Tough Month for Orphans

A Tough Month for Orphans

Each September many of the orphans that we have been working with for years begin the next phase in their life as an orphan in Eastern Europe. This is the month when many of them graduate from the orphanage and move on to Trade Schools. When we make the rounds to visit them at this time they all ask us for help with food to get them through the month. The reason is, when they leave the orphanage they are given a little less than $5 USD to survive on until their government stipend kicks in, which takes about 3 to 4 weeks. Many of them have not been taught to plan ahead, so often they spend their $5 right away.

We were able to help a few of them so far, but we have about 50 more that could use help. It costs about $25 to get them through the month. This is an urgent need! Would you please consider helping?

This is whats in the bag.

Karina is one of the girls that we were able to help so far. We hope we can help many more.

We are not yet a 501c so your donations will not be tax deductible.

UPDATE

The chip-in counter wasn't working due to an error i made when setting it up...i'm learning though! BUT...we had some donations come in that allowed us to purchase food for 35 children to help them through this next week. We are still praying for provision to help about 15 more children as well as purchase food again next week to help them all through another week. By then their government stipend will kick in and they should be fine.
