Br Leopold in the Kyiv storage centre voor Chernihiv

At St. Nicholas in Kyiv, the parish of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. The church was burned down so they use it as a storage from which they distribute humanitarian aid to the villages around including Chernihiv. We should be leaving in about an hour. In the meantime they are praying and celebrating Mass in the basement, also due to the security rules in vigor for possible strikes.

The work goes on

The house of Sonia and Igor was hit by four artillery shots and totally destroyed last year. Fortunately they were in a safe place with their daughter Nikita at the time, and Igor is a professionnal builder. Couragously they worked tirelessly with the help of BoMozhemo, and here they are putting the floor and the electricity. It is a grace to share these days with them, sorting out bricks salvaged from the ruins, crushing them with a sledgehammer for cement or putting the greenhouse back together with its promise of borsch, and other traditional vegetable dishes.

FOLLOW-UP OF OUR NOVEMBER MISSION

Thanks to your gifts, a tremendous work has been accomplished under the leadership of Sacha to bring some comfort to some of the most hardest hit by the hardships of the war. Another part of the donation was used to buy the materials needed for the fixing roofs, floors and walls. No more suitable work to keep us warm in the Chernihiv winter.

TIME TO GO BACK

Work is now completed in Yevgueni and Tania's house. But so many people are still exposed to the cold in bombed houses. With your generosity, we hope to go back and show them that they are not alone in the tribulation, that the victory is where there is hope and solidarity.
