‘Thank you!’ from Snizhana

On behalf of our soldiers, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of jerky meat. Your contribution uplifts the spirits of our brave men and women.

Our church “Covenant of grace” in Odesa made 90 Christmas gifts for soldiers. We made them ourselves. Each gift contained a decorated gingerbread cookie, bead decoration, warm socks, warmers, a postcard signed by our church members and jerky meat.

In order to get the total weight of 5.5 lbs of dried meat to fill 90 gifts, we had to start with 14 lbs of raw meat, which we sliced thin, marinated and put in our dehydrator over several days.

After the meat was vacuum packed, I distributed it into each gift.

Then we sent gifts to our heroes. Some came to our church. There were 90 heroes to whom we sent our love and gratitude.

All your donations put a smile on many soldiers’ faces last Christmas (for safety reasons I cannot show you their faces).

They liked it and some of them already asked for an additional portion:)

Thank you once again for your kindness. Your support is a beacon of light for our servicemen and women, and we are truly grateful for your contribution.

With appreciation,

Snizhana Kadian
