My name is Michael. I live and work in Europe. I am not associated in any way shape or form to TF. I have however recently been made aware of some quite disturbing claims found on a certain site rearding a "Christina" and the organization "Love's Bridge."
As I worked in Russia for nearly 4 years off and on. I feel somewhat compelled to write on the subject surrounding a certain 'Christina' and the organization'Love's Bridge'. For the record I would like to say that I worked for Love's Bridge in Russia for nearly 3 years, and I am proud to say that I did.
What our work/organization did there had and still does not have anything to do with TF or and other former name that have used i.e. COG etc... We operated completely separately and on our own initative. I also happen to know this "Christina" individual associated in many of your comments regarding Love's Bridge very well. It sadden's me to say the least that she is being ridiculed in any way for what she (and others) have tried to do for the orphaned children in the northern Russian city of Perm. She is a decent, hard woking and deicated person who has given much of her life and time in sacrifice to what she believes in and has done a lot in Perm for those abandoned children.
Concerning the plea to Christina to "come clean" I can't think of anything more appropriate than for that to be applied to the person who has voiced these unfounded statements regarding her and Love's Bridge.
It's seems quite clear to me that either you have made these claims mistakenly and without the necessary research required to add credibility to your "cause" or you have accused the wrong person for which you should promptly apologise. Or possibly could it be that you are unaware that your need for professional phsyciatrical help at some degree or other may be necessary. I do hope the latter is not the case and that this is a situation that can be cleared up quickly and easily and be worked out in the best intrests of all invloved. If anyone has any questions or would like to email me you can feel free to contact me at: ')
Best of luck to whoever reads this, I hope that it aids in setting the record straight and making a little sense from this minor fiasco.
Michael
