MATTHEW 25: MINISTRIES: Long Term Disaster Response to the Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine

We left our home on the day when it all started. There was an explosion in our town at 5AM. We saw unpleasant things happening outside when we looked through the widow. We have two small children and we didn’t hesitate to start packing our stuff because we didn’t know what was going on. We drove for a day without stopping except at gas stations. We drove because the fighting was almost behind us. We were going to our friends’ town, but they called us and said that is was restless there and that there were shootings. We were confused because we no longer knew where to go. I remembered that my cousin lived in that region. We asked her if it was possible for us to come to her because we were exhausted. We needed to rest because it had been very difficult to spend a day in the car with two small children. A spot opened up in this location and we didn’t hesitate to pack our stuff. I thank all those who have made it possible for all of us to stay here. We are deeply grateful for food, for diapers, for clothes, that it is warm in here and that we have a roof over our heads. Despite the situation in our country, we are in an oasis. May God bless you and simply give a hundredfold to everyone who donates and to everyone who helps here. Thank you very much.
