Ukrainian refugee center destroyed
A violent fire started on Friday evening at the refugee center at our office. By God's grace, nobody was hurt, but the 26 Ukrainian living there lost all their possessions. Some of them left barefoot, with only their clothes on. A six moths old baby was among them. They are temporary relocated now at one church facility.
For more than two years, this center offered the refugees a safe place, a community, a place to see God in the people that loved and served them. Today they are back to search the ash and try to find some of their valuables. One lady is looking for important medicines she needs. Another one is hoping to find the money her husband just brought from working abroad. Kids are trying to find some of their toys and most of them are hoping to find some identification paper. The desperation you see in their eyes is overwhelming.
How can you help???
Pray
For the peace of mind of the Ukrainians who lost everything they owned and to draw closer to God in the midst of this situation
Give
They will need to start all over again. They will need housing and food, clothes and shoes, and to renew all their identification papers. We want to help them rent apartments for a few months so they can continue with their lives, and children to continue to go to school.
