Ukraine recently has lost 83 lives due to a cold snap! The weather has been colder than the people in that area are able to handle. The picture above is a relief center providing warm food for those who are homeless and/or poor. Due to this relief center reaching out for those are unable to provide for themselves has saved more than 13,500 people in Ukraine. Many people are being treated from hypothermia and frostbite! 536 were diagnosed with this tragic disease, 83 lost there lives. Hospitals are also reaching out and offering 2,800 "heating points" across Ukraine. It's good to know that people are able to go out of there way to help the homeless. That's really nice of them, and it's good to know people are looking out for other people rather than walking away from the matter. This article has taught me how fortune I am, and how lucky I am to have a home with heat, and food to be able to survive.

I hope the people stay warm. I cannot imagine what that weather would feel like, because we live in Texas!
