Support Needed...

Jeremiah's Hope is seeking support in the amount of $500 a month for the abandoned babies of Ivankiv. These funds will be used to purchase diapers, baby wipes and formula on a weekly basis for the hospital. Additionally, a portion of the monthly support will be used to pay a local Christian to work part time (two or three half days each week) with the babies.

If you are interested in fully or partially meeting this need, please contact Andrew at akellyukraine@gmail.com

Special Thanks...

We want to say thank you to two different groups who have helped us tremendously with meeting the needs of the babies. This past week, Jeremiah's Hope has shipped about 300 pounds of stuff to Ukraine to help meet the needs of these babies who have been abandoned by their families.

The children from the Monterrey Church of Christ (Lubbock, Texas) donated 5 huge rubbermaid boxes full of toys, rattles, manual breast pumps, diapers and much more. What made this gift extra unique was that the children took up a special contribution and personally went shopping during a Wednesday night Bible class to buy the items.

Second, we received a donation from Global Samaritan Resources (Abilene, Texas) of some surplus government supplies. We were able to ship 144 baby bottles (72 nine ounce bottles and 72 four ounce bottles) and several cases of baby wipes.

THANK YOU for these gifts!!!
