Fastiv, 19.10-26.10.2024

Praised be Jesus Christ!

We spent the second half of the week in Kherson near the front, together with local volunteers, we packed more than 2,200 food kits of first necessity, which are intended for residents of the city and surrounding villages, which suffer the most from enemy shelling. Also, at the request of the Kherson city military administration, we handed over 200 folding beds and 200 blankets, which are extremely necessary for the new shelters being deployed in the city. In Kherson, we helped to equip more than 80 shelters and are helping now. It is important for us that local residents are safe.

We also sent humanitarian aid for forcibly displaced people from the south, who live in Odesa, to the “Krushkovsky Headquarters” Foundation, with whom we have been cooperating since the beginning of the full-scale war. Always mindful of our Defenders, this week we sent them help as requested. Thank you, Humanitarian Nova Poshta, thanks to the fact that you pay for the delivery of the humanitarian aid, we were also able to send humanitarian aid to areas near Pokrovsk and other areas, and we also sent aid to various defenders’ brigades. Thanks to the Foundation of the Sisters of St. Dominic, especially to the sisters in Zhovkva, who always remember us.

We thank the president of the Good Brother Charitable Foundation, to Mr. Mariusz Markowski for sending us food and help for our social kitchen in Kherson. Thank you, our friends from Zwolle, for your unceasing companionship to Ukraine and support of humanitarian missions. Our volunteers took aid for the military in the southern direction.

Everything that we have done and are doing since the beginning of the war, we are sure has a deep meaning, because every good deed is already healing the wounds of this war. It is a light in the hearts of those people who are left alone with their problems and their own pain and suffering. When we can come to their aid, it is also a great joy and comfort for us.

Thank you to all of you who remember, care and remember us, may the Good God bless you. Our Defenders now need everything that will help them warm up. We are currently planning several collections of thermal clothing, trench candles, gas cylinders, thermoses, chemical heaters and everything that will be needed in winter to warm and strengthen our Defenders!

Thank you to everyone who is around.

With prayers
