Our core mission of rescuing homeless, abused, and abandoned Jewish children has remained the same, especially now with more victims and casualties of the war. Granted, our location and circumstances have broadened, and that means our mission has evolved with a newfound focus to stabilize the lives of orphans and war refugees in Bucharest, Romania while also addressing ongoing humanitarian needs in Odessa, Ukraine.
