Comfort and Courage

On this Giving Tuesday, our hearts are pulled toward the place where peace is still a distant hope — Ukraine. 

While those of us in USA and UK wake up in warmth and safety, families in Ukraine continue to navigate air-raid sirens, loss, and uncertainty.

And yet, even in the midst of war, children and women still gather each day at Shoulder to Shoulder to learn, to laugh, and to hold onto a future they can believe in. Lena is holding a vision for them until they can see it for themselves.

- Their courage is humbling.

- Our comfort reminds us how much we have to be grateful for.

- And our giving reminds them that they are not forgotten.

This month, every dollar donated will be matched up to $10,000—doubling your impact for these women and children and the teachers who care for them. Your gift becomes books, warmth, lessons, stability, community, and a small patch of normal life in a world turned upside down.

If you’re feeling grateful for your own peace and comfort, we invite you to turn that gratitude into hope for someone who desperately needs it. Every dollar helps.
