A man in Florida has helped nearly 100 Ukrainian orphans escape Ukraine through a Romanian orphanage.
PALMETTO, Fla. — Marvin Lane was a pastor for decades, now he lives in Palmetto, Florida and attends Skyway Community Chapel.
"Sometimes the older you get the more you recognize the sufferings and the needs of children. And when you see the corruption and all that they’re going through, I had to do something," said Lane."My first thought was, what’s going to happen to the orphaned children? Because they were going to be the ones who were going to suffer the most, no one caring for them or trying to provide for their needs," said Lane.
"Sometimes they had to walk because they ran out of gas. When they got to the border, it was freezing cold with no shelter for over 24 hours," said Lane. Lane is traveling to Romania on Wednesday. He said with this all unfolding so quickly finding funding to help has been challenging.
