362nd day of the war in Ukraine
There are three days left until the date when it will be a year since the russian aggressor has been trying to turn the life of every Ukrainian into a nightmare, and our country into ashes. For A WHOLE YEAR they keep our country and our people in fear and tension. We adapted to the constant blackouts, found a way to connect Wi-Fi without electricity, learned how to move around a dark, unlit city. Every time when the electricity is on, the first thing we do is charging all the gadgets and flashlights. Despite these attempts to break our Ukrainian spirit, we remain strong, we hold on and fight, continue to work and help those who need it.
Every Ukrainian is forced to listen to the loud sound of a siren every day during an air raid, and before that we heard this sound only in horror films. But even after a year of active hostilities, we are NOT used to it, we are not used to these whistling sounds of flying missiles and loud explosions. We are not accustomed to waking up in the middle of the night and running to the bomb shelter, the basement or the corridor, using the “two-wall rule”.
Despite everything, our team continues to work, we continue to help people every day. Therefore, people's requests for help are only growing every day, there is a need for electric generators, powerbanks for IDPs, for warm clothes and thermal underwear, since without electricity in most of the houses there is no heating.
