It's simple idea: a generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.
There are so many different ways to express generosity on Giving Tuesday, and every day! Give time, make someone smile, help a neighbor, or make a donation to a charitable cause. Everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts.

Greg and Samantha Tierno, Frontier Horizon Host Parents, wanted to share their story with other prospective families considering orphan hosting:
"My wife Samantha and I, as we are sure all of the other potential host parents, took the news of this year’s Ukrainian hosting program being postponed with great disappointment. We had made a strong emotional investment into bringing the two sisters we agreed to host to the United States for a much-needed respite from the ongoing war in their homeland. As someone who likes to solve problems and find solutions I was inspired by Tom and Vinny’s posts from Germany where they along with others from Frontier Horizon were spending a week with the orphans located there engaged in fantastic activities which looked to be a fun time for all involved. I asked myself, ‘Why can’t we do something like this for the children who cannot leave Ukraine?’.
I reached out to Tom and proposed working with his contacts there to set up a holiday camp for January of 2023 to host as many children as possible at a venue in the Carpathians far from the war. They were able to find a great facility with room for over a hundred children that has all types of indoor and outdoor activities: sledding, skiing, crafts, a performance stage and four meals a day. The best part was the cost was below $400 per child which included all of the above and transportation to and from the camp. We immediately agreed to sponsor Diana and Karolina and set up a fundraiser to send additional orphans to the holiday camp.
While we would have enjoyed having both of the girls here for the holidays, we still understood that after dealing first with the pandemic and now the travesty of war these children have missed the most important thing; that of just being a child and enjoying the company of their peers. We are hoping that other host parents whose host children are still in Ukraine will join us in sponsoring their kids attendance to this needed time of respite. For those fortunate enough to have their children out of the country, safe and well provided for, perhaps you might sponsor another child hoping to participate in the camp. I am sure this season of waiting has been as difficult for you as it has been for Sam and me. Perhaps this will provide us one way to do something tangible to express our love and support for the children of Ukraine. Thank you for your consideration.
Tom Sasser, Executive Director of Frontier Horizon has agreed to facilitate any participation in this effort you would like to engage. Simply email him at tom.sasser@frontierhorizon.org to let him know you want to participate.
Best regards,
Greg and Samantha Tierno"

12-year-old Ukrainian boy Glib S has spent the past few months in a war-torn city.
Sending him to Winter Camp gives the priceless opportunity to be a kid again. There are a lot of things that Glib will enjoy at camp as he interacts with children, plays games, enjoys the outdoors, and so much more.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Frontier Horizon family to yours!
It is with gratitude that we celebrate Thanksgiving this year. There are a number of things for which we are especially grateful: A special thank you to all of our host families, children, sponsors, and staff members who help us help deserving children.
While we are enjoying a special meal with our loved ones, our Colombian host children are also enjoying a special time. They are attending a fun hosting preparation camp where they will practice speaking English, play games, meet new friends, and much more to prepare them for Christmas with their host families in the US.
Please consider supporting us at this time of reflection:

Megan Belisle do I spy A?😊❤️
In Poland, Frontier Horizon Partner Artur Gorniewski has an inexhaustible creative spirit in finding ways to stretch every resource to help one more person.
Recently, Artur visited refugee orphans staying in a large resort in Poland. He told us many stories, including one about granting a young boy's wish for a green bicycle. In addition to providing winter hats and chargers for their technological devices, he also played table tennis with an orphan boy without any relatives - promising to return and play more games with him again.
Maintaining support projects and fulfilling requests for needs such as this requires your financial contribution!
