Happy Christmas time with our lviv orphans 🎄🎁

11/03/2022

Hello, friends!
Need your help and prayers

Our Christian orphanage "Grace" in Lviv, with which we have been cooperating for many years, urgently needs help. This is not a state orphanage, it exists on donations. And unfortunatelly, now they have lost their financial support, which they had on a permanent basis from sponsors. For the functioning of the orphanage, they need 8,000$ a month (food, clothes, medicine, utility bills, staff salaries and other necessary things). Now 26 kids live there.

Already this month they need 6,000$, and they are knocking on all doors to find their saviors. Indeed, without financial support, they won't be able to work, especially now in the conditions of war, when prices in Ukraine are growing daily.

If you can help, please let us know!
Blessings!

News about our orphanage in Balakliya (Kharkiv region).
This small city was under Russian occupation for six months, without Ukrainian mobile communications and the Internet. Now Ukrainian troops have liberated Balakliya. We are trying to find our teachers and find out information about our kids. It is not easy, but we have already found some. Someone was able to evacuate abroad and to Western Ukraine. Some remained in the Kharkiv region, but in other villages.
The orphanage survived, but the roof of the building was damaged. The director does not get in touch, and it is not yet known when the orphanage will be able to start working. But the teachers have already started trying to find the children, because they have their contact details. We are in touch with them and are ready to help.
Now the goverment is trying to bring life back to this small town, it is necessary to fix the electricity and other infrastructure. And also carry out complete demining of residential areas after the Russians.

And we also want to tell about Denise Nesterenko. 🙏🙌
Denise is a graduate of this orphanage. He is our beloved child from the beginning of our work. Denis spent the entire occupation in Balakliya with his grandmother. He experienced many scary moments. When the connection was restored, we found him.

Unfortunately, before the beginning of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, he tried to evacuate to the lands controlled by Ukraine, but was unable to do so.😔 The Russians catched him, they checked his phone and found chats with relatives and friends from Ukraine, which they did not like. 😰
Denis was interrogated and beaten for couple days. It is hard for us to imagine what he went through. And when the Ukrainian offensive began, he was close to the shelling. In the end, he was able to cross the border into Russia, then Belarus. Now he is in Germany, thanks to volunteers. Nervous, scared, but alive. 🙌
We are in touch with him, we hope that he will return to Ukraine soon.

Good news!👌
Our kids from the Lviv orphanage have returned from Poland. Our Dasya had the opportunity to see them. 🙌

Some of the older children already live there and are happy!
We are grateful to everyone who helped us raise funds for this construction. It was long and expensive, but we did it! Now adult orphans will be able to live under Christian supervision and acquire the necessary life skills for adult life. 🙌
Thank you, friends!

1. Finally, good news from Ukraine.
Ukrainian troops launched a counteroffensive in the Kherson and Kharkiv directions.
We have excellent results in the Kharkiv region. As of today, we have broken through the Russian defenses and liberated Balakliya (OUR ORPHANAGE IS THERE), Kupyansk (a large base of the Russians) and have already reached Izyum (this is a key city in the Kharkiv region for the Russians, there is their headquarters and a large base that provides them troops in Kharkiv and Donetsk regions). There is information from Russian sources that they are already leaving Izyum. So far, in 5 days, we have freed about 1,500 square kilometers of our land. These are more than 30 settlements. The Russians are fleeing closer to the Luhansk region. Their losses are huge. This is a big defeat for the Russians.
On the Kherson direction, we broke through the first line of defense of the Russians and liberated 3 settlements. Let me remind you that we have cut off all logistics routes for the Russians in this region, their warehouses are being destroyed every day, in fact there are currently 20,000 Russian soldiers who are trapped and without weapons.
2. The Kremlin silences the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region and refuses to publicly comment on them.
3. In order to take revenge for their failures, the Russians began shelling more residential areas of Kharkiv.

