Children of Heroes Charity Fund is bringing together two winter initiatives to support Ukrainian children who have lost one or both parents because of the war. Through Warmth for Children, we provide winter clothing, footwear, heating and backup power for families facing difficult circumstances. Christmas Miracle gives children the opportunity to choose and receive a gift that reflects their own wishes and interests.
Russia's war against Ukraine has caused power cuts, disrupted heating and growing financial pressure on families. During winter, these challenges become even more serious, making it harder to keep homes warm and maintain daily routines, including children's education. For families raising children who have lost a parent because of the war, these difficulties add to existing pressures. Limited household budgets can also make it harder to meet children's needs and maintain Christmas traditions.
Warmth for Children provides winter clothing, footwear, heating supplies and backup power according to families' needs. For 13-year-old Artem and his mother, the Fund provided firewood to heat their home. Christmas Miracle helps children receive presents through individual gifts or vouchers they can use to choose for themselves. Ten-year-old Vika asked for food for the stray cats she cares for. Both initiatives respond to real needs and individual wishes.
Winter assistance can ease financial pressure, reduce the risk of urgent needs becoming crises and help families maintain daily routines. Christmas Miracle gives children opportunities to make choices and take part in familiar celebrations. Both initiatives complement the Fund's year-round support for more than 17,200 children, including education, psychological support, medical care and individualised family assistance as their needs change.
