We are almost two years into the war in Ukraine, and the situation on the ground for civilians is getting worse...

In the past few weeks, Russian attacks have increased significantly, including what CNN called "the heaviest night of missile strikes since the war began." A recent air strike on Kyiv killed 33 civilians while destroying 100 homes and dozens of apartment buildings.

I never imagined Mercy Chefs would still be on the ground in Ukraine nearly two years after the fighting began. But we are here, and thousands of families caught in the crossfire of this war rely on Mercy Chefs for meals to help them make it through another day.

We can't walk away from these folks who have already suffered so much.

As I've been sharing with you this week, our main transport truck that delivers hot meals to families living near the frontlines urgently needs repairs. In all, we need about $25,000 above and beyond our normal Ukraine support to make sure our team is fully operational.

I really want to meet this need by the end of the weekend...

Would you prayerfully consider making a one-time gift of $50 or even $100 so we can equip our team and keep this lifeline of hot meals and hope going? Go here to make your special Ukraine relief gift:

It's snowing across much of Ukraine. Temperatures will be below freezing for the next several days. And the attacks are increasing.

Quite frankly, we never asked for this mission. But we are here. Mercy Chefs has provided millions of meals. Our kitchen is feeding families on the frontlines of this war. 

We can't stop. But we need YOUR help!

Thanks in advance, and God bless,

Gary
