The word for “friends” in Ukrainian is DRUZI. So that’s our name for recurring givers—the most faithful friends to our youth. We hope to welcome many of you into DRUZI over the next couple of weeks.
If you’ve already given to support orphaned youth in Zhytomyr, thank you for your generosity! DRUZI is an opportunity to turn that generosity into lifelong transformation for young people like Karina.
Druzi gave Karina a safe place to live.
Karina’s parents abandoned her. She lived with her grandmother, then in a foster home. Then she aged out. When Karina’s boyfriend ended their relationship, she and her new baby needed somewhere to live. Thanks to recurring gifts, our Shelter is always ready for moms in crisis. Karina and baby Evelina moved into our warm, welcoming home.
DRUZI (recurring givers) enable our staff to meet the needs of youth as they arise, including safe housing. Will you join our young people’s most faithful friends at $25, $50, or even $100 each month?
The Shelter solved Karina’s housing crisis. But she needed more than temporary shelter to make a healthy life for her little family. Watch for the rest of her story, next!
