Thank you so much to every single person who gave a gift to these kids from Ukraine!
WE MADE IT! We - thanks to YOU - reached our campaign goal, and then some! 🙌
And thanks to you the camp is off to a beautiful start.
Here are some pictures I took today 📸 enjoy!

Dear Friends,
Tomorrow is Independence Day for Americans 🇺🇸 Let's remember all our heroes and celebrate the blessings of liberty, and also try to remember all our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who do not enjoy such freedom.
Living and traveling abroad, I've learned that Americans have the reputation of being the most generous people on the planet 🤲🏼 And I think that is totally true.
So I'd like to thank each of you this 4th of July for your generous hearts and hands, as you fuel the wonderful work we do here.
July 4th is also the feast day of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. We just got back from a pilgrimage to his home in Italy 🇮🇹 with our summer students (an amazing pilgrimage indeed!).
Pier Giorgio is known for the mantra "Verso L'Alto!" / "To the Heights!"
So as we are just days away from our Ukrainian Kids Camp kick-off 🇺🇦 let's keep spreading the word and get all the way to the top! ⛰️
Verso L'Alto!

I'd like to give a BIG THANK YOU to each of our volunteers who are giving of themselves this summer to come to Poland to try and make a difference in the lives of Ukrainian children. It is going to require a lot of their time, and even more of their energy! 😊
To help with the financial support, each of our volunteers is heading-up their own campaign efforts to reach out to their family, friends and broader communities to invite more people into this mission.
So please join me in encouraging John, Melanie, Laura, Victoria, Katherine, Eamon, Katherine, Stephen, Mason, Grace, Guadalupe, Diana, Natalie, Mary, Sophia, Elizabeth, Veronica and Noah!
Way to go team! 🙌
