Elena Report-Nikopol, Ukraine

Time Stood Still!

It was Lubov‘s birthday when shells came. She invited her friends and family. They all were siting at home when the first shell hit the building next to theirs, and they all ran into the basement. Two minutes later, the second shell hit Ludbov’s house and destroyed almost all of the windows. She said that time stood still. She didn’t know how long they were in the basement. They were so scared.

Please help us keep families warm in Ukraine. We need funding to help keep this project going. As little as $15 can replace a window.

The need is big, but small donations will make a difference!

Larissa was in the hospital with a heart attack when the shell hit her apartment and destroyed all of her windows. She said it is bad that I had a heart attack and was in the hospital, but maybe this is the reason which saved my life.

When the shelling started in Nikopol, Mycolay moved out, but he said that it was too hard for him to live in a different city so he decided to come back. A month after he came home, the city was being shelled. He was in the kitchen, cooking dinner and bent over to pick something off the floor when a piece of metal flew over his head.  He said that it was a terrible experience. When we finished the window insulation in his apartment, he was very grateful.

Elena lives alone.

All of her family moved out of the city and asked her to do the same, but she said that this is her city, and she would never leave it. When the shell hit, she was sleeping in the corridor and this is why she’s still alive. All residents are warned to use the “2 wall rule.” When the alarms go off, everyone should either be in a shelter or put 2 walls between themselves and the outside. Most of the time, there isn’t enough warning to get to a shelter.
