Audrey learned about Christina and Ivan from the material "The Debt Book of Fates". The American wrote to the author of the material, Evgenia Volunkova, that she admires the generosity of the owner of the store, Galina Suvorova, who lends food, realizing that the money may not be returned.

“It’s very cool that this story resonated with a person from the other side of the world. And it was even more pleasant to read that Audrey loves my texts,” says Evgenia Volunkova.

The material was published back in April. It tells about the Hali-Gali store, whose owner Galina Suvorova lends products to customers if they cannot pay due to a difficult life situation.

Ivan and Christina owed the store 4200 rubles (almost $ 58). Previously, Ivan worked at the state farm until they stopped paying him. Now she and Christina are digging graves and helping local residents.

“The poorest months in terms of earnings are January, February and half of March. Almost no hack work. But this year the coronavirus helped - we are digging graves. During the pandemic, we dug so many graves that we can’t count them. Recently, five were buried at once. Four thousand from the grave - consider it twenty in your pocket. A very profitable occupation,” Ivan shared the hardships of life.

When there is no money at all, Ivan says, they go to borrow from friends and neighbors, and then give it back with work.

The owner of the store promised to tell Ivan and Christina that their debt is now closed.

“Life is an amazing thing. I’ll be sure to tell Vanka and Christina that Audrey, a stranger to us, paid the debt for them. This once again confirms that we all live on the same land, which must be protected,” concluded Galina Suvorova.
