On the other hand, many mothers and children left Ukraine in a hurry with just a carry-on bag, and they have many needs.  Our gifts are being well spent and 100% accounted for by Susanne, who is a corporate attorney with a background in finance.

>> As you may have read, Carsten and Susanne took a Ukrainian mother and her two children into their home.  They wanted, but were unable to have children of their own.  It's been a sometimes comical learning curve for Carsten, suddenly thrust into parenting.  Their guests brought two cats, so it has been quite an adjustment for their sweet little dog Daisy too.  Nevertheless, it is a rewarding experience for all of them.

>> Thanks for your support, and feel free to forward this email.  Watch for announcements of a May 1 fundraiser in Mendocino Rotary Park.  All proceeds will go to Ukraine relief.
