Yesterday
Not only are the people in the destroyed apartments affected but the whole apartment building heating and water system is not working on that sie of the building affecting the ones that can stay behind..
This apartment building is located in Slavyansk, Ukraine. The people that lived in those apartments that were destroyed are now displaced. They will have no winter clothing, no winter bed linens, and who knows where they are living and how they are eating...IDP tent camps, with other families in tiny flats, or in IDP places set up in government buildings in other cities away from family and friends. This is why we are sending winter clothing and food. Yes, it will get to them as we have the people in place to do the work. We need your prayers, $$$, winter clothing, bed linens and your help sorting and packing. God has given us an opportunity to help those in need.

There is a way to get this job done taking care of clothing needs of 1.7 million displaced people in Ukraine....one container at a time....$7,000 for shipping and collections, sorting, boxing of clothing.
INDIANA Container loading with Orphan Grain Train for Operation Ukraine. Yes, I am in Mississippi and YES we loaded a container in Indiana yesterday full of winter clothing and a teddy bear! This group is now collecting for the second container of winter clothing! If you have friends, ememies, work connections in INDIANA or western OHIO place send tyhem the collection sites list on the oter post. Or contact me and I will email you a copy of collection sites. Still need about $7,000 a container for shipping....ASAP. $120 will sponsor a 70# box of peanut butter. Any amount of $$$ will help.
We can do something to releave the suffering. If you want to join with us come on board. If you want to do it yourself don't know how I will gladly you show you ways.
Somewhere around 300,000 Ukrainians are displaced! They left their homes carrying whatever they could. It was summer so they carried summer clothing, thinking they would be back to their homes…NOT…The fighting goes on. Fall is coming and winter follows. Living in tents with summer clothes and bed linens will be a disaster when fall arrives and bring death when winter comes.
We can do something about this. $120 will sponsor shipping a 70# box of peanut butter. $12,500 will buy a container of rice that is 42,500 pounds, $7,000 will ship the rice, $7,000 will ship a container of clothing and blankets. And YES I can get it in without the Russians taking it. Yes it will get to the people in need.
Need workers to sort clothing, repair furniture, and stack boxes on pallets.
