Dear Friends, Thank you very much for your help. For those who are fleeing their city under fire, it is essential. Thank you to all who find it in their hearts to feel compassion for these poor Jews during this very difficult time. Your help will make it easier for them to get to Israel. Thank you. Among those we helped were three families with children, as well as two elderly women, one of whom is disabled.

Women with children hoped to leave later, along with their husbands. Their husbands are fighting in the war. But their hopes were dashed, families were torn apart. There is a double tragedy here. In Sumy and Kharkov, children are being forcibly evacuated. Children cannot stay in these cities. Therefore, your help is priceless.
With love, Igor, Tatiana.

[PS  I wanted to send the report on Monday, but since yesterday evening there has been heavy shelling of Zaporozhye and south-eastern Ukraine. They were finishing off the energy sector. I was afraid that the electricity and internet might be cut off, so I speeded up the report. Tatiana]
