The Power of Monthly Giving: Sustain the Hope in Ukraine

At Family of Christ International, our mission is rooted in delivering help, hope, and healing to those devastated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, particularly widows, orphans, and displaced families. Since 2012, we’ve grown from a small group of volunteers in Uzhhorod, Ukraine, into an international humanitarian hub, driven by faith and supported by compassionate donors like you. The war in Ukraine continues to displace millions, leaving families without homes, food, or security. Your recurring monthly donation provides the consistent support needed to make a lasting impact, ensuring aid reaches those who need it most, year-round.

The Growing Need in Ukraine

The conflict in Ukraine, intensified by Russian shelling and events like the Nova Kakhovka Dam bombing, has created a humanitarian crisis that shows no signs of abating. According to the United Nations, over 14 million people in Ukraine require humanitarian assistance in 2025, with millions displaced internally or as refugees. Families face daily struggles to secure basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. Orphanages are stretched thin, and frontline communities endure constant threats.

At Family of Christ International, we work tirelessly to address these needs, distributing aid to families, orphanages, churches, and rehabilitation centers. But this work requires sustained resources, which is where monthly giving becomes transformative.

Why Monthly Giving Matters

Unlike one-time donations, monthly giving provides a reliable foundation for our humanitarian efforts. This consistency allows us to plan effectively, respond swiftly, and maximize the impact of every dollar. Here’s why monthly donations are so powerful:

• Consistency: Your monthly gift ensures a steady supply of essentials like food, hygiene kits, and medical supplies. This reliability means families in Ukraine can count on help, even as seasons change or crises persist.

• Efficiency: Recurring donations streamline our operations by reducing fundraising and administrative costs. This means a higher percentage of your gift goes directly to those in need, making every contribution more impactful.

• Long-Term Impact: Small, regular contributions accumulate over time, creating significant change. For example, just $50 a month can provide weekly food supplies for 10 families, offering stability to those facing uncertainty.

• Flexibility: Monthly giving allows us to adapt to evolving needs, whether it’s providing winter clothing, supporting educational programs in orphanages, or delivering aid to newly displaced families.

By becoming a monthly donor, you join a community of supporters who are committed to sustaining hope in Ukraine, reflecting the steadfast love of Jesus Christ through action.

A Story of Hope: Iryna’s Journey

Meet Iryna, a young mother from Bakhmut, Ukraine, whose life was upended by the conflict. When her home was destroyed by shelling, Iryna fled with her two young children, carrying only what they could fit in a small bag. They found refuge in a temporary shelter, but with no income and limited resources, Iryna struggled to provide food and warmth for her family. “I felt helpless,” she shared. “I didn’t know how we would survive.”

Thanks to monthly donors like you, Family of Christ International stepped in to help. We provided Iryna’s family with food packages, warm clothing, and essential supplies, offering them stability during a time of chaos. Beyond material aid, our team connected Iryna with a local church community, where she found emotional and spiritual support. “Your kindness showed us we are not alone,” Iryna said. “God’s love shines through your support, and it gave us hope to keep going.” Iryna’s story is just one of many made possible by the reliability of monthly giving, which ensures we can respond to urgent needs whenever they arise.

The Bigger Picture: A Global Mission

Since our founding in 2012, Family of Christ International has grown into a global effort, supported by community leaders, churches, corporate sponsors, and donors worldwide. Our work extends beyond immediate aid to share the love of Christ through compassionate service, as inspired by James 1:27: to care for widows and orphans in their distress. In 2024 alone, we reached countless families, orphanages, and frontline communities, delivering tons of humanitarian supplies and fostering hope in the darkest moments.

Monthly giving is the backbone of this mission. It enables us to:

• Scale Our Efforts: Reach more displaced families and vulnerable groups across Ukraine.

• Build Partnerships: Strengthen relationships with local churches and organizations to distribute aid effectively.

• Plan for the Future: Invest in long-term solutions, such as educational support for children or rehabilitation programs for those traumatized by war.

The conflict’s unpredictability demands a steady commitment, and your monthly donation ensures we’re ready to act, no matter the challenge.

How Your Monthly Gift Makes a Difference

Becoming a monthly donor is simple, flexible, and profoundly impactful. Here’s how your recurring gift can transform lives:

• $25/month: Provides hygiene kits for 5 families, ensuring dignity and health.

• $50/month: Supplies weekly food packages for 10 families, combating hunger.

• $100/month: Funds educational resources for an orphanage, giving children a brighter future.
