Help Us Bring Hope: Support Ukrainian Refugee Resettlement
Quick edit, the family will arrive April 17, 2024
In the spirit of compassion and community, we’re reaching out to you, with an urgent appeal to support our efforts in bringing relief to Ukrainian refugees, fleeing the horrors of war. We, as parishioners at St. Francis de Sales, St. Paul’s, and Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church in Akron, have initiated a Welcome Circle, partnering with the USCCB, to aid in the resettlement of this Ukrainian family desperately seeking refuge.The family we are sponsoring, (that is their photo)who have been greatly affected by the ongoing turmoil, see and hear the Shahed attack drones and had to relocate to a village. In their own words,
“ There is severe economic distress and bombs and missiles, flying over the city of Ternopil, and a lack of security and jobs and our children in need of comfort, due to fear of missiles exploding, and the lack of hope for the future.”
This family is expected to arrive in Spring of 2024 via the US Government UNITING FOR UKRAINE program and our Welcome Circle.
All they will bring is what fits in their suitcases.
Our ambitious goal is to make them self-sufficient within 6-24 months.
However, this mission comes with financial challenges, and we are reaching out to the generosity of the community for support. We estimate the first year of resettlement will incur costs totaling $50,000. Your contribution, no matter the amount, will directly impact the lives of these refugees and help us provide them with a fresh start. We do not keep one penny, all donations are for this family.
How You Can Help:
Donate what you can. Every dollar makes a difference.
Share: Spread the word by sharing our GoFundMe link on your social networks. Your network’s collective support can amplify our impact.
We’ve already made strides in collecting some furnishings for their household, but there’s still much to be done. Food, appliances, clothing, rent, car and maintenance, electric, gasoline, phones, internet, insurance, heat, personal hygiene, education supplies, etc. Your support will enable us to provide a safe haven and opportunities for a better future for this deserving family.
Thank you for considering our cause. Please pray for our fundraiser as we pray for all contributors. Together, we can make a lasting impact and bring hope.
