Larissa" son, who has Down's Syndrome, is happy to help carry the wood provided by CAM.

Hearts Cheered and Warmed by Firewood

Larissa, her husband, and their eight children  were running out of their most economical source of heat—firewood. Through the Warm-A-Family program, CAM delivered firewood to this Ukrainian family. Our staff members enjoyed watching Larissa’s son, who has Down syndrome, happily help them carry wood.

This firewood will bless the whole family this winter. A CAM staff member asked Larissa what they would do if CAM wouldn’t have brought wood, and she replied, “We would have to borrow [money] and buy wood.” She said it takes about twice as much locally-bought wood to make the same amount of heat as wood from CAM. “This wood is so good, it’s sad to burn it,” Larissa said. “Thank you for coming. It’s a very big help.”
