Fastiv, 7.10 – 14.10.23

Praised be Jesus Christ!

In recent days, we are very worried about our Defenders in the Donetsk region, in particular in Avdiivka, because there are many of ours from Fastiv and its surroundings, our acquaintances and relatives of our acquaintances. Restlessness and excitement for our boys mobilizes us to greater activity and prayer, and we ask for prayer.

This week, our volunteers took humanitarian aid to Odesa, where many forcibly displaced people from the South live. We have also sent addressed assistance to IDPs, thanks to Nova Poshta for support. We thank our partners and friends Charitable Freta and the Charitable Foundation, who last week organized a charity fair to support the children studying at our school, and also delivered humanitarian aid to Fastiv yesterday – thanks to Mr. Pawel Bandazewski from Warsaw and Mrs. Marzena for their sacrifice.

Thank you for all your efforts in finding humanitarian aid to Mr. Ireneusz, who spared no effort this week to deliver diapers, food, and beds to the St. Martin Center. Thanks to the community of Secular Dominicans from Zwolle for their memory and support.

This week we started a project of a social hairdresser. The residents of our shelter, mothers and children who were forced to leave their homes due to the brutal war, were the first to receive the service. We will continue to collect household appliances for areas of the Kherson region that were flooded: sleeping bags, generators, mats, gas burners, over-the-counter antiviral drugs, CAT tourniquets. This week we distributed 1,902 essential food kits (14,000 kg of humanitarian aid) Thank you for any support and help.

With prayers

Fr. Mykhailo Romaniv OP
