Roman Needs a Sponsor

April 27th 2023
Father died fighting for Ukraine

Roman (age 6) is a lively, active, and kind boy who likes making new friends and dearly loves his mother, Olena, and older brother Maksym. Olena is a very loving and responsible mother.

Roman and his family occasionally attend church; through that, his father became a Christian. Roman's father, once a drug addict, overcame his addiction and repented in 2022. He was 40 years old at the time.

Then tragedy struck this family. When the war broke out, Roman's father was concerned about their safety and them to Poland while he, by law, had to remain behind. Six months later, he was conscripted into the army and was subsequently killed near the town of Bakhmut in November. Because they have not been able to locate and identify his body, he is officially considered "missing," which means the family doesn't have the right to receive financial state assistance at this time.

Olena and the children are having a hard time with the loss. They are all devastated emotionally and now financially as well. Olena is unemployed because she can't keeping a job due to her grief. Her depression worsens, she cries constantly, and every day searches for her husband's name on the list of 'prisoners of war.' She cannot accept his death.

Their financial situation is precarious as they rely on their father's army salary to pay rent and purchase food. They paid rent in advance for the following two months, but beyond that, they have no idea how they will survive.

Roman and his family desperately need help. A sponsor's commitment to supporting this family will help them stay afloat and show them how much God loves and cares for them. All it takes is one special sponsor to create lasting change in Roman's life and that of his family.
