Update #1
March 2, 2022, 11:58 am
Firstly, I cannot thank you enough for being part in this trip. Your donations will go far, just follow along with the updates to see how.
After only a bus ride, subway, bus ride, plane, plane, uber, uber, train and car ride...I have finally reached the town where my parents and other missionaries are stationed. A lot of what is to come will be played by ear but for the most part, the Romanian side of humanitarian aid is well organized. Tomorrow my brother and I are going to purchase some requested supplies: 100L of cooking oil, UHT milk and diapers. We are loading up a small convoy of 3 or so trucks and I will be heading to Ukraine on Friday. The current plan is to return by Friday night and prepare the next convoy run for Saturday. The two areas I have been told supplies are being dropped off are just across the border and then about 40km into the country where another convoy picks up the supplies and further distributes. I will be adding photos of my parent\'s home where we will work out of and the barn that we will begin to renovate to house refugees in the near future (once I sort out a technical issue).
Some updates on the war (as of March 2nd)
-Russians continue shelling Ukrainian cities
-First talk between Ukraine and Russia yesterday was no good, second round of talks should be up and coming
-136 Civilians killed so far, 13 of those are children
-Long lineups at different borders, chaos at Ukrainian train stations
-Many apartments have been bombed, tanks have targeted various civilian buildings
Thank you for your continued support and prayers! If you can, please share this campaign with others as every dollar raised is going towards supplies on the frontlines! Be blessed!
