RUSSIA – This article is an update on the Shestopalov family that was in a tragic car accident, claiming the life of a young girl.
Russian Overseer, Vladimir Shestopalov and his family suffered in a tragic car accident that claimed the life of his daughter and kept him and three additional members of his family hospitalized.
The funeral for Sabrina, his daughter, took place 10 days after the accident. The delay was due primarily to the parents’ health – they were released from the hospital for the day of the funeral and then had to return. Additionally, they had relatives to arrive from Europe and the United States.
After almost a month from the accident, all of the family members have been released from the hospital. However, all of them continue to be under medical care for broken bones and internal injuries. Further medical procedures and surgeries are expected for one of the children. And of course, there is the long-term grieving process that has just begun.
In addition to medical issues, there are also a number of financial and logistical issues facing the Shestopalov’s. Please keep Bishop Shestopalov and his family in your prayers.
