Hot meals for 800 Ukrainians in cities under fire

Dear donors,
Sometimes a simple bowl of hot meal is not just food. It is life. It is a memory of home that no longer exists. It is the feeling that you are not forgotten.

Thanks to your kindness and support, our project ‘Hot meals for 800 Ukrainians in cities under fire’ continues to operate in one of the most attackable corners of Ukraine — the city of Kharkiv, which is shaken by sounds of air alerts and explosions every day.

With your donations, we have purchased food and have been preparing hot meals for 80 people for a whole month. Among them are lonely elderly people, people with disabilities, displaced persons, the unemployed, and the homeless. People who have lost everything except hope.

Volunteers tell us stories that are impossible to forget. A lonely elderly woman named Anna comes to the distribution point every day, regardless of the weather. She quietly sits down on a bench, warms her hands over a bowl of soup and smiles: ‘While you are cooking, I am alive.’ One of the men, homeless and without documents, said that for the first time in a long time, he feels that someone cares about him.

This is all thanks to you.

Every meal prepared and served with love is warmth, care, and restoration of human dignity. It is an antidote to fear and loneliness. And your donations are not just numbers. They are real lives, real faces, real help. You are part of the light which we bring to places which are dark now.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. For your faith, compassion and strength to be with us.

With gratitude and hope,
The CHARITY FUND "TABOR" Team
