Lawn Mower Arrives in Ukraine for Korostyshiv Orphanage
Orphan Grain Train Norfolk’s shipment to Bible Orphan Ministry arrived in Ukraine this week. Alla Vasilieva of Bible Orphan Ministry shared these photos and story:
“These days, our hearts are filled with joy and sincere gratitude! We are thrilled and delighted to share some wonderful news—the Korostyshiv orphanage has finally received its long-awaited lawn mower!!! For some, it is just a piece of equipment, but for them, it is a manifestation of love, care, and support that they feel in their hearts.
This is more than just aid. It is a sign that these children have not been forgotten, that thousands of kilometers away there are people who care and who are reaching out to help when it is most needed.
We sincerely thank Orphan Grain Train for another container of aid, for their loyalty, constant support, and big, compassionate hearts.
Special thanks to Kirk Rosin Kirk and Judy Rosin from North Dakota, USA who became part of this generous donation, investing not only his time and effort, but also his love and big heart!
Thanks to you, this lawn mower has reached Ukraine and will serve our children who will learn how to use it!
Thank you for your warmth, generosity, and care for Ukrainian children. Even thousands of kilometers away, we feel your heart close to us.
May God bless you a hundredfold for every good deed, every step towards us, and every seed of hope you have sown.
