The Agudath Achim congregation of Bradley Beach, NJ, is sponsoring three families in Ukraine. Their generous donations will ensure the Ivashchenko family, the Grinchenko family, and the Chernaya family have food, medicine, and other necessities.
The Ivashchenko Family from Mariupol, Ukraine
“We have two children, Anya, 7 years old and Maxim, 12 years old. Before the war, as it turned out, we had a wonderful life. The children had many friends, were very sociable, went to school and attended Jfuture, Enerjew and SmartJ classes. But one day our life completely changed. We lost everything: our house, friends and relatives, jobs and our beloved city. I still don’t have any news from my brother in Mariupol and I cry everyday. Fortunately, we evacuated and survived. Now we live in Dnipro in a hostel. After all, we are learning to live again.”
The parents lost their jobs, their home and all of their belongings. They are in need of support to rebuild their lives.
The Grinchenko Family from Zhytomyr, Ukraine
Svetlana is a single mother who was raising her two boys, Bogden (15) and Nazar (11) in Zhytomyr. They were forced to evacuate, leaving everything they had behind in Ukraine. They currently live in Haifa, Israel, with relatives, but need to rent their own apartment. The family is in desperate need of support to begin their new life.
Natalia and Mikhail Chernaya from Vinnytsia, Ukraine
Natalia is an English teacher and works at a local Jewish school to provide for her son. Mikhail is struggling with the effects of the war and need psychiatric care. These issues have caused him to lag behind his peers in school, and he need tutoring. The war has crippled the family’s financial situation and they are in need of support for food, medication and psychological care.
