Fastiv, 17-19.11.2022

Praised be Jesus Christ!

Today our group returned from Kherson. So, a few words about liberated Kherson! Despite the fact that the city is deprived of electricity and water and the cold hurts, everyone we met was full of joy and sense of freedom. A huge number of flags from small to large flying on buildings and ordinary fences. Today in the city, people greeted our volunteers with the words “Glory to Ukraine”. However, it is noticeable that the city is sparsely populated and in some places the neighborhoods and houses are still waiting for their owners. We took six cars with more than 11 tons of humanitarian aid: food, household chemicals, warm blankets for the residents of Kherson. We thank all our friends and benefactors, the Office of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, the Dolindo Volunteer Center, personally the director Mr. Yevhen Ivanyuk, the volunteer Peter from Boyarka, Mr. Bohdan from Kyiv, Charitable Freta, and the Charitable Foundation, we thank Father Maksym, the rector of the parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for the hospitality in Kherson. We would like to thank Mr. Ihor Chornoy and Mr. Serhiy Tarasenko for coordinating the BF Ukrainian United Family. In general, this week we supported the military on the front line and delivered humanitarian aid to Chernihiv, Odesa, Baryshivka, provided assistance to forcibly displaced families living in Fastiv, helped families in difficult life circumstances – in total this is 2,977 food kits (19,500 kg). We are sincerely grateful to everyone who is in solidarity with us. Together we can do more!

With prayers,

Father Mykhailo OP
