Update #2
March 3, 2022, 6:51 pm
Today, March 3rd I was able to procure a number of various supplies that are in demand on the Ukrainian side of the border. My brother and I bought as much cooking oil, powdered/shelf stable milk, almond milk for the kiddos that can\'t consume dairy and diapers as the budget permitted. We dropped our supplies off with an organization my parents partnered with specifically for Ukraine called @Philiipi.Vision.
We will be boxing up our supplies along with a large number of other supplies people have donated from Romania and other European countries to PhilippiVision (non-perishables and medicine) tomorrow at 4pm. I was told the one thing we are not to bring over the border is clothing as there seem to be plenty available at this time.
We will be departing our little storeroom facility at 10pm in a 7-8 vehicle convoy and make our way to the border (7-8h drive) to make it for the border crossing opening at 7am. From there we go about 50km inland to the site of another organization that will distribute the supplies based on the needs they know people have in those areas. We will then pick up a number of refugees, go through the border crossing process (which can go from 30 mins to many hours depending on people\'s paperwork) and drive back down to Alba where they will be housed.
This is the 2nd run PhilippiVision will have done and my first. It will be about a 48h sleepless endeavour with many many miles of road to cover and a Ton of variables that can stand in the way of a successful mission.
Please pray for rest, focus and wisdom for our team heading up and that we will have no troubles at the border. Thank you to everyone who is following along...your donations are single-handedly making this happen. I am so grateful to be in this with all of you. Be blessed!
Victor
