Thank you for praying and giving. We are already on the way to reaching our financial goal to help the Ukranian Refugees. Later today we will wire the 1st amount of money to Rasa. Please let those you know what is happening and forward these messages as you feel appropriate. The need is BIG and this is not a short-term endeavor. We will email updates as we get them.
For now the funds we send will help in 2 ways:
FIRST, we will help towards for the costs of housing and feeding the refugees at the Rasa Center. As of last night there were 13 mothers and 18 children settled safely in the Centre. To increase capacity at the Rasa Family Centre they have added bunkbeds to the rooms. More refugees are expected daily.
SECOND, we hope to provide funds to go towards a large box truck filled with food, water and essential supplies that the Rasa team will drive to the Romanian/Ukrainian border. This will provide food for HUNDREDS of refugees. Store shelves in Ukraine are almost completely barren. If the team can get in and out quickly, we will continue to do this for as long as the money is there....the cost of the first truck load was $5,400 US dollars. The next shipment will be about $7,700 US dollars. Each truck load of food and supplies will help HUNDREDS of Ukrainian Refugees.
PRAYER REQUESTS FROM THE RASA TEAM:
- Please pray for additional staffing for the Centre to help them with the cooking, cleaning and caring for the influx of refugees.
- Please pray for finances to feed and house the refugee families who may be there for a very long time.
- Please pray for good health and energy for the Rasa staff.
- Please pray for all the refugees at the Rasa Center who are in deep anguish after having been separated from their husbands, fathers and homes due to the war.
WHEN YOU GIVE TO ABUNDANT HOPE MINISTRIES, WE WILL SEND 100% TO THE RASA CENTER AND THEY WILL USE 100% TO HELP THE UKRAINIAN REFUGEES.
