Support Ukrainian Refugees in Romania
You can support Ukrainian Refugees in Romania for Thanksgiving!
With so many Ukrainian refugees living in Romania, families are still struggling with everyday needs. With your help, we can continue to support them.
February 2022, Russian troops crossed into Ukraine.
Bombs fell, people fled, and a full-scale invasion began. Women and children started to evacuate into nearby safe havens, photos hit international media, and the world wondered how to respond. Romania shares the largest border with Ukraine and immediately, many faithful Christ followers began to offer help.
Churches opened their doors
Churches stepped in for housing, and food packets and hygiene products were loaded in vans for convoys into Ukraine. Gospel pamphlets printed in Ukrainian began to be printed and distributed, and prayers for a quick ending to the war were offered.
But peace has not arrived. One refugee mother of a teen said, “We thought we were leaving for 4 months, but now it has been 14 months. My apartment building at home is destroyed and we are left with nothing. What is our future? “
Your generous gift this Thanksgiving will mean a food basket gets to a refugee family, a preschool for Ukrainian children can continue to have school supplies, or a growing child can receive clothes that fit.
Your generous donation can provide so much support!
"Hope for the Holidays" will provide food, wood for heating homes, and holiday gifts to the poorest families in Romania - the Roma (gypsies) and the Ukrainian refugees. Winter is especially hard and bleak for these impoverished families who are struggling to flee war and those who struggle to find a permanent home and employment. Providing food, heat and gifts will bring joy to the season for them. All items will be distributed at a holiday event that includes a gospel presentation.
Thank you
Thank you for understanding the complexity of moving from relief efforts to a challenging resettlement project. International Needs Romania’s leadership, staff, and network of churches will keep going to help and provide for the refugees. Your offering will make an incredible difference to those displaced by the trauma of war-torn Ukraine.
