Dear friends,
Winter is time of miracles, love, joy and magic in the air. And regardless the age, when it comes to Christmas season and New Year celebration many people are waiting for the dreams to come true.
Today we want to share the great memories with you, when some little, but still very important dreams turned into reality because of your help and support. There is a holiday in Ukraine when St. Nicholas brings to every obedient child the little gift, and we were happy to be his helpers on behalf of you. All children, who currently stay in short-term foster families wrote the letters and received some presents they were dreaming of: fluffy toys, ball, roller-skates, learning games, construction kits, watercolour painting set and brushes, embroidery set, mp3 player, earphones, English tutorial and different sweets.
You just should imagine how happy they were, how bright were their eyes and how sincere they were laughing. “I feel myself so happy, now I got a friend to love me”, - said little Yana* holding her new fluffy rabbit, which speaks “I love you” often. “My English will become much better with the tutorial I have dreamed about”, - the 13-years old Nastia* told. And the youngest children, who are only 6 and 7 months old kept their new toys as a treasure and smiled a lot.
Thank you very much for all your kindness and support. We know that together with your help we are able to change the live for thousands vulnerable children and make some big dream about loving and caring family come true as well.
Many of us are waiting for the winter holidays to start the life from scratch when the New Year will come. We are building plans and believe that better things will happen next year. We are making wishes and promises to ourselves; we are ready to improve ourselves to become healthier, organized, kind etc. But the true is that now as the best time for transformation. Always.
Just look around and enjoy those days! Isn`t it a miracle that all the world is dream bigger? You are the part of the wonderland. On behalf of all vulnerable children we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And please donate whatever you can afford and tell everyone you know about the little steps which change the lives.
We thank you immensely!
