills—and paid for several months of rent, along with providing groceries and basic furniture. Plus, they gave Liza private instructions to learn Hebrew—so she can study and stay at home with her son.
“It all happened in a miraculous way,” Liza said gratefully. “We can raise our son and not worry about tomorrow. I thank God we’ve gotten through this and can focus on moving forward!”
