Children in Ukraine are still living with fear, loss, and the trauma of war
Will you help prepare, establish, and support the next Hope House? Every dollar you give will be doubled until December 31, 2026.
The war in Ukraine is as devastating as it’s ever been. Missiles and drones are still falling. Children are still being pulled from danger, living in shelters, and need the safety & belonging of a family. Right now, we only have space for one more child
Since the war began, your support has helped evacuate and care for more than 5,000 children from orphanages and boarding schools in some of the most dangerous areas of Ukraine. Many have been reunited with extended family members, and babies and toddlers have been placed in individual foster homes.
But other orphaned and vulnerable children, especially those with special needs, have remained in institutional care, waiting for the safety and belonging of a family.
Ivan is one of those children.
Ivan is 10 years old. He lost his mother, his grandparents, and then his father to the war. Almost half of his life has now been spent in an orphanage.
Because you and others have continued to care, in just a few days he’ll leave the orphanage and walk through the door of a loving family waiting for him.
There will be a bedroom for him. A place at the dinner table. A family who knows his name, notices when he’s afraid, and knows what makes him laugh… and most importantly, will still be there tomorrow.
For a young boy who has experienced so much loss, having a family means everything.
And after Ivan arrives, there will be only one more bed left in this Hope House for another child.
But more children are waiting.
You have already helped make such a difference for children in Ukraine. Now, I hope you’ll help us make the next Hope House possible, another home where up to 10 more children can leave institutional care and become part of a family.
Together, we can raise $300,000 to open and support the next Hope House, giving up to 10 more children the chance to leave institutional care and become part of a family.
And right now, your gift can go twice as far.
Every gift received will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000, through December 31st. Your gift of $50 becomes $100. Your gift of $250 becomes $500. That means your gift can do twice as much to help us prepare the next safe, loving home.
Would you make a year-end gift today and help another child leave institutional care for the safety, stability, and love of a family?
Your ongoing support has already helped children experience the safety and belonging of family. Now, you can help make room for the next child: the next bedroom, the next place at the dinner table, and the next family ready to say, “You belong here.”
Thank you for continuing to stand with these children. I’m very grateful for your partnership, and for all you’re helping make possible.
