In Ukraine, the Mercedes van is more of a reliable workhorse than the luxury brand that it is here in the U.S. House mother Tonya said, “I wept for joy when I saw the vehicle… no one expected it to be so beautiful, with room for the whole family.

We need to purchase a larger van. Yes, safety is our biggest concern, but a larger van is necessary for other reasons. Currently, it takes two trips to get everyone to church.

Would you consider contributing even a small amount towards this need?
