Winter has come to Mukachevo, Ukraine

Temperatures in the Mukachevo, Ukraine region has dropped to record levels.  Hard rains, cold temperatures and now snow has caused several clay brick homes to collapse, many families are without electricity and running water and some people have died.  

It is difficult to find any hope with news like this but news over this past week has brought a glimmer of hope to our hearts.  The winter jackets we sent two weeks ago have begun to arrive.  We are very happy to report 15 of the 26 boxes have arrived and all 140 orphan children now have a warm winter jacket.  Everyone’s generous donations provided three times the need for the orphans so we are very glad to see extra jackets, used clothes and winter gloves go to families who just cannot afford to clothe their families this winter.  

Tomorrow 10 more boxes will be mailed bringing our total to 36 boxes of jackets, gloves and used clothing.  We are grateful for your donations and generous hearts.  Your contributions are making a huge difference in our kids lives and your giving was so great it has now blessed many poor families in Mukachevo. 

UP NEXT:

We are moving quickly now to focus on our next need.  WINTER SHOES are desperately needed, so please check in this week for how you can help.

THANK YOU!
