“The situation in Ukraine is very unstable and fragile.” reports a FAME partner to Ukraine. Can you consider helping FAME replenish our Emergency Fund because we just sent help to Ukraine? FAME attempts to keep an Emergency Fund ready for a swift response, and then keep it replenished. Without delving into the political elements of the Ukrainian situation, let me tell you about this partner, and then what they are doing.
This Ukraine partner has 20 points of contact in West Ukraine and 19 points of contact in East Ukraine. These points of contact are the people who are caring for and treating some of the most vulnerable, especially the elderly in Ukraine. Here in the US, we don’t realize the abandonment that occurs in many countries for the elderly, this FAME partner brings help and hope daily.
Here’s the situation they explained: The concern is that if an invasion occurs water, heat, electricity, internet, phone will be lost as well as access to funds in the bank. Most people in Ukraine do not own their own vehicles, so public transportation (trains, buses, flights, etc.) might also be impacted. Those in their care really have no choice at all but to stay put so most of the 39 workers are inclined to stay right where they are. Please pray for their protection.
The Emergency Funds FAME just transferred is to cover an immediate shipment to every one of these 39 Health Care workers – they report that their shipping company seems to be able to deliver in just about any situation but they needed to move quickly! FAME must stand with them as they courageously serve in the midst of hardship. Their stateside contact shared, “I do not want them to feel abandoned or that we don’t care about them in such a desperate time. God knows all of this, He sees and knows every one of our team, our pastors and churches, and our precious elderly and disabled. He will not leave them, He will not abandon them.”
