Alina with her husband and three daughters stayed in the blockaded village near Gostomel more than 20 days. Conditions were unbearable - more than 20 days and nights in the cellar… Finally they decided to escape. It was a long road - through 15 pussian checkpoints - Chernobyl, Belarus… and finally Germany.Now, while Alina has been waiting for financial support for refugees, we are helping. After all, we try to do everything we can with what we have, where we are…Аліна з чоловіком та трьома доньками залишалися в блокованому селищі під Гостомелем понад 20-ти днів. Умови були нестерпні - більше 20 днів і ночей в погребі… Нарешті вони вирішили евакуюватися. То була довга дорога - через 15 rосійських блок-постів - Чорнобиль, Білорусь… і нарешті Німеччина. Зараз, поки Аліна чекає на фінансові виплати для біженців - ми допомагаємо. Адже ми намагаємося робити все, що ми можемо, з тим, що ми маємо, там - де ми є…#helpchildrenukraine #StayWithUkraine #nowar ... See MoreSee Less

Mariupol… How much pain, grief, tragic stories and suffering…Until February 24, Evgenii and his wife lived a regular life: they worked, raised the son and planned to start their own business…And suddenly, one day turned their whole life upside down. They lost everything.For almost a month they stayed in blockaded Mariupol in intolerable conditions. They were lucky to get out of that hell alive.Now they have to start all over from the scratch.The purpose of our organization is to support those who is in a very difficult situation in this difficult time for Ukraine…We can’t not help everyone, but everyone can help someone…Маріуполь… Скільки болі, горя, трагічних історій та страждань… До 24 лютого Євген з дружиною жили звичним життям: працювали, виховували сина, планували розпочати свій бізнес…І раптом 1 день перевернув все життя. Вони втратили все. Майже місяць сім’я залишалася в блокованому Маріуполі в нестерпних умовах. Їм пощастило вибратися з того пекла живими. Зараз треба розпочинати все спочатку. Мета нашого фонду - підтримати матеріально тих, хто потратив в скрутну ситуацію в цей важкий для України час… ... See MoreSee Less

Before Andrii coped with life's difficulties that befell him. Raising his son Arsenii it was not easy.Unfortunately, the boy is disabled and had to stay in a special school with children who has special needs. And only on the weekend they were together. Andrii doesn’t have no one- no wife, no parents, no brothers or sisters. He is single father who did his best to provide his small family. And everything was good till the war started and destroyed their regular life. Andrii lost his job, and the special school where stayed Arsenii was closed because of the war. Andrii really wanted to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but how? Arsenii needs care. He cannot be left alone at home. That's how Andrew is now without a job, without livelihood, without support, with a son who needs special attention. We decided to support Andrii and Arsenii financially. We are sure that the war will end soon with our Victory and everything will come back to our usual life. Everything will be Ukraine💙💛!Раніше Андрій справлявся з життєвими труднощами, які випали йому на долю. Виховувати одному сина Арсенія непросто.На жаль, хлопчик з обмеженими можливостями і змушений був знаходитися в інтернаті де є особливий догляд. І тільки на вихідних вони були разом. Андрій, який залишився без дружини, без батьків, без братів чи сестер робив все можливе, щоб забезпечити усим необхідним свою маленьку родину. Так і жили поки не прийшла … війна, яка зруйнувала їх звичне життя. Андрій втратив роботу, а школа-інтернат, де переобував Арсеній зачинилася на час війни. Андрій дуже хотів піти до Збройних Сил України, але як? Арсеній потребує догляду. Його не можна залишати самого вдома. Ось так залишився Андрій без роботи, без засобів для існування, без підтримки, з сином який потребує особливої уваги. Ми вирішили підтримати Андрія і Арсенія матеріально. Впевнені, що скори закінчиться війна нашою Перемогою і кожен повернеться до свого звичного життя. Все буде Україна💛💙!#staywithukraine #stopwar #supportukraine ... See MoreSee Less

Gostomel is a small town near Kyiv, which became one of hotspots of the war in Ukraine. Until February 24, we didn’t want to believe that someone could come and destroy our normal life. People worked, children went to the school, dreamed, celebrated birthdays… and suddenly…. War….Vitalik and Olesya's mom shared their story:They spent two terrible weeks in a city blocked by Russian troops without light, heaters, gas under constant fire. They were lucky that of February 23, Olesya celebrated her 10th birthday, and when they were run out of food, there was no opportunity to cook something - they had some rest of sweets from celebrations and they were not hungry.On March 10, the family found out about the "humanitarian corridor". The mom knew she was taking a big risk. Everyone knows the horror stories that happened and are happening during the evacuations in Ukraine. But she had no choice. It was impossible to survive with children in Gostomel.She was taking the most important she has - her children, and kids were taking little backpacks with the essential stuff, documents and…. a few books, they left their home and everything they built day by day all their life.Then very long roads…. Now Vitalik, Olesya and their mom are safe in Germany. They are sincerely grateful to the people who has been helping them with the hospitality and accommodation. Our organisation also wants to join and support the family a little bit.And all of us believe and hope to come back home as soon as possible to our beautiful and peaceful Ukraine !!!! ...

Гостомель — невеличке містечко поблизу Києва, яке стало одними із найгарячіших точок війни. Ще до 24 лютого ніхто з нас не хотів вірити в те, що хтось може прийти і зруйнувати наше звичне життя. Люди працювали, діти навчалися в школі, мріяли, святкували Дні народження, і раптом …. Війна …. Мама Віталика і Олесі поділилася своєю історією:Два страшних тижні вони провели в блокованому російськими військами місті - без світла, без тепла, без газу під постійними обстрілами. Їм пощастило, що саме напередодні, 23 лютого, Олеся святкувала свій 10-ий День народження, і коли продуктів харчування було обмаль і приготувати щось не було можливості - у них були смаколики зі святкування і вони не залишалися зовсім голодними. 10 березня родина дізналася про «зелений коридор». Мама розуміла, що дуже ризикує. Всі ми знаємо страшні історії, що відбувалися та продовжують відбуватися під час евакуації, але вибору не було. Вижити з дітьми в Гостомелі було неможливо.Схопивши саме цінне, що має - своїх дітей, а ті маленькі рюкзаки з конче необхідним, документами і …. кількома книжками полишили свою домівку і все, що вони будували день за днем все своє життя.Далі довга дорога… Зараз мама з Віталиком і Олесею знаходяться в Німеччині. Вони щиро вдячні людям які допомогли їм своєю гостинністю і житлом. Наш фонд також хоче долучитися і трішки підтримати родину. І всі ми віримо і сподіваємося дуже скоро повернутися до домівок - в нашу прекрасну і мирну Україну!!!! ... See MoreSee Less
