Wide Awake International
Украина
Добавлен 3 июл 2020
Welcome to Wide Awake International (WAI). Founded in 2013, we are a nonprofit organization registered in Oregon and lived out in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine. Our vision is to bring dignity, love, and hope to people with disabilities in Ukraine. Our mission is deinstitutionalization. We believe that every person deserves to know the love of a family here on earth. People were not made for institutions! People were made for families.
We have some big dreams and are so glad to have you along on this journey of saying YES to the next thing God asks of us.

We celebrated Thanksgiving together with the boys and team and it was a really precious (and delicious) time.

Advent: JOY ☀️

Even in the midst of war, we are surprised by gifts of joy. We brought Yarik into our Wide Awake family during the first few months of war and he brings us immense joy every single day. He is Mr. Personality and always the life of the party. God plucked Yarik out of the institution and redeemed his life in a wonderful way, but none of us could have imagined the miracle that was in store for him...

A heartwarming video, so many smiling faces enjoying time together in a family setting
Thank you, Masha, for this wonderful video. It warms my heart to see you all together. ❤
Was this version of the video intended to be done in English like the others have been? Both appear to be in Ukrainian.
Hi! There are English subtitles. ☺️
@wideawakeinternational Hi! As long as you knew about it! I thought it may be a technical glitch, but realized that the house parents may not speak English so it made sense. Merry Christmas!
I remember when I saw him get punched in the face by the institutional bully, and and his lip was bleeding and he started crying. I wanted to die. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. This healing is so profound. Prayers for the ones who never made it out. And for the Christians who know and don't act, I'm looking forward to Judgment Day.
You are ALL amazing, Christiana
Love ❤️ this ❤️!
I love how much Boris has changed since coming to live with you in your home.
I remember praying for Boris way back to the time of this video was made. I love to see who Boris became after he came to live with you in your home.
Thank you for sharing! It's so good to get to know something about each of your boys. It helps me to see what you do and really helps me to know how to pray effectively for you.

Oh my, I love this so much, Kim. So very touching and convicting. Thank you for sharing and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you are doing there to follow Jesus in love.
Beautiful ✨
❤
❤❤❤
Love how the place is growing and all the new things taking place.
Loved every bit of this. Your land is so awesome!! 🩷
Thank you SO MUCH Kim for taking us along to see your amazing homestead, bits and pieces of your lives!! I love it!! 🥰
It is so amazing watching how far everything has come along since you first moved there. Love it!!
Your videos bring a smile to my face and tears to eyes ❤❤
Wow, you are doing a great job, Ruslan!!!
You can see how safe they feel by how well they are responding to the horses and the PT. What a beautiful testimony of God's healing in their lives through the hard work that all of you put forth. Beautiful!
This is wonderful! He’s so proud of himself ❤️ May God bless you all. Your family makes my heart happy!
Saturdays sound wonderful on the Homestead! Love the video. It's always so nice to see how the boys are all changing and growing.
✨✨✨ ✨💚✨ ✨✨✨
What a great way to start my morning. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone ❤🎉
Awww thanks! Merry Christmas to you too :)
Thanks for the update, Kim! The property has developed so much! Praise the Lord. I also absolutely love the A-frame! The crew is doing amazing work.
What a wonderful video, thank you! Your new buildings are beautiful!! Love seeing everyone at the end. 🌲Merry Christmas to you all, we love you! ❤
Just loved that!!! Great job you all!!!
This is Liz Zubko's Aunt Becky. Thank you for what your are doing in the lives of these young men. It is amazing to see what God and a lot of love can do.
Make salsa with the tomatillo's. Use 2 to 1 of tomato to tomatillo. I like a little bit more tomatillo. Wash really well after you take the skin off. Has a sticky skin but will wash off with a little elbow grease. You can also char them for some extra flavor. It's like a lemony green tomato.
It looks fantastic but I am surprised that the soil is not dark. It looks like sand. Looks like you will be set for the winter.
Thank you for all you and your staff do help these boys. It is a labour of love! God bless you all.
Wow! U guys r AMAZING!!! U + God ❤
Your garden looks AMAZING! That is a LOT of Cucumbers to process. WOW! Duane suggested that you cut the leaves on your squash and melon plants. Taking care not to cut the vine with the veggies or flowers (if any are still flowering).
Beautiful garden and update! ❤
so many happy smiling faces. Looks like an amazing time. Such wonderful work you are doing there
The giant Angry Birds slingshot looks like fun!
WOW!!! You all did an AMAZING job. ❤❤ Every one of those smiles is thousands of unspoken words. Tears of joy for all of you and what God has placed upon everyone involved in making such a wonderful week of camp. May there be many more to come.
Absolutely Amazing! I can feel the fun and joy that was had by all. And the sense of camaraderie the parents gained, priceless.
What precious memories you will have!! ❤❤❤
Wow, what a huge undertaking this must have been! It looks like everyone had an amazing time! I see so many smiles and so much joy. Thank you for the work you do!
Our kids love seeing your videos! And I am so moved by your updates. My heart swells every time. Thank you!! What is the name of the song that the bear was dancing to? I thought for sure I heard “and my name is Nazar!”
Love the video and seeing everyone's smiling faces! It is amazing to see how much everyone has grown and flourished over the years! The birthday party at school, WOW!! And I love the spirit and music at the end of the school event. The pool at the end looks like it is made of wicker, is that just printed on it or is it really that fancy? Love and Blessings to you all!!!
I was watching the video and heard (what I thought to be) my timer going off. Went to look and it "mysteriously" stopped! Yep, it wasn't MY timer, it was in your kitchen! Too funny. I love how you are all going about your days living and loving and partying! Oh, so many parties! And the dancing!! This white girl (from an A/G background) has NO CLUE how to dance; but I think I could just jump up and down like several of the boys! :) Praying God's Blessings and PROTECTION for you all. - Denise Woods
Oh, I also liked the pathways between the rows for your garden. Will make it easier to walk on with less dirt/mud.
Praise God, He is so wonderfully good. I will keep praying and sending love to you all. 🥰
I think all the gardens in Oregon will be planted late this year. Snow and rain have made gardening impossible here. Summer Camp! What fun the guys will have. Starting out with days only may be the best way to go. Learning as you go along will make planning for the next year a little easier. And your daughter making that next big step in her life is exciting. I remember when my daughter left to attend nursing school in Portland. Only 90 miles away but still gone. Fortunately now there are more ways to electronical communicate and to be able to see one another via the internet. Not as good as a hug, but still can make your heart happy. It is so good to see you smiling and happy and reporting all the progress being made in so many different facets of life on the homestead. Thanks for sharing!
GLad all is going well and the boys are happy
Camp?! What fun!!! ❤❤
Love this video. So many happy faces. I'm amazed at how Iraklii responds when he hears his native tongue in song.
