Recently, SWARM (Southwest Area Refugee Mission) contacted Hope Lutheran with a request to help a particular family. SWARM has identified this Ukrainian family as having an especially challenging situation. Mom and their 2 little girls are in Ukraine, and Dad and their 18-yr old son are here in Calgary.

SWARM volunteers have gotten to know this Christian family very well. They have been worshipping with Lutheran Church of our Savior when work allows, and they also volunteer with SWARM. The father has not been able to save enough money to bring his wife and two daughters back to Canada. Financial help with airline tickets and gift cards to buy food would be so helpful. Presently the father and son are supporting the family in Ukraine as well as paying rent and supporting themselves here in Calgary. They are all working so hard to improve their English. This is a hardworking, loving family who needs financial help as well as help securing better paying jobs.

Please prayerfully consider how you might supportthis family. Donations can be included in your offering envelope or e-transfer payment. Please attach a note stating the $ amount specific for SWARM – be sure to label “For Shandursky Family”. You will be issued a tax receipt.

If you are able to help in the job hunt please contact Pastor Greg for details. Also, we ask for prayers for this family and for all victims of war throughout the world.
