They need underwear, socks, and feminine hygiene products. We have contracted with suppliers in Ukraine to provide these at a discounted price. We need to raise only $1000. If you can help with a tax deductible donation, you can do so at the above Paypal link, designated to the Orphaned Refugee Project, or send a check to Grace to Ukraine at P.O.

We mourn with them over the loss of lives in their community and cherish this opportunity to minister to those wounded yet alive.
