An important update on our sites in Ukraine:
The economic ramifications of war hurt every family. The costs of basic needs, such as food and fuel, have increased dramatically in Ukraine as families deal with the fallout from Russia’s military invasion. The families and site staff need financial assistance to meet their immediate daily needs. That’s why we’re asking for your help.
This relief fund will support families and our Chalice colleagues in Ukraine with extra funds. This is in addition to the amounts they regularly receive from sponsorship funds or their salaries as staff members. These funds will meet urgent family needs, which include, but are not limited to, food, medication, transportation, home repair, and emergency shelter.
A generous private donor has agreed to match donations up to $500,000, doubling your impact.
About Chalice in Ukraine
Since 1998, Chalice supporters have opened their hearts to the people of Ukraine. We now support more than 4000 children there at three sites: Pochaiv, Lviv, and Ternopil. Our Pochaiv site, named after a miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary, is in the regions of Volyn and Ivano-Frankisvsk; the Ternopil and Lviv sponsor sites are named for the geographic regions they serve. All three are in the west of Ukraine but are still affected by Russia’s military action.
Though many of the attacks have focused on the eastern part of the country, there has been activity to the west, including attacks on airfields, towers, and military units. More are anticipated, and many residents are sheltering.
As the situation evolves, sites may identify other urgent needs that could be supported by this relief fund.
You can continue to provide relief support through our Ukraine Regional Assistance fund. Sponsors can also continue donating special money directly to their sponsored child and their family. Please call us at 1.855.444.5432 and we'll be happy to assist.
Please continue to pray for the people of Ukraine.
