April Update
PWRDF has announced that it is now working with a new partner - "Initiative E+". Money given to it will be used for Ukrainian civilians injured in the war, as well as Ukrainian military personnel.
Since February 24, at the beginning of the conflict, there has been an acute need for medical equipment and supplies to care for those who have been injured. This situation has gone up tenfold. The reality is, of those wounded, 75% are civilians.
By Friday, April 1, PWRDF has now received nearly $400,000 for humanitarian relief and aid for our Ukrainian sisters and brothers. In March, $100,000 was given to ACT Alliance, in partnership with Hungarian Interchurch Aid. Another $50,000 was further given to HelpAge Canada which is responding to seniors fleeing Ukraine to a safe haven in Moldova. In addition, PWRDF is pleased to announce that it is giving $62,000 for medical supplies to Initiative E+ who will be providing care to those in the Kyiv region as well as in Eastern Ukraine. The money will be used for the following:
- Medical equipment for those hospitals which are caring for many injured people
- Medicine for people in Eastern Ukraine as well as in Kyiv and in the surrounding areas
- Ukrainian first responders and military personnel who require PPE and medical supplies
Please continue to pray and to engage in almsgiving for the Ukrainian people in the name of Christ. We are His hands and His feet to care for others. May you be blessed to be a blessing to those in need.*
