Winter is coming, all infrastructure is being systematically destroyed leaving families vulnerable to the cold winter ahead. We fear that families will be freezing without any means of being able to provide basic heating for homes... We have been busy preparing solutions and have organized various Winter Coat Drives, collecting coats, blankets, and sleeping bags. Locally we are also able to source wood stoves, providing one for each household.
We are working through our direct family contacts to ensure our donations and efforts are making a direct impact and are going to the immediate support of families.
In the ’90s, many refugees from Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus settled in Lancaster County, PA., creating a vibrant Slavic community. Back 30 years ago, our families were refugees from the Communism Regime; we fled and found refuge here in the states. Today as we look at what is happening back home and the Russian invasion, we feel obligated to help our countrymen. Our community is now actively helping current Ukrainians displaced by the humanitarian crisis.
We speak the language; we understand the culture; this is our home, family, and calling.
