Stand with Ukraine

One of our on-the-ground partners just sent me this touching report about a man his team picked up on the roadside while driving supplies to desperately needy Ukrainians.

Viktor is from Mariupol. Since the beginning of the war, Viktor and his brother and sister-in-law have been taking care of his mother, who was 91 years old and unable to escape.

As the war dragged on, he lost communication, water, gas, and power.

Recently, his mother passed away, so he decided it was time for him and the rest of the family to leave. ... He was able to get out and began hitchhiking and walking the 130km to Zaporizhya.

After seven days of this, we [found him] and stopped along the road to pick up this gentle-spirited man. He has lost everything, but the joy on his face and the joy in his heart when he got into our vehicle was something I will never forget. Fighting tears and trembling at times, he told us his story and that he needed to get to Lviv to meet the rest of his family.

[After] a bit of rest, we drove him to the train station and got him on the train where he will be reunited with his family tomorrow morning.

There’s not much else to say, is there? I’m deeply grateful that, working together, we were able to help this innocent victim of a cruel war.

This is the type of ministry you empower when you give to Liberty Relief International.

THANK YOU for your ongoing compassion for people like Viktor!

So many are suffering and need our help. So many have lost everything and need hope.

Please keep praying that the war will end soon, that children, parents, grandparents and others will find refuge and that God will be glorified in all this. Thank you.
