Operation Christmas Cheer

CHRISTMAS CHEER 2014
WE ARE getting closer!!!

Last year, if you remember, we helped Life2Orphans hold a fundraiser to spread Christmas Cheer to orphans in Ukraine.  That project worked SO well, and all of the orphanages had awesome Christmas parties!!

This year, the need is even greater.  With the war and unrest going on in Ukraine, more than ever, these kids need this little bit of childhood just for themselves’?  You’ll remember that we recently helped with a fundraiser to buy beds for orphans in the Druzhkovka orphanage.  These kids are really in desperate need, and this will bring a little bit of sunshine to their winter.

If you’re new here, let me tell you a little bit about Life2Orphans:  Life2Orphans works with orphanages in Ukraine improving the quality of lives for the children there.

In the “Christmas Cheer 2014” program, YOU have the chance to spread Christmas not just to one child, but to an ENTIRE ORPHANAGE!!  How amazingly awesome is that?

“Operation Christmas Cheer 2014” is a project that will help provide Christmas to over 4762+ orphans and refugees in 37 orphanages…  throughout Ukraine who otherwise will not get to celebrate Christmas due to lack of funding. The children/refugees will be blessed with a Christmas gift and a party with wonderful food and a Christmas program celebrating Christmas/New Year. A great project for your Church, Sunday school, Friend, Office, Family…
