There are many things to be grateful for at this time. A number of kids have made it out safely by way of busses to Italy. However, there are a number of children that still have not made it out. It is just too dangerous. There is so much information out there and it is difficult to distinguish what is true and what is false. Below are some of the kiddos that have safely made their way to Italy. There have been so many people helping contribute to get them out! Although this is not the organization that I work with, what is important is that these kids are safe.

My directors and organization have requested that all of us wait... patiently. I am not good at that. I have anxiety and this is making it go through the rough. Trying to control what I can and doing what I can to take my mind off things. Our organization asked us to wait. Why? Because when there are too many players in the field, things get harder than they need to be. This is completely understandable, especially when everything is being done through emails/texts/etc and across countries. We have not received an update since yesterday morning - only 24 hours. But it seems like so much has happened in 24 hours. One of the facilitators that has helped hundreds of kids and families over the last 10+ years has lost his life to protect Ukraine. So much loss, sadness and pain over the last 24 hours. 

Please consider helping - through prayer, financially (countless fundraisers listed below), emotionally, or sharing to keep this front and center. Many people have donated financially solely because they know me or I am a friend of a friend. People trust each other. So help me help these kids.
