UPDATE!  After spending 10 days in Kyiv I have identified two organizations that are doing some great work helping civilians rebuild their lives in the midst of war.  Please consider contributing to their efforts!

Original past:  Ukraine was invaded by Russia in February, 2022. I had the privilege of joining a small group of family members working with refugees on the border in Przemysl, Poland a few weeks later. I cannot fathom the pain and suffering of the civilians caught in the middle of this conflict. 

I am traveling to Kyiv to explore ways that we can contribute to the relief and rebuilding efforts ongoing in Ukraine. I am spending my own money on this trip, but would love to raise additional funds from our larger community that I can donate to local organizations to help in the recovery. I consider you all partners in this effort, and hope that we can make a difference in the lives of Ukrainians displaced by this war.
