WITH SO MANY ORPHANS IN THE WORLD
...Why focus on the children in Ukraine & Romania?
Children are facing life without love from parents, a life with an uncertain future. On some occasions, children are given to an orphanage immediately after being born.
Children make up half of all refugees from the war in Ukraine, according to UNICEF. More than 1.1 million children have arrived in Romania and surrounding countries.
In most cases orphans are abandoned by their own families due to lack of finances to support them, however, other reasons include alcoholism, abuse, crime illness, and poor health.
WE NEED TO STEP IN AND PROVIDE FOR THOSE THAT...
Can neither provide for, nor represent themselves!OUR STORY
As soon as the news came out about Russia invading Ukraine, Global Partners had this situation on our hearts. We knew there would be significant needs and, unfortunately, more orphans and widows in the area, so we wanted to help. We quickly found three groups with whom we could partner that were meeting needs of people in a horrible situation. One group was focused on special needs orphans and orphans in Ukraine. These orphans were unable to flee Ukraine, and many of them had special needs. One of the largest challenges they faced was getting supplies and medical related items where they were needed the most. A large network of drivers was formed to help move the supplies, once located, to the orphans, some of whom were living in dark and cold basements. I spoke with the leader of this effort, and he told me how thankful he was for the Ukrainian nurses that chose to stay and help meet the medical needs of the special needs orphans. Another group we support is near the border of Ukraine and Romania. This group locates the supplies needed in Ukraine and drives them across the border and delivers them where they are needed the most. They assist orphans, widows, and anyone in need. The final group assists people fleeing Ukraine. They have worked with groups of orphans evacuating Ukraine, as well as widows and anyone else fleeing. They offer a short term facility where people can stay for only a night or two and have a place to sleep, shower, eat, get a bag of toiletries, gas for their vehicles, and even have a Covid test is desired. The people using this facility have another destination in Europe where they will stay with family or friends. This group has another camp in the countryside that offers longer term housing for people fleeing Ukraine. This facility is used for people to have a place to live while they are trying to develop plans for what they will do with the current situation in Ukraine. Global Partners in Life is very thankful to say we have been able to find these partners that are loving people in the worst possible conditions.
