Help Father Alexander Skorik to fight cancer and stay with his family.

Wellington

Father Alexnder Skorik was a well respected and beloved priest in Russian Orthodox Church in Wellington. He's moved back to Russia some time ago to be with his family and take care of his baby son Tihon. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in May 2020. He's currently in a hospital in Russia awaiting for his surgery. He needs your help to fund his after surgery care and recovery and future radio- or chemotherapy (depending on the biopsy results). He and his family would highly appreciate any donations as they are in a dire need of support.

Дорогие друзья! Мы обращаемся к вам с просьбой оказать финансовую помощь нашему дорогому и уважаемому отцу Александру Скорику, бывшему священнику русского прихода в городе Веллингтон. Сейчас он находится в больнице в России, и его готовят к серьезной операции по удалению раковой опухоли в легких. Деньги необходимы для реабилитации, приобретения необходимых лекарств и последующей радио или химиотерапии. Уповаем на ваше милосердие и помощь в его скорейшем выздоровлении и воссоединении с матушкой Ксенией и сыном Тихоном.

Thank you for your generosity  1 September 2020

Fr Alexander thanks you all wholeheartedly for the generous donations.

It's been a very challenging time for him. His surgery, which was to remove the tumor in the lungs, went well. However, he was infected with COVID-19 while in post-surgery care in the hospital and spent two weeks in a special quarantine facility. By the grace of God Fr Alexander has recovered and is now back home. He's still a little fragile but stays optimistic and is able to attend the church services. His next stage on the way to full recovery will be chemotherapy. He is to see the doctors later this week about it.

All the donations will be used to pay the hospital related expenses and for future chemotherapy treatment.
