Right now, orphaned youth all around this region are feeling alone and worrying about the future.
They’re getting ready to graduate from an orphanage in the spring, but they never learned how to cook, get a job, or have good hygiene.
They’re about to leave big foster families, knowing their foster parents can’t afford their care anymore.
They’re living with relatives in a nearby village, terrified they’ll fall into addiction and poverty just like their parents.
But YOU can change their whole lives!
What you can provide…
You can provide Christian mentors who will listen to them – just like you brought Lena into the caring circle of our staff.
“Thank you for the opportunity to feel wanted,” Lena wrote, “and confident that I have a place to go and someone to turn to for help!”
You can make sure they don’t suffer from medical crises alone – just like you provided companionship for Olya during a scary day of medical tests.
In fact, you covered dental and medical treatments for 100+ orphaned youth in 2024!
You can keep them off the streets and in safe housing – just like you brought Ruslana to the Shelter when her baby was born.
You also provided furniture and a community of helpers to make her home ready!
I see the effects of war every day. It’s a big problem, especially for our young adults without financial resources, that the prices are so high just for basic needs.
The staff and I always want to say “yes” when our youth come to us with needs.
Thank you for praying that the war will end, and for all of us serving God here.
