HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - An Alabama organization called Bridges of Faith is racing against war to help children in Ukraine. Volunteers are on the ground, working through chaos and mounting tension to give a group of orphans a better life.
“The children have never let go of my heart,” Benz said. “In two years I had spun off from the bible society and formed the roots of what is now Bridges of Faith. I’ve spent chunks of my life in Ukraine with kids, working to bring them here. For me, I feel like it’s an outworking of my faith.” Despite immense hurdles, Benz and his team are not slowing down to bring another group of orphans home from Ukraine. They are currently connected to about eight Ukrainian children in the adoption pipeline. Bridges of Faith is now building a war chest to cover initial expenses to get these children out of the country and into their forever homes. Benz said the funds will cover document expenses, transportation and temporary housing in Poland.
“I can only say that I am enormously and eternally grateful for the people of Alabama in the ways that they have helped us,” he said. “They have volunteered, they have donated their time and their money to help hundreds of kids who really do need our help.”
