financial support for ukraine victims and refugees

The Florida Conference and TTUMC are offering three ways to take action helping to provide support for refugees and those caught in the conflict. 


TTUMC hosted a dance troupe from Ukraine called "Radost" in 2019. The team is based in the city of Dnipro which has just begun to receive shelling and cruise missile attacks. Some of the group has fled the country but most remain in the city. Several of the 100 student's families are struggling with buying food and medicine. Others are wondering how they will flee the city if necessary and have the resources to do so. 

TTUMC is accepting funds that will be transferred to the dance troupe's leader to be distributed to needy families in his organization. TTUMC will receive a complete accounting of the funds, stories of the families helped, and pictures.
