We have contacted our good friends in Białystok, Poland to see how we can help. Robert, Ania and their two teenaged sons are actively engaged in shipping donations to the Ukrainian border (a little over 100 miles away) and receiving refugees into their town.
First off, Robert asks for prayers for the people of Ukraine AND Russia. If anyone is inclined to help financially, he has two suggestions.
Caritas is an international Roman Catholic organization that has been active in Ukraine for years now. They have established centers throughout the country and are assisting refugees at the border right now. They have set up a special fund targeting Ukraine where one can donate via credit card in US dollars. Here is the link:
Fundacja Dialog is a small organization that has been helping the needy in Białystok since 2001. They are on the front lines of refugee settlement in Białystok and Robert’s family is volunteering there. They have already welcomed 30 Ukrainian women and children into the city and more are on the way. Here is a link to their Facebook page where you donate via credit card in US dollars:
Just because we can’t do everything, it doesn’t mean we can’t do something!
