Her home is gone, but Olena's faith still stands

By Bohdan Yaremchuk | Grant Manager

After fleeing occupied Kherson, Olena and her two daughters are trying to start a new life in Kryvyi Rih. Their story is one of struggle for survival and love for their children, despite all their losses. The younger daughter, eight-year-old Vira, has a severe disability and needs constant care, special nutrition and medication to avoid seizures and pain. The older daughter, Angelina, helps her mother at home and continues her education, dreaming that their family will one day feel safe again.
Olena does not have a stable income. Vera's treatment costs about £240 per month, but the family only receives £60 in state aid. The rest is an amount they cannot cover on their own. In addition, they have to pay rent, buy hygiene products and special food. Our Save Ukraine team supports the family by helping them with medical paperwork, finding doctors, and preparing to purchase medicines. We remain close by and are ready to act immediately as soon as the funds are raised. All donations received as part of this project will be used to pay rent, purchase medicines, and help the family adapt to their new living conditions.
‘We lost our home, but not our faith,’ says Olena, showing photos of the destroyed house. "The main thing is that we are together. I just dream that my children will have peace, warmth, and a chance for a better future."
Supporting this family is a chance to restore their dignity and make them feel that they are not alone. Even a small contribution can be a lifesaver: it will turn into medicine for Vira, a roof over the family's head, and an opportunity for Angelina to continue her education.
We sincerely thank everyone who stands by those affected by the war. Together, we help them not only to survive, but also to believe that life can be peaceful and dignified again.
Attached is a photo of the family's destroyed home.
