My wife, Kasia, lives in the United States but longs to be in Poland helping her people care for the Ukrainian Refugees, especially the orphans. At least 130 orphans have arrived in her home town of Bielsko-Biala with only a backpack and are in dire need of aid. More are coming. There are also a host of Ukrainian mother's who have fled with their children and are now living in the area near Bielsko-Biala.

Kasia's mom is sewing 130 hygiene bags as well as donating items and money (see pictures/video at https://www.facebook.com/UkraineOrphanFund/). Her brother is already supporting a Ukrainian family and is working closely with Caritas Orphanage in Bielsko-Zywiec to fund bunk beds for these kids. The Polish response has been incredible, but we need more help to comfort these terrified orphans, mothers, and their children. Each bunk and mattress costs 1,500 zloty (about $350 USD). Other needs continue to increase and include food, diapers, clothing, and medicine, supplies, etc. The need is ever greater than what we're trying to raise. Every donation is appreciated and will be forwarded soon to those in need.
Please "comfort those who stand in need of comfort" and provide a place to sleep and other necessities for these displaced orphans and fleeing mothers and their children by supporting this GoFundMe campaign. We are forwarding these donations directly to supervised foundations at the lowest level possible to make the greatest impact for these refugees.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and love for these people.
For those who would prefer to donate directly to a Polish Bank Account (international wire fee from your financial institution may apply) at this orphanage ("Okno Zycia" - "Window of Life") or for these Ukrainian families ("Na Pomoc Ukraine - Dla Matek z Dziecmi" - "Helping Ukraine - For Mother's with Children"), please email us at [email redacted] for more information.
Linda K. Burton:
"As we consider the 'pressing calls' of those who need our help, let’s ask ourselves, 'What if their story were my story?' May we then seek inspiration, act on impressions we receive, and reach out in unity to help those in need as we are able and inspired to do so."
Mother Teresa:
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
