“Family to Family” provides respite for Ukraine’s displaced children and orphans
Article by: Lisa Spencer

“From Family to Family” is a program that supports Ukraine’s war zone refugees as they adapt to sudden, major life changes and look for new jobs or homes.

Similar in some aspects to a student cultural exchange program, this Global Christian Support outreach connects families across cultures and circumstances. Children and orphans from Ukraine’s war zone who are between the ages of 9 and 17 are matched with safe loving homes abroad and within Ukraine for short-term respite comfort and care. Parents and caregivers have the focused opportunity to look for new housing and employment, and the receiving families have the opportunity to reach out and make a concrete uplifting difference for innocent young victims, thus enriching their own lives as well.

“From Family to Family” is still accepting applications and donations. The receiving families are responsible for all finances to care for the children in their care; monies are also needed for the Visas and paperwork processing as well as airfare/transportation.

    February 15 – Illegal armed groups have fired at the positions of ATO forces over 60 times, – informed ATO's press center. "The sources provided information that the militants plan to invade Debaltseve from the towns of Horlivka and Vuhlehirsk. They were ordered to provoke Ukrainian military and disrupt peace agreements. To do this, the militants use practically all kinds of weapons. The enemy does not adhere to peace agreements and every day is trying to take over as many of our territories as possible". Moreover, the terrorists are deliberately firing at towns and villages where there are no ATO positions. For instance at 8:25 am and 3:10 pm the terrorists shelled Donetsk with mortars.

    February 15 – Russia is attempting to carry out a resolution in the U.N. Security Council which will change the "Minsk Agreement" – reported AV Press journalist Andriy Vasylliev. According to him, RF is trying to place all the responsibility for the peace process solely on Ukraine. Also the Russian version of the resolution demands that Ukraine first after the ceasefire moves its troops by 50 kilometers. Also Moscow wants to fully relent an any promises made in Minsk and demands the right to deliver to Ukraine so-called humanitarian convoys. "However, members of the Security Council all know what is involved in these "humanitarian convoys." Of course, the text in the Russian variant will not pass," noted the journalist.

    P.S.: Please spread this appeal as much as possible.
