Dear friends,
Our traditional Saint Nicholas - Christmas collection for Ukraine has a special character this year. As a result of the ongoing war, there are more people in Ukraine who need hope and a helping hand. Those who remain in their country, mostly elderly, lonely, disabled, or sick people, are more and more faced with the reality that they do not have the means to provide basic life needs, including medicines.
Unfortunately, we cannot help everyone. However, with your continued support we would like to consolidate and strengthen the aide systems we have established over the last few years (even before the war). This support through the administration by our long-term collaborators who reside in Ukraine literally "transform" our financial contributions with their whole hearts and lives into concrete help and concrete hope - they buy and bring basic food, drugstore items and necessary medicines to poor people, or contribute to lonely or old people to pay for utilities when they are in danger of being completely cut off from energies.
