Helping Ukrainian Refugees

Since Putin’s War began in February over 60,000 people of Ukraine have sought Lithuania as a place of refuge. In the small town of Birzai there are around 170 refugees living in this area. Some come and stay and others move on, either back to Ukraine to find their loved ones or to other countries where jobs are more plentiful.

As this crisis continued to rage Gifts of Grace wanted to be able to help, because we knew that this could very easily be happening to the ones we know and love in Lithuania and Estonia. So, we began a campaign to raise funds for the refugees that were coming into these countries.

In Birzai, Lithuania, Regina, the director of Pagalbos Centras has overseen this project, along with her team of ladies who have helped to make sure the children have school supplies, clothing, food, and other various necessities. They have also made sure that the parent or grandparents needs have been met as well. Pagalbos Centras has also been helping with housing one family in the Gifts of Grace Center in Paceriaukste.

In Tallinn, Estonia we have been helping through Pastor Andrus and his wife Jelena by supplying funds for medical packets for the refugee families. At one point a man from their church went into the war zone of Ukraine and gave out these medical packets. He told Jelena of his experience and how happy the folks were to have these supplies as there were none to be had.

If you would like to give to this project, I want to assure you that all funds are used directly for the refugees and Ukrainian people living in Ukraine at this time. None of your funds will go to administration cost, as our work is strictly volunteer.

God Bless You and God Bless Ukraine.
