  • Back in November-December 2022, you helped to move this family from Kyiv, Ukraine, to the USA through the Uniting for Ukraine program.
    My friend Daryna and her 2 kids, Olenka and Kyryll, are SAFE. And even though they miss their home, relatives and friends in Ukraine, they are very grateful for being in a safe place.
    Thank you, Megan, who hosted Daryna and her children. Thank you, my dear subscribers, who donated $10.000 and helped to get ready for the trip and buy them tickets to POland first and then to the USA.
    Daryna did not spend it all. She keeps a part of the donation for her return ticket. I hope it will happen soon.

    The USA is very blessed to have Ukrainians staying in our Country. I wish it was not to escape a horrible war. I think it would be so challenging to move to a different Country, especially if you are not familiar with the language. You definitely did the right thing for your children! You are a wonderful mother. Your friend Olena is a wonderful mother as well.! I wish you all could be American citizens as well as Ukrainian. I hope peace comes soon to Ukraine! 🙏

    A very compelling story about what Daryna and her children endured before coming to the U.S. Thanks for sharing the details of her story! I'm glad that we were able to help her come to the U.S. and no longer have to worry about shelling, missile attacks, and infrastructure outages. Now, Daryna and her children can live in peace and hopefully recover from their emotional trauma.

    So wonderfully spoken Daryna . Your story is so difficult to hear . Grateful that you were helped by many Americans to enable you to come here with your family . Glad you have experienced many events with your friend Olena & her family . Your children seem to have settled in nicely . All of you represent the continued need to support Ukraine . It’s difficult to imagine all those children still suffering in Ukraine as the assaults continue . Praying for the defeat of Russia & the safety of your husband Daryna . 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

I applaud your host family here in Pennsylvania, and hope you are being treated kindly by Americans in general to feel welcome here. I am also happy to have briefly met all of you in Washington on your visit there. May you be able to return home as soon as possible. Slava Ukaini!

    I just want to mention a utube channel Katia, her brother and little sister, and your son and daughter might enjoy seeing … Gaitlyn Rae. She is a 10 yr old capuchin monkey who lives in North Carolina. She lives on a farm with her family, and lots of animals. She brings laughter and I think the children will love seeing her!!

    Lo, what _beautiful cute children!_ - Gift of promise with them, seems evident. - Glad to see they are out of harms-way. (When RuZZians are near, Destruction torments the surviving, Death stalks the barely living!) ~ So sorry, that you and yours, among so many other Ukrainian-families, including Olene's, have had to experience this Age-old distressing calamity (some tragically, no more), - monstrous WAR, scourge of mankind since ancient Mesopotamian Sumer (your bright boy probably knows...). Yea, even centuries earlier.
    ▬ My admiration for Poland cannot match that land's breadth of "charity", in biblical-sense. People once so shattered, nation barbarically mauled, and violence-stricken, crucible-nightmare passage, WW-II years. I suppose it is from that generational-memory, such sacrificial-depth of compassion been shown, through generous open arms towards Ukrainians in flight, with brotherly _love-embraced,_ from storm's awful night.
    Muscovy Empire, malevolent-darkness imprisoned.
    Such mercy evident, surely sees the Mighty God of Eternity. Whether it springs from an entire nation, or trickles from kind-hearted person,_ or several united souls generous, for common supportive good, life-changing outgoing-flow.
    And the Judge of Heaven, likewise, all the brutal merciless-acts against the defenseless, helpless and innocent, endless atrocities - elderly, families and children, - _He also witnesses,_ the abused-living and pitiless-slain! Certainly He must take note, for PUNISHMENT of future-day, time-measured sure: Judgement fallen! ~ History and Bible tell.
    But the wicked sold to evil, like the murderers that stalk-Ukrainians, pay no heed. Until the recompense-day of visitation, their people will also-bleed. - With that _lesson,_ the Federation has its terrible rendezvous. - Land of Moscow, especially!
    ▬ Sober-note, pains me to make: America under atrocious malign-leadership, has become a _dangerous-place, both for the vulnerable-body - and for the unguarded-mind._ So to both-families, _take daily-care in life._ Keep your guard-UP. Watch the young-ones like a circling-hawk, - or attentive mother owl.
    And please monitor _what they are _being taught._ ATROCIOUS insidious, vile wickedness contaminates O-Biden's overseen Public "Education" system, rated one of the WORST in the World! Perhaps of this shocking fact, one or both are in the dark. Better to be informed-armed (like your men), vigilant-alert, than blissful ignorant-defenseless. "Education, penetrating to ALL-levels, more and more Inclined to _hideous Marxist-indoctrination,_ with all its _abominable distortions, of _lying_ contortions. Like viral-infection, it creeps and spreads into schools, casual-parents hardly aware.
    To like communist bile, Ukraine is no stranger, oppressive Soviet Union years force-fed mind-numbing propaganda.
    Its so shameful to say, but places _in Ukraine,_ for the body, may almost be safer than places here in America. And of precious young minds, - so bright with promise, - parents here in Demolition Biden's Amerika, must diligently and _watchfully DEFEND their pure-hearts,_ from smiling devils bent on insidiously _corrupting_-them. - THAT too, the God of Light _will PUNISH!_
    They must be defended - _Ukrainian-style!_
    Victory for Ukraine! ~ In your Home may PEACE come-to-reign. 🟦🔱🟨
    If not in this dying Age, it WILL in the coming Dawn of Promised Age of God!
    Then all families on Earth will live in prosperous happy PEACE, inviolate. The impossible human-dream,
    finally come true in "Paradise Regained".
    No more convulsions of sorrow, soul-rending inconsolable-weeping, or heart-torn lamentations of woe. But joy-filled singing in the Kingdom of God, under the _"Father of lights",_ in Presence of His Son, _Christ the King!_ - Eden Earth then, under his Love-held sceptered "rod of iron".
    The bestial Putin's of this Age of Man, will then NO LONGER darken Earth's beautified-lands. Only tragic dark-chapters in history books-cast, tyrants clothed in infamy, young boys and girls like yours inform-read, in safe-enlightening teaching-class.
    _Wish your precious family All-the-Best._ 🌱👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🌿
