In a small village in Moldova, grandmother Varvara and her family face a harsh winter with little to eat. Her granddaughter and grandchildren work tirelessly to help, but the family struggles to make ends meet.

This Christmas, Mission Without Borders delivered a box of food and treats to their home. For Varvara and her family, it wasn’t just groceries - it was hope. They could enjoy a warm meal together, celebrate Christmas, and feel loved and remembered.

As they unpacked the box, the children’s laughter filled the small, dimly lit house. Varvara smiled as she watched them share the treats, feeling a sense of comfort and peace she hadn’t felt in months. The simple joy of being cared for brought the family closer together and reminded them that they are not alone.

Operation Christmas Love brings joy, practical support, and the message of Jesus to families like Varvara’s, reminding them they are not forgotten.

Thank you for sharing the joy of Christmas
