Thank you for thinking about giving.
Below is Kostia, a math major and tennis player, volleyball and basketball also.
Lifeline - the fund for education and travel to the states for applicants accepted by schools we are working with in the States. We call it "Lifeline" because it really is like throwing a line to students in this raging sea that is The War in Ukraine. And because one day that student will help to save not only the future of his/her family, but the future of Ukraine.
If you wish to give only food, medicine, clothing and products to families, you can choose Give2Ukraine below.
Below is Dasha from Ukraine. Her family was displaced by the war. She is seventeen and entering the 12th grade at Menaul School (founded by Presbyterians) in Albuquerque, NM*.
Our cost for tuition, room, insurance, and meals for one year is $8000 or $667 per month.
Ten people giving $66.70 per month ($2.15 a day per donor, which is about the cost of a Tall Pike at Starbucks), will cover the cost of tuition, insurance, room and meals for one year.
Could you give monthly $66.67?
Do you know 9 other people who would join you in that effort? You could fund one year of education.
*We have placed 7 students at two schools: Menaul in Albuquerque NM and Rabun Gap in N Georgia. Why not public schools? Public schools will not take international students unless they are part of AFS, Flex or another well-known International Student Exchange program, and then only for one school year. Private schools with room and board have more options and can allow a student to come on an F1 Visa without a US family to signing the required 134a as financial sponsors.

Email me, Robert Gamble, at robertgam@gmail.com or call me at 828 318 2149 when I am in the States.
What will we give you?
We will give you a connection to the lives of vulnerable youth and children in Ukraine. With photos and stories, we will keep you informed and hopefully inspired. And we will be reasonable about that. We know how fast email boxes fill up. About once a month an email newsletter will come to you, and, of course, you can always go to the website and read it.
What else can you give us?
Emotional and spiritual support. Most members of churches believe it is important to hear Presbyterians at work in the world. They don’t realize how important it can be for those people to come to congregations. Every time I speak, meet, show pictures, or answer questions, I go away renewed.
