Lafayette Indiana Day of Thanks
September 24, 1998

We have designated September 24, 1998 as our third annual Day of Thanks.  We will again reach out to the local Breast Cancer Today Support Group of Lafayette and to the children of Chernobyl, Ukraine who have been victimized by this planet's worst nuclear accident. Our mission this year with the help of our local business, families, and individuals, is to raise $10,000 to help those who have nowhere else to turn.

Here is a brief description of the humanitarian work that has been done by Pastor Victor Kubik from the United Church of God in Lafayette in conjunction with Dr. Anthony J. Pacelli from Pacelli Chiropractic & Health Potential Complex, Lafayette, Indiana.

He has sent relief and much needed medication and food to Ukraine and other parts of the world using working with State Department programs such as Operation Support Freedom and Operation Provide Hope. Help also comes from private donations, hospitals and clinics.   

Victor Kubik is a board member of the International Chernobyl Children's Trust in the United Kingdom founded by British surgeon Maurice Frohn who speaks throughout Great Britain about the serious health problems caused by radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occurred on April 26, 1986. Victor Kubik and Maurice Frohn have travelled to Chernobyl three times since April 1996 and have seen the desperate needs, especially for children affected by the radiation.

In the United States Victor Kubik has founded The Chernobyl Fund which has sent over $450,000 of relief to victims of radiation. In this amount they were able to send desperately needed medication to Chernobyl valued at nearly $250,000 which was donated largely by a pharmaceutical company. This cost the Chernobyl Fund only 6% of that total.  The relief that has been shipped has been in the form of medical equipment, medicine, food, clothing and money.   All aid has arrived to intended recipients since Victor and Maurice know and work with doctors in Chernihev (a city of 320,000 40 miles east of Chernobyl). They are both members of the city of Chernihiv's Humanitarian Relief Distribution Board that determines how the aid is to be parceled out.

Ukraine is bankrupt and can hardly afford to care for the victims of the disaster and replace the damaged reactor from the accident that took place nearly 12 and and a half years ago. The terror from radiation is not only the problems of victims in Ukraine.  It is our problem as inhabitants of a planet who must find a way to care for the health of our children and this Earth.

Stories about this work have appeared in the London Daily Telegraph, The Indianapolis Star, Lafayette-Journal & Courier, and other publications. Victor Kubik has been interviewed on numerous radio talk shows to explain the needs of victims in a counry that cannot care for them. Mr. Kubik & Dr. Pacelli have also appeared on television news programs so that there can be greater understanding about these problems and their solutions.
