Schön zu lesen, dass das neue Rettungsfahrzeug durch die Spende von Frau Stavroula Geramani möglich wurde. Als Krankenschwester weiß ich, wie wichtig ein gut ausgestattetes Auto für die ersten Minuten ist, besonders in einer Region wie Kymi. Gott segne die Arbeit des Hospitals und die Spenderin.

Дякую за новину. Добре, що пані Ставрула Герамані подарувала нове повністю обладнане авто, бо в таких місцях, як Кімі, кожна хвилина на рахунку. Нехай Господь благословляє лікарів і всіх, хто там працює.

Добре, що пані Ставрула Герамані подарувала повністю обладнане авто саме для Кімі. У таких гірських районах кожна хвилина справді на вагу золота, як каже Леся. Нехай Господь допомагає лікарям і водіям цього нового «швидкого».

Yes, Lesya, I agree - in such remote places as Kimi, every minute really counts. It is good that Mrs. Stavrula Geramani helped so concretely, and not just with words. May everything continue to work properly.

Богдан Панченко

It's good that Lesya was remembered - indeed, every minute is precious in the mountains. The car turned out to be good, fully equipped, so now they will get to the patients in the surrounding villages faster. May the Lord protect both doctors and drivers.

It's good that the new ambulance is fully equipped, because the roads in Kymi and the surrounding villages are difficult and every minute counts. We thank Mrs. Stavroula Geramani for the donation and Reverend Seraphim who went and performed the Consecration together with Fr. Ilias from the Clock. May the doctors and drivers be strong.

As a nurse, I know very well that in mountainous areas like Kimi, every minute really counts. Thank you to Mrs. Stavrula Geramani for the specific help - a fully equipped car is not just a gift, but a real support. May the Lord protect both the drivers and the doctors who will ride on it.

Тетяна Лисенко

Yes, Lesya, I agree, every minute is really worth its weight in gold, especially when the road in Kim is not the closest. Mrs. Stavrula did a good deed, not just with money, but with a specific car. Let both the doctors and the machine serve people for a long time.

Леся Бойко

Yes, Svetlana, as a nurse you know this for sure. In Odesa, it also happens that every minute is precious, but in the mountains, it is ready. It is good that Mrs. Stavrula Geramanis gave the car itself, and not just money. Can you say what most often breaks down in such cars on your roads?

Олег Бондаренко

It's good that you mentioned the mountain roads - in Kim it really happens that every minute is decisive. Thank you to Mrs. Stavrula for such generous help, the car turned out to be great. May the Lord give health to all who will ride it.

Сергій Кузьменко

I agree, Tatiana, the car is really a concrete help. We also had a similar case in Poltava, when a new "ambulance" from philanthropists arrived, and the doctors immediately said - now they can get to remote villages faster. And do you often visit those parts near Kimi?

Тарас Шевчук

Yes, Lesya, in the mountains every minute is worth its weight in gold, I know this well as a bus driver on our Carpathian roads. It's good that the car is fully equipped, and not just given money. And what often fails in such cars - chassis or electronics?

Галина Панченко

Yes, Taras, every minute really counts in the mountains, especially when the road is narrow and potholed. It seems to me that in such cars, it is the chassis that most often suffers from our pits, and not the electronics. And do you often take people to the hospital in Kim?
