 It has been almost 2 weeks since I last post. I can´t believe how much time has passed. I can´t believe how long this has been going on. Russia invaded Ukraine February 24 I believe. This means that my kiddos, along with countless other orphans, have been living basically on the run. They have been surviving on funds we send to them. The Ukrainian government stopped sending monetary funds to the orphanages a few weeks ago. This may be normal (as all available funds are going to the war); however, this makes it even more difficult. These orphans are children. They are not attending school. They are living in make shift shelters. They are running to the basements almost daily due to being bombed. Here are a few of the texts that I have received from our director over the last two weeks (from contacts in Ukraine):

• We were bombed. The missile just flew over our house and hit across the road.
• 10,000 Ukrainian orphans unaccounted for.

The longer it goes on, the more people are likely to forget. We have started sending people over to help with the relief efforts. I have been asked and I want to help. However, I recently tested positive for COVID and Strep (yep, at the same time). I need to make sure my health is at its best before making any final decisions.

On a good note, I did hear back from my kid's orphanage director. She sent me some pictures of N, Y and S. These kids are so amazing. They have been dealt such a horrible hand in life. None of the choices that they have made have caused them to be where they are at right now. With each passing day, I wonder Will I see them again? Will I hug them again? Do they know how much they are loved and missed?
