ultrafacts:Dobrev was born 20 July 1914 in the village of Bailovo. His father died in World War I and his mother had to raise their children by herself. Dobrev does not remember his youth and school years. He decided to marry around 1940, which is around when Bulgaria joined World War II. In one of the bombings of Sofia a bomb fell near him and he lost almost all his hearing. Dobrev and his wife had four kids, two of which he outlived.Over the years Dobrev became detached from the material aspects of life and devoted himself entirely to the spirit world. He has donated all his belongings and walks 25 km into the city everyday to beg for money to donate towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages. He has donated more than €50,000 so far.Source For more facts follow Ultrafacts -- source link
