Ukrainians live daily with threat of missiles landing on their homes, parks, shopping centers and work places. Sirens  and bomb shelters are a part of their everyday life, even for those hundreds of miles from the front lines. The war rages on with no end in sight. There is a coming crisis that will certainly create even harsher circumstances for Ukrainians and Moldovans – WINTER!

The winters in Eastern Europe are harsh, with temps dropping well below zero most weeks. The Russians control the flow of gas and are cutting back or ending supply for Eastern Europe. There will be few if any families that will be able to afford gas for heat. This leaves wood as coal as their only option. The supplies of wood and coal are dwindling and the prices are rising.   Millions of people could be without heat this winter. Kingdom Bridges is launching Come B4 Winter to help the most vulnerable: orphans, widows, elderly, sick and refugees.

To help these precious people we are launching a crowd-funding project to raise $100,000 to buy wood and coal. The campaign begins on August 22, and with your help spreading the word on social media, we could reach thousands! Through gifts of $10, $20, $50 or more, we can provide heat for many families. 100 percent of funds raised will go to buy wood and coal.  You can host a fundraiser on your own social media. To find out how, visit www.kbridges.com/b4-winter. You can set your own goal and encourage your friends to give. This small effort on our part can help hundreds of vulnerable families stay warm this winter.

The call is coming from Ukraine and Moldova. Let’s partner together to raise funds and ship supplies to help our friends B4 Winter.

All items must be turned in by AUGUST 31 in order to be shipped to Ukraine/Moldova in time for the winter season. Items should be new unless marked “gently used.”
