Thanks to Pat and Sharon Paterson!

Pat and Sharon Paterson sent Julia and Sergey a large amount of blankets and other necessities...we are so thankful to them for helping out the kids like they have. Here is their story.

Our youngest son passed away in December of 2000. We wanted to do something to keep his memory alive. In 2004, our niece and her husband traveled to the Ukraine to adopt a darling little boy. She told us about the dire needs of the children in orphanages. We began sponsoring children; all total with family and friends we have sponsored 9 children. Even though we were sponsoring children we felt we could do more. Thus we started “Blankets in Memory Of Brian. We are happy we could make a difference in a child’s life.

In the pictures are a few of the 12 boxes that we got from Pat and Sharon Paterson. Half of the things which were sent we delivered to an orphanage for the kids with special needs about 2 hours away from Odessa. The staff was very thankful and happy, they really liked nice blankets. We still have other things to deliver to another orphanage.
