Help Us Help The People of Ukraine - The Franciscan Relief Fund

Our sisters, brothers and their children in Ukraine are still facing hunger, homelessness and evacuation as this horrific war continues to rage on. In this video, Fr. David Convertino, OFM shares the heartbreaking story of a bombed elementary school– a place where the Ukrainian Friars worked closely with children and their parents. Thanks to our generous supporters, The Franciscan Relief Fund has already sent over $450,000 in funds to the friars in Ukraine. We will
continue to send the funds every two weeks to help those who are still in desperate need of food, clothing, and medicine.

LIGHT A CANDLE FOR UKRAINE

The Franciscan Friars are beggars. We never beg for ourselves, but only for others. Now we are begging for those suffering in Ukraine. These people are now hungry, homeless and without the necessities of life because of the violence that is tearing their homeland apart.

They now need our help. We, the Franciscan Friars, are not leaving. We are staying in Ukraine to help those we serve; the Friars are there for them. Through the Franciscan Relief Fund, we will send funds to the friars to help those who desperately need our help with food, clothing and medicine. Please, have a Franciscan Heart and give generously and with gratitude to The Franciscan Relief Fund.
