In Preparation for the arrival...
The support we have been receiving is amazing and overwhelming. The donations have been coming in from family, friends, colleagues, and people we don't even know. We are so grateful and thank our Savior for His opportunities, blessings and gracious plan for our lives!
As our girls prepare for their long trip to our home, we too are preparing for them. They will be sharing a room together but have their own room. Our sweet Josie is giving up her room to bunk with her brother for the next month so Valya and Ro can feel comfortable in their own space. St Nick came to our house last night and even filled stockings for the girls. As we gather the necessary items the girls will need, we have had a lot of people volunteer to help. We have friends searching for Bibles and books written in the Ukrainian language, we're preparing our welcome sign for the airport and really getting excited for whatever God has laid out for us on this journey!
Some have asked what they can help donate. I have included a list of items that we will still be needing for the girls, from basics to the bigger items.

2 age appropriate backpacks (sturdy)
2 new pillows - soft
