Help mums like Maria keep their family warm and safe
Maria and her family had to flee their home because of the conflict in Ukraine.
They were welcomed into their new village and found a place to live, but as temperatures dropped, Maria knew they wouldn’t be able to stay warm without help.
Winter in Ukraine can be as cold as -20C - the situation looked bleak. “We realised we wouldn’t be able to afford firewood,” said Maria.
A lifeline for the winter
Our local Church partner gave Maria and her family the help they needed – firewood.
They could heat their home, cook hot meals and keep warm through the freezing temperatures.
"When the firewood arrived, it was like a playground for the little ones. Our emotions were off the scale because we knew it was our lifeline in winter."
Together, we can support families with the practical help they need
It's not just families in Ukraine that face uncertain futures. Around the world, long-lasting emergencies are making it harder for families to survive.
A gift from you today will make such a big difference.
