MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO HELP IN SO MANY WAYS
Now is the time to support Ukrainians who are trying desperately to relocate, build new lives for their families and to find a sense of peace, support and community.
I am proud to announce that a new Ukrainian family (parents with five beautiful children) will be coming shortly to Potton. The father will work at Garage Jauniaux and the family will live next door in the apartment building beside the garage. There is much to be done as we welcome this family with love and support.
The family requires significant support to build a new life in a foreign country with a new language, and in many cases, a new way of doing things. And they encounter the same challenges that Potton residents do: a shortage of affordable housing, a lack of childcare, and rising food costs.
Communities have come together to show support for these folks, and we at the CABMN are so grateful for everyone who has reached out in volunteering to help paint the apartment, assist in finding furniture and dishes, providing food and who will in future offer support as the family adjusts.
Your understanding of the suffering experienced as the war continues and the plight of those traumatized, displaced and hoping for brighter days is essential and so appreciated.
As a volunteer, I appeal to our community: please, don’t stop supporting Ukrainians. We need you. They need you.
If you can give, please give. If you can volunteer, please volunteer. Please don’t stop now as their needs have not stopped but rather have grown.
Thank you,
Mable Hastings-Directrice CABMN
