What is Mother's Care?

We are a small team of YWAMers living in Ukraine for the purpose of mininstering the love of a mother and father to abandoned children. We regularly visit and help two hospitals where abandoned children are cared for, as well as a baby orphanage where children with Down's Syndrome or other challenges live.
We provide love, play, affection, and compassion for children who are sick in the hospital and don't have a mother to comfort them.
We also provide diapers, powders, food, clothes, and other much needed items that the hospitals and orphanages just cannot afford to buy.
Why do we do this? Because we know that each of these children, no matter what their situation, is valuable to the Lord, and we deeply care for each one of them.
As much as we give to them, these little ones also bless our lives each time we are with them.
Our goal in the up coming year is to purchase a home where we can care for children who have been abandoned until they can be adopted into families or placed in a long term foster home.
