Where the Needy Get Help - Ukraine Crisis Story

A story of one Ukrainian family:

"Since March 11 my hometown has been occupied. It is almost destroyed. There are no hospitals, no drug stores, no supermarkets anymore. The school, where I have worked for 20 years, was bombed and destroyed. The ceiling from the second floor fell straight onto my working table. When I saw my classroom photo after the bombing, I cried for a long time.

However, life goes on. My family and I left my hometown. The Lord led us to safer location. Some kind people told us that there is a church in the city and the needy can get help there. We turned for help and we were accepted to a warm-hearted family. They have been helping us with everything: clothes, food, medicines, personal hygiene items. But most importantly, they have always listened to us and have given a good piece of advice. Our family is very thankful to the church. May God give you health, joy and happiness!"

They are supposed to fast completely—no water or food—during daylight hours from March 1–Mar 29. It begins with much fanfare, promises, and declarations, as fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that faithfully keeping the fast ensures one’s place of favor with God.
