A simple thing - and oh so helpful!

One of my resolutions is to try and help causes that are near and dear to my heart by sharing information to others - and help spread the word!

My cause this month is Ukraine Orphan Outreach. Two of the families who have founded the group are from our CH Angels group. Both have adopted children from Ukraine. Heidi and Felix just returned at Christmas with not one but THREE wonderful older children from Ukraine! (Their blog is listed on the right as well)

Ukraine Orphan Outreach (UOO) is raising money to bring a group of older children from Ukraine to Colorado this summer to spend time with families and enjoy life away from the orphanage. This group is a lot different from others, as they don't focus on daily needs of the children, but LIFE needs. It is fairly easy to donate money to a group to help purchase clothing and food - but it is another to help a group truly change the life of a child for the better! These children have no families to call their own. Spending a few weeks during the summer in a family setting, creating bonds, sharing family life, and truly knowing that they are loved and cared about is life changing and makes an amazing difference to these kids. Some that are brought over actually find their forever family here - others are given the chance to have such wonderful experiences that we take for granted daily!

The approximate cost to bring a child to the US on this type of trip is $2500... there is alot of paperwork that goes on behind the scenes, which takes months of hard work, all done by volunteers... please consider making a donation to help!

Please visit the UOO website by clicking here. It is easy to donate and you can go back and check the website in the summer to see the kids that were helped by your donation in pictures!
