At only 11 and 13 years of age, Mykyta and Viktoriya have already experienced overwhelming tragedies. Their father passed away, and their mother abandoned them. Thankfully, they have each other and a loving grandmother who has been taking care of them since they lost their parents.

But they live in Ukraine, and, unfortunately, their lives continue to be disrupted as they face the repercussions of war. Svitlana strives to provide for her grandchildren to the best of her ability, but recently they were forced to suddenly evacuate their home, and had to leave many essential items behind.

Starting over has not been easy. Won’t you pray with us for God to provide the funds for Mykyta’s, Viktoriya’s and Svitlana’s basic necessities? They need such items as bedding, clothing, food, and hygiene products. Please ask the Lord to abundantly provide for this family as well as for other Ukrainian families facing similar difficulties.

Despite the heartbreaks they have faced, Mykyta and Viktoriya are very much like other kids their age—they are full of energy, like to ride their bikes, and socialize easily with others. They study well in school and help their grandmother with household chores. 

Svitlana wishes to see her grandchildren thrive in good health and in a safe area where they can enjoy being kids again. Your prayers could make a world of difference for this family and others like them. Let’s pray that God would equip war-torn families with essential resources to ensure that at-risk children remain together in safe and loving homes. Thank you!
