Vamshi Madhava das and his wife Vimala devi dasi

Vamshi Madhava das, his wife Vimala devi dasi, and their three children, Vrinda (15 years old), Radha Raman (9 years old), and Haridas (7 years old), live in Oleshki in the Kherson region.

Last month we reported that Vamshi Madhava das was shot in the arm while in his home. He had sustained shrapnel damage to his chest as well. Devotees brought him to a local hospital for surgery and subsequently, he had to be driven back and forth every day to have his bandages changed. His wound has healed but he is experiencing weakness, especially in his arm.

Oleshki and the whole Kherson region are on the brink of a humanitarian crisis. Besides the shortage of supplies, the region is experiencing looting shops, stealing vehicles, and breaking into office buildings. The region is not safe and many people are in stress and fear.
