Since the Ukraine war began in February 2022, Rock of Salvation  Church in Uzhhorod, led by Edik and Liana Malyshev, has been a  refuge for hundreds of families fleeing the bombs. They provide  food, shelter, and hope to those who have lost everything. 

Thanks to the generosity of donors, in recent months they were able  to: 

• House 7-12 refugee families in hotels. 

• Serve hot meals to 60-70 people at a time. 

• Deliver hundreds of food parcels and aid boxes. 

But as Edik and Liana told us:

“We try to cover the most basic needs and avoid upsetting people who are refused while others receive  help. With increased bombing in large cities, more refugees are arriving in Uzhhorod, and they also come  to the church because they hear there is help here. Ideally, €3,500–€4,000 per month would allow us to  meet the needs.” Right now, funds have dropped to around €2,000/month. That means cutting back meals and housing  support, at the very moment more refugees are arriving and winter is approaching.

Your gift will provide: • A safe place to stay for families with nowhere else to go. 

• Hot meals for children and adults who have gone hungry. 
• Food parcels for those arriving with nothing but a bag.

In UK pounds, we have worked out…

£4 pays for a hot meal for 1

£52 pays for a family room for 1 month
