All Moved In!

Although Anya finally won her court fight for a government issued apartment over a year ago, it was only this week that she finally moved in! She was given the keys to the apartment in late October, but it was literally just an empty room with no furniture - no stove, no fridge, no curtains or flooring - nothing but 4 walls and a tub and toilet!

Slowly, over the past five months, friends have helped me to help Anya by sponsoring a new couch/bed, fridge, stove, washing machine, and flooring, wall covering and simple curtains. Today I received the sweetest photo - Sasha readying her corner of the bed for her first night's sleep in her new home. 

Anya says Sasha loves it there and is already making herself very much at home. It is the first time in Sasha's little life they will have a home of their own! No more moving from friend to friend, couch to couch. They are home. And I couldn't be more happy, if I had won the lottery.

In May we head over to spend a long-awaited month with them. This will be my bed for the month of May, and it is better than a five-start hotel - bc I'll be sharing it with Sasha. (Anya, Nastia & Matilda will be camping out on the floor.)

This photo warms my heart. I can't stop looking at it...
