Refrigerator for Braginets large family

A washing machine was purchased and delivered to the large Hulko family in Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region, where they are raising 11 children. With the onset of active military operations in 2022, their lives were turned upside down, with most of their time spent in shelters, deeply affecting the children’s psychological well-being. Despite these hardships, the Hulko family continues to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all the children in their care.

A dining table and chairs were purchased and delivered to the large foster family of Svitlana Shipkova. The family, raising 7 foster children in Zaitseve, Dnipropetrovsk region, faces numerous challenges due to the ongoing conflict, which has severely affected their rural community. With limited access to communication and education, the parents continue to work hard to provide the children with a sense of stability and support their socialization despite the difficult circumstances.

We purchased and delivered a refrigerator for the large family of Yelyzaveta and Oleksii Braginets. The family, residing in Buzova village, Kyiv region, is raising and caring for 14 children, all from orphanages. 

The new refrigerator will help them store food and better manage the household needs of such a large family.

We purchased and delivered medical supplies for a child with diabetes from the family-type children’s home of Olha Chechera. The supplies included a blood glucose monitoring system and 12 packs of test strips. The family cares for 10 children, who are internally displaced from the village in Kharkiv region. In June of this year, the youngest daughter, Sasha (2 years old), was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in a severe form.

We provided the Serechenko family from Dnipropetrovsk region with a gas stove. Their family-type children’s home, which is currently raising six children, recently moved to a larger house to ensure comfort and convenience for every child. The new house had a small and malfunctioning stove, making our assistance crucial for their daily needs.

In the Shatyrko family-type children’s home, nine children are being raised. Their home in Chernihiv Oblast was partially destroyed by bombings. As they work on rebuilding and re-furnishing their house, we provided them essential furniture including a wardrobe, a computer desk, and shelves.

The Shermuk family-type children’s home was established just two days before the full-scale invasion. Yana has two biological children—Sofia (16 years old) and Anatoly (13 years old)—and in 2022, she took in six siblings into her family. As Yana raises the children on her own, she needs support. We purchased and delivered a freezer, which is essential for managing a large household.

The Paskevich family, from Dnipropetrovsk region, who run a family-type children’s home and are internally displaced due to the war, received tablets from us to aid the educational process. These devices have become a crucial support for the 10 children in their care. Now, each child will have the opportunity to learn in comfortable conditions.

Currently, 10 children are being raised in the Tkalya family-type children’s home. The family previously lived in Marganets, Dnipropetrovsk region, but had to evacuate due to shelling. They now reside in a rented house and are in great need of support, as life goes on, the children are growing, and they need to be provided with everything necessary.

We have provided essential household appliances to support Alona Blahoveshchenska’s family-type children’s home in Kamyanske, Dnipropetrovsk region. With a kitchen stove and extractor hood, this assistance aids Alona, who single-handedly raises 9 children aged 10 to 16, including two with disabilities. These appliances were urgently needed after their old ones broke, easing financial worries and supporting their daily lives.
