Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, reports a new wave of solidarity with 300,000 euros raised making it possible to buy more thermal shirts and generators to be sent to areas needing them most in Ukraine. Cardinal Krajewski is the head of the Pope’s charitable outreach and the network of goodwill continues in reaching out to those suffering.
According to Vatican News, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski shared news of this latest initiative. Also, in the days leading up to Christmas, he got behind the wheel of a van once again to bring some forty electric generators and a large number of the thermal shirts procured through a collection by the Dicastery for the Service of Charity via a solidarity platform. And the offering of donations has continued with the more than 300,000 euros collected, allowing for more purchases and shipments of generators and thermal shirts for Ukraine. In two days, all the new equipment will be delivered and made available to the large numbers of people trying to survive inhumane living conditions, a situation made worse by the polar temperatures there now.
Cardinal Krajewski told Vatican News that, “it’s a network of goodness with people helping their compatriots, wanting to help those who are suffering.” On 19 December the Cardinal visited Lviv arriving in a large van, “the biggest I could drive,” he said.
