Christ was born!

This difficult year is coming to an end and we understand that the war may continue during the next year. In these Christmas holidays, on the one hand, there is hope, because Christ is coming into the world as the Prince of Peace, and on the other hand, there is the cruelty of Herod, who kills the Bethlehem babies.

Dear friends, who always remember us and support our activities, thank you for your care, kindness, and prayerful protection, regardless of the distance. You are our hope that we will not be alone. Thank you that we can count on you in this difficult time for our country.

This week after Christmas, our volunteers sent targeted aid to various areas for forcibly displaced Ukrainians who are in difficult life circumstances. Thank you, Nova Poshta Humanitarian, for your constant and persistent support. We continue the much-needed project “Aibolyt”, the medical transfer of veterans of the Armed Forces, together with the BF “Wings of Victory” and artists Oleksandr Klymenko and Sonya Atlantova. In December, medical transport by special transport was provided to 70 defenders who were seriously injured.

In Kherson, our courageous volunteers in the social kitchen prepared 14,272 dinners for the needy, the disabled, and the defenders of Kherson. We are also continuing the project of evacuating people with limited mobility from this long-suffering city, together with the NGO Free because Strong. In December, 80 people with reduced mobility were evacuated. Volunteers have traveled 2,983 km in extremely difficult conditions.

Thank you, Charitables Freta and the Charitable Foundation, for the charity fair at the Dominican Priory in the Freta street in Warsaw! Your support is very important and priceless for our children. Thank you, Friends and Partners, for the joint efforts that bring our victory closer!

This week, we are distributing 7,500 kg of humanitarian aid to the most needy. This would not have been possible without the combined efforts of the entire team of our Foundation. Thank you, every volunteer and employee of our ministries and projects, for your joint struggle! We hope and believe in a just peace for Ukraine.

I remind you that the collection of warm things, chemical heaters, sleeping bags, candles, batteries, power banks and generators is ongoing, thank you everyone for your donation.

With prayers
