Shauna's House Game

Shauna Yelton could not have imagined what her commitment to orphans in Ukraine would do to change lives.

When Shauna first traveled to Ukraine, accompanied by a close friend, she was moved by what she saw and experienced. Her initial interest for those she met quickly grew into a lifelong passion. Determined to help orphans and vulnerable young people, especially those aging out of orphanage care, she continued to travel to Ukraine, working with Lifesong to share the love of Jesus. Her legacy is known by loving those she met in Ukraine and finding safe transitional housing for girls with nowhere to go.

Despite her cancer diagnosis, Shauna continued to visit Ukraine, pouring her heart and soul to each and every orphan she met, up until cancer took her life on November 4, 2015. However, one thing cancer could not touch was her legacy. In May of 2018 Shauna's House was opened in Chernigiv, Ukraine. The young adults who have moved into Shauna’s House are loved, mentored, and taught the love of Christ.

On Thursday February 24th the world woke to the news of the invasion of Ukraine. Some of the fiercest fighting in the early parts of the war were in Chernigiv. The children were evacuated soon after and moved to the eastern part of Ukraine. As the war has continued the needs for the displaced orphans has grown. Shauna's house is still standing, but the children needs are immense. We appreciate any financial support which you can provide.

To those of you with whom we have we had the pleasure of working, and to those who have helped us construct the transition home in Ukraine, it's difficult to express the depths of gratitude we have for your support.

Thank you again for all of your support. It would be impossible to name the countless ways in which you all have helped realize our dreams and the ways in which you have helped the children realize their dreams who so touched Shauna's heart. With your support we have been able to do something truly remarkable and hope to continue to do so in the future, thank you.
