Dear Supporters of Ukrainian Children,
We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support and commitment to our mission of providing long-term, comprehensive assistance to Ukrainian children who have tragically lost one or both parents due to the ongoing war.
As of October 1, 2023, we are proud to share that we are supporting 6,447 children, with 284 new children joining our Fund in September. Each child we assist carries a unique story of resilience and hope.
This month, we'd like to share an inspiring story that reflects the indomitable spirit of the children we serve. Meet 5-year-old Eva, a young hero in her own right. Eva's father, Maksym, served bravely to defend Ukraine and tragically lost his life near Balakliya on September 7, 2022. On that fateful day, Balakliya was liberated.
Despite her tender age, Eva's heart is filled with a desire to support the brave individuals she fondly calls "the Ukrainians" - those who selflessly protect their homeland. Her mother, Valentyna, wholeheartedly supports her daughter's noble cause. They have been dedicating their time and resources to help various military units and volunteer centers. Remarkably, their expenses have already reached half a million UAH, equivalent to Eva's state pension. Valentyna believes that investing in Ukraine's victory, not material possessions, is the most valuable legacy she can leave for her daughter's future.
Eva became a part of our Foundation just this August. In this short time, the family has received vital financial assistance, applied for preparatory courses for school, and is eagerly awaiting a tablet for Eva. We are incredibly proud to have such compassionate and conscious children among our wards.
Your unwavering support makes stories like Eva's possible. Thank you for standing with us in our mission to empower these children to overcome adversity and reach their full potential.
