Issue 213 Spring 2016 - Transforming Lives and Communities

Vova and his family are typical of the many families helped by LoveWithout Borders. He is 5 years old and lives with his mum, dad and two older brothers. They live in the no-man's-land between the fighting factions in the Luhansk area of Ukraine.

His dad was a mechanic and his mum a nurse - they were a very contended family. In 2013 Vova was diagnosed with leukaemia.

Whilst the chemo worked, it caused the bones in his legs to bend and so he needed specialist help. But, then the war started. His dad lost his job and there was, and still is, no stable authority in place to arrange the treatment that Vova needs.

To receive the specialist help meant going through 15 check-points and this would take all day, if they could get through them all. But, the family continued to be brave and positive.

Love Without Borders arranged for Vova to be taken to Kiev where he has now had the operation he needed.

As refugees begin to return to their homes they are confronted with destruction and squalor. Trying to rebuild their houses, their families, their lives ... with nothing but their hands, their drive, their faith.

But, the volunteers from LoveWithout Borders are responding and rebuilding lives, families and communities.

Re-equipping, even rebuilding homes. The needs are endless, but so are the prayers and the desire to make a difference.
