The Cross Border House is pleased to announce the publication of the War Diaries. Sunflowers at my Table: War Diaries of a Ukrainian Community will be available on February 24, 2024, in paperback and e-book format. All proceeds go to the support of Ukrainian refugees.
While we are no longer sheltering together, we are in frequent contact. Some of us are working together on new projects, a few have returned to Ukraine, others are still employed with the same factory they were eighteen months ago, while others are living close to us in the north of Poland. The Foundation continues to support those former residents in need, and if book sales are successful, we can help yet others struggling to make ends meet.
We invite you to visit our website often for upcoming blog entries and updates on our Sheltering Family.
In the spirit of keeping our readers informed, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Litoshko lost his battle with cancer in January. He was the only son of Natasha, husband to Marina and father to Paulina and Danilo. His ashes were lovingly hand carried by his mother to Ukraine, his final resting place.
Thank you for caring.
Much love from The Cross Border House.
