The Tomsk family got into the project of the federal TV channel. Now eight children will receive fabulous gifts from Santa Claus.
Alena and Sergey Chechurko are young parents. They are not yet thirty years old, but the couple have two … 8 children: two-year-old Dima, 4-year-old Daniila and 6-year-old Ksenia, as well as 7-year-old Nastya, 8-year-old Vitya, 10-year-old Nikita, 12-year-old Ruslan and 14-year-old Tanya. Three children are her own, and five more are Alena’s siblings, whom she took from the orphanage.
“Mom drank heavily, and as a result, she was deprived of parental rights. It was terrible, my brothers and sisters were constantly crying, asking to go home, saying that they would not live in an orphanage, that it was bad there. And in the end we decided to take them to our place, – Alena recalls. – But it turned out to be difficult to do. According to the norms, we first had to rent or buy a house of at least 130 square meters (13 squares for each family member). And we took off. It was a cottage in Tomsk. We were hoping for help from sponsors who promised to help with payment, but the sponsors suddenly refused their words, and we were forced to look for money for rent on a monthly basis ”.
In social networks, the guys created a group “Revival of the Family”, where they described their lives. Many users do not remain indifferent and transfer money. It is possible to collect up to 30 thousand rubles a month.
“Now we have created a petition asking you to support us in our desire to build our own house. We know that the authorities have already helped some large families in this way. So why are we worse? ” – asks Sergey.
It was this petition that the editors of the new program of the NTV channel saw. Having contacted the guys, they offered … help from Santa Claus from Veliky Ustyug.
“They said that this is a new program and they are looking for heroes all over the country. And our family with an amazing history is like no other. According to the rules of the program, we can ask Santa Claus for gifts for children. It can be both things and toys. I said that each of our guys needs something different. Older Tanya’s dream is a beautiful dress (Ksyusha wants the outfit too), Ruslan will be delighted with the ball, Nikita will be delighted with the Master development kit, and Vitya will be with Lego. Danilka dreams of a robot, and Vityusha dreams of a typewriter. As you can see, there is nothing fantastic, ordinary childhood dreams that are so simple and at the same time so difficult to fulfill, ”Alena sighs.
With or without the support of Santa Claus, the Chechurko family has big plans for the New Year. The main dream is to build or buy a house. In addition, Alena and Sergey want to become entrepreneurs and engage in agriculture. The regional administration promised them a plot of land in the village of Urtam, 100 kilometers from Tomsk. A finished house there will cost about two million. To start construction on their own, Alena and Sergey joined the queue under the “Housing” program – in August 2017, they may be allocated 622 thousand rubles.
“Our children finished the first quarter with good results, and two with excellent results. Thanks to kind people, we dressed them and put them on shoes. The lease has expired and we renewed the contract. We believe that everything will learn from us, and we will forget once and for all the word “rent” and all the formalities that follow from this. This year has been difficult and costly. We paid 432000 rubles just for renting a house, so we continue to believe in our dream – YOUR HOUSE, where the children will feel good and all the money can be spent on them, and not given to someone else for rent, ”says Sergey.
