Orphans need help

This war took from us our home, our orphanage and the Center of Help "Home of Happy Children", where we put our hearts and souls for 15 years. Our home is now empty, devoid of children's laughter, our children and life. And children together with their teachers were forced to run away literally under bullets on February 24 when Russian troops started attacking Kyiv. But despite the war, we need
to maintain our home, to which we will be returning very soon.

We remember the first hours with horror. But our heroic staff did the possible and impossible to save the lives of our wards, taking them to their native villages, to their families, where they lived for two months. At the same time we were looking for an opportunity to take the children to a safe place, as there were no such places left in our country due to possible missile attacks by the occupants. We searched, we asked, we wrote. And fate smiled on us. The invitation was received by the Mayor of Cologne, Jürgen Seitz, and the couple Ulrike and Harald Waitz von Eschen, Schloss Emmerichshofen, who offered us their home for the temporary stay of children.

It took us a long time to collect all the necessary documents, obtain permits, and prepare the papers, and we are grateful for everyone's support and help. The children are safe and we are already waiting for our return, but everything depends on our glorious VSU, for whom we pray every day.

Our homein Kyiv is not getting discounts, rebates, deferrals, or debt relief opportunities. It pays to maintain our home and we are appealing to everyone who cares to support our home. The purpose of this project is to raise funds to pay utility bills in July and September, 2022, and every hryvnia is important.

Thank you in advance for your kind hearts and support!
