Raneesh Joseph said, "I am very happy now. For 14 days we stayed together as a family in Sumy. Everyone helped back and forth. Endured a lot. Arrived here after traveling for four days without rest. Very happy to see the family. We travelled first by bus, then by train and then by flight. Many of those who were with us helped to care for the baby. Now we need to take a rest."
