LYNC first answered the call in Bautzen, Germany when we took 1,800 refugees under our care. In 2023, despite the risks, we chose to cross Ukraine's borders and work in-country to Ukraine's suffering people. It has been important that LYNC not only reach out to help but also maintain a consistent, present, and comforting presence in Ukraine. Whether through critical aid and care, trauma therapy, bringing gifts to children for Christmas, or simply sitting with and comforting the silently suffering, LYNC will be there.
