Written by Family of Christ International | Nov 19, 2024 2:03:50 PM

As we approach the end of a year marked by unprecedented challenges and profound resilience, Family of Christ International stands steadfast in our commitment to supporting the people of Ukraine. Your generosity has been the lifeline that allows us to bring hope, aid, and the love of Christ to communities deeply affected by the ongoing conflict. Now, more than ever, your end-of-year gift can make a transformative difference.

A Year of Challenge and Courage in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has brought immense hardship to countless families. Homes have been destroyed, communities displaced, and the fabric of everyday life irrevocably altered. Yet, amidst the turmoil, we've witnessed incredible courage and solidarity. Through your support, we've been able to:

  • Provide Emergency Relief: Distributing food, clean water, and essential supplies to families in crisis zones.
  • Offer Shelter and Warmth: Establishing temporary housing and delivering heating supplies to those facing harsh conditions.
  • Deliver Medical Aid: Supplying hospitals and clinics with vital medicines and equipment.
  • Support Displaced Children: Offering safe spaces, educational opportunities, and emotional support to children affected by the conflict.

 

The Impact of Your Generosity

None of this would be possible without the generous hearts of people like you. Your donations have not only funded projects but have transformed lives—bringing comfort to the weary, hope to the hopeless, and light to places shadowed by despair.

As the year draws to a close, we invite you to make a final impactful gift. The end of the year is a crucial time for us to gather resources that will sustain and expand our mission in the months ahead. By giving to Family of Christ International, you're investing in:

  • Tangible Impact: Every dollar goes directly towards initiatives that address immediate needs and create lasting change.
  • Community Growth: Your support strengthens communities, fostering environments where individuals can thrive spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
  • A Brighter Future: Contributions empower the next generation, providing them with opportunities to learn, grow, and lead.

 

Why Your Support for Ukraine Matters Now

The situation in Ukraine remains dire, with winter intensifying the hardships faced by many. Your end-of-year gift can bring immediate relief and lasting hope.

  • Meeting Urgent Needs: Winter brings additional hardships for many families. Your donation can provide warmth, food, and shelter during the harshest months.
  • Tax Benefits: Donations made before December 31st may be tax-deductible, offering you financial benefits as you contribute to a worthy cause.
  • Multiplying Impact: Many organizations offer matching gift programs during this season, potentially doubling the effect of your generosity.

Stories from the Heart of Ukraine

Consider the story of Iryna, a grandmother who, with your help, found refuge and hope after fleeing the turmoil in her hometown. Or Sacha, who, after fleeing his home due to the conflict, found purpose in helping others through our humanitarian efforts. And Andriy Ketsuk, a young soccer talent whose journey symbolizes hope and opportunity amidst adversity.

These are not just stories; they are real lives touched by the kindness of donors like you.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We are deeply thankful for your compassion and support. Together, we've brought relief to the suffering, hope to the hopeless, and shown the Ukrainian people that they are not forgotten.

As we close this year, let's reaffirm our commitment to stand with Ukraine. Your end-of-year gift can be a beacon of hope in a time of darkness.
