    Over the past two years, our team poured our hearts into three impactful humanitarian missions in Ukraine.

    We journeyed through perilous terrain, braving air attacks and treacherous roads, to deliver aid to over 700 families in remote villages near the frontline.

    We brought comfort to orphanages, provided essential supplies to women, and brought smiles to children with toys. Amidst the heartbreak and joy, our resolve remains unwavering.

    Yes, we will do it again. Yes, we will continue to risk our lives for strangers in need. The innocent souls in Ukraine depend on us, on you.

    Could you kindly share or forward our Give-a-Little page with those who echo our compassion?

    A heartfelt thank you to everyone who generously contributed to this vital mission!

    Your kindness has profoundly impacted the lives of over 400 families across seven villages. Amidst navigating challenging roads and narrowly avoiding air attacks, we journeyed nearly 3000km.

    We witnessed the devastation of poverty and felt the raw emotions of those we met—sharing tears and laughter alike. Our hearts were both shattered and uplifted. With your unwavering support, we provided essential food, hygiene products for women, and medicine to hospitals just 10km from the front lines.

    Your compassion has brought hope to those enduring unimaginable hardships during this devastating war. Thank you for making a tangible difference!

  • Supplies to the villages

    We're continually reminded of the abundance we have in New Zealand, which makes the stark contrast with the scarcity in these communities deeply distressing. Visiting seven villages to deliver essential supplies to 400 families stirred a mix of emotions; it was both heartwarming and gut-wrenching to hear their stories and try to fathom the tragedies they've faced. Their gratitude for our help was evident, making it tough to leave knowing they still needed more support. The heartfelt plea of one woman, "Don’t forget us, don’t forget us, please come back!" stayed with us long after we departed. Reflecting on our visit last year, we're still amazed by the incredible hospitality shown to us. Despite their own struggles, they shared what little they had with us without hesitation, ensuring we never went hungry. We shared many hugs and witnessed tears of deep gratitude, reminding us of the privilege we felt to be part of this team and to have the chance to help these remarkable individuals.

    Such a privilege to meet, share, hug and encourage each other. I believe there will be more in the future to these friendships.
