Lyudmila Kirichenko, a social worker from the Bryansk region, inherited 200 thousand rubles from her father and spent all of this money on a house for her neighbor – a mother of six children. Her relatives did not approve of this act, but Lyudmila herself is happy.
Maria Belokopytova is raising six children alone. Her eldest son is 13 years old, and the youngest is one year old. Maria’s first husband died, and the relationship with her second husband did not work out.
Maria moved to the Bryansk region from the Krasnodar region. In the village of Sofievka, she was given a dilapidated house.

“The ceiling was crumbling, the stove was falling apart. We were given another house. It was wooden and small. There were two bedrooms, a living room, an entrance hall and a kitchen. But there was no water. I wanted the house to be put on the water mains, but it cost 65 thousand rubles. Where could I get this amount from?” Maria told RIA Novosti.
She went to the water pump a kilometer from the house to get water.
Maria was helped by her neighbor’s daughter, Lyudmila Kirichenko. She is a social worker by profession.
When Maria went to the hospital with her youngest child, Lyudmila visited them and brought products. Later she became godmother to all of Maria’s six children.

When Lyudmila received an inheritance after the death of her father, she spent all of the money on a new house for the Belokopytov family.
“After Lyudmila’s father died, she inherited 200 thousand rubles. And she gave them to us. She also helped us with the repair work,” said Maria.
The house, which the family has already moved in, has all the amenities. It is located near a kindergarten and a school.

Her relatives and friends did not approve of Lyudmila’s act. But she herself believes that she did the right thing.
“She is trying to get out of the situation in which she found herself: she maintains order in the house, is engaged in housekeeping,” Lyudmila said about Maria.