1. Yesterday, Independence Day was celebrated in Ukraine. The intelligence service warned that the Russians could launch a massive missile attack on this day. And it happened. All day the Russians launched missiles all over the territory of Ukraine, our air defense system worked very well, but in the end there were hits in the Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Dnipropetrovsk regions, mainly on military targets. But a terrible thing happened in Dnipropetrovsk region.
The Russians fired rockets at the railway station in the village of Chapline, and one rocket hit the train, 4 carriages with passengers caught fire, also the car with 5 people inside, which was standing next to the track (all the passengers of the car burned alive, including a 6-year-old child). The residential sector in the area was also shelled. In total, 25 civilians were killed, including 2 children, and 31 people were injured.
2. The expected russian's offensive in the south of Ukraine didn't happen yet, because we successfully destroy their warehouses with ammunition every day. The Russians are trampling in place along the entire front line and cannot capture other cities. If you look at the picture I am providing, you can see the progress of the Russians over the last month. He is almost gone.
3. The nuclear blackmail of the Russians at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant continues. They are increasing the presence of their military equipment near the reactors, which is confirmed by satellite images, and they also let Ukrainian employees of the station go on a "weekend". It is not clear what exactly they want to do with this station.
4. The threat of missile attacks still persists, Russia keeps ships in the Black Sea with 28 missiles on board.
5. Yesterday was exactly 6 months of our war. I will give some numbers. Russians occupied 20% of Ukrainian territories. Russian troops entered 3,620 settlements in Ukraine. We have already free 1,017 of them. 2603 still needs to be free. 9,000 confirmed dead Ukrainian soldiers and 7,000 missing (some are captured, some died). 45,000 dead Russian soldiers. 13 million refugees (within the country and abroad). 2 million people were deported to Russia (forced and voluntary) to remote regions of the Russian Federation: Siberia, Altai, Yakutia, Bashkorstan etc. Fall of the economy of Ukraine by 40%. A 30% increase in prices for products and transport. Total documented damage to infrastructure is $113.5 billion.

1. In the East - the Russians took the last city in the Luhansk region - Lysychansk. Now they control almost all Luhansk region. But they spent 3 months and many thousands of their soldiers on it. If we remember that the Russians planned to capture all of Ukraine in 3 days, then this can hardly be considered as a great victory for them.
Now they have thrown all their forces into capturing the Donetsk region, currently they control half of this region. Their goal now is the cities of Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut. Every day they bombard Donetsk region with rockets, destroying residential areas and killing civilians who did not want to evacuate. Yesterday they hit a residential apartment building with a rocket. At this moment, the bodies of 19 dead people have already been found, there are still people under the rubble.
2. Kharkiv is shelled every day. Tonight, a rocket hit an apartment building. In the morning, 10 rockets hit residential areas again. There are dead.
3. Shelling of Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Dnipro continues daily. These are the big cities that are closest to the front line and the Russians can hit them with their MLRS.
4. Instead, missile terror with long-range missiles stopped for some time. Air alarms throughout Ukraine have become less frequent.
5. We have successes. Ukrainian troops are counterattacking in the Kherson and Zaporizhia directions. Several settlements were liberated. Also, with the help of Western weapons, we destroy Russian ammunition depots and Russian command posts on our territories every day. This greatly complicates their logistics, because it is difficult and time-consuming to bring ammunition to the front line from Russia or Crimea every day. Therefore, the pace and strength of their attacks slowed down.
6. At least 37.5 thousand Russian soldiers have already died.

1. The Russians started a missile terror in Ukraine. Every day and night they fire on our cities, and their missiles do not always hit military objects.
In Kremenchug (Poltava region) hit the shopping center. 18 dead, more than 40 missing, 56 wounded. Rescuers are still finding human remains there.
In Mykolaiv the missile hit the multi-storey residential building while people slept in the morning. 5 dead.
Last night also struck missiles on Ochakov (Mykolaiv region), also hit the multi-storey residential building , 3 people dead, including the 6-year-old girl, 6 are wounded.
In Dnipropetrovsk, 2 people were killed and 7 wounded in the service station.
2. In the East, the Russians are trying to surround Lysychansk, the last uncaptured city in the Luhansk region. Now they are destroying this city by shelling. They fired artillery at local residents who drew water from a cistern. 8 people were killed and 21 were injured.
3. Kharkiv is shelled with artillery every day. The day before yesterday, 9 people died and 29 were injured in the blow, including children. Explosions in Kharkiv every day.
4. Putin handed over Iskander missile systems to Belarus. Now we expect rocket fire from Belarus.
5. From the good news: our artillery troops hit a large Russian headquarters in Izyum (Kharkiv region) and destroyed several more ammunition depots in the East.
