This week I want to focus on how fortunate we all have been. Above are just a few pics of the kids that we are directly helping, including my own kids, N and S. They are safe, warm and have food and water. Unfortunately, so many are not this fortunate this week. We miss these kids with all of our hearts and now, the only thing we can do is pray. Right now the sole focus is making sure these kids are safe. We are not focusing on hosting/adoption as Ukraine is not in the position or has the desire to discuss this.
So... this week we decided to focus on how we can help. With the help of so many people, we put together over 100 buddy bags (as Hunter calls them) to send to our kids (and so many others) in Ukraine. These bags included a variety of things - pop bracelets, nail polish, coloring books, crayons, playdoh, rubiks cubes, hard candy, gum and so many other things to bring them just a small amount of happiness during such a dark time.
Additionally, this week I was able to work with our organization, Force For Christ, to quickly create an Amazon Wish List. In less than 48 hours, all of us with the organization were able to get a number of items that are needed. And when I say a lot, we got A LOT! We sent 4,700 gauze pads, 6,000 Band Aids, 144+ tubes of tooth paste, 176 bars of Dove soap, 8,200 Tylenol caplets, and SO MUCH MORE! It has been so amazing! And, with the help of LOT airlines and so many donations, we were able to send 35 pieces of luggage filled with all of the supplies and the buddy bags. they arrived safely on Saturday, March 12.
