The upheaval in Ukraine has left many discouraged and defeated. Often it is the upheaval of hunger or homelessness. Too many times, it is a violent or sudden change or disruption causing hopelessness, even despair. But the needs that touch us most are the needs of the little children and mothers.
Our partner and friend in God's work, Derek Thomas, wrote us this message.
"This is a woman and her daughter from the city of Izyum. This city was occupied for over six months by the Russians. And now sits on the edge of the war. Her daughter needs surgery on her mouth due to impact of the war. Her need to pay for the surgery is $1,150. They were living in and out of the bomb shelter for a few months. The procedure is dental related. Would ORH be interested in helping with this need? If so, I'll get you a translation for her videos."
Please watch the video, and as you watch think of the upheaval surrounding this woman and her child. War, fear, and now, unexpected medical hardship of a child are on a short-list of the upheaval making life difficult and draining.
Moreover, she may need Jesus. God be praised that the people who sent her to ORH are engaged in making Him known to all..
ORH sent $1500.00 to pay travel, lodging, food, and medical expense.
In a world of upheaval, your tenderness to the Lord made this young mother's sorrows a little more bearable. You might say, Mother's Day came early.
