Elena Report-Nikopol, Ukraine
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.
Forced to leave their home for a dacha, or cabin, this family shares their story. Ukrainian Children Inc installed a wood-burning stove for them with the hope that it will keep them warm.
The gift of a Wood Stove to a Ukrainian family can be a gift for the person who has everything. Their name can be engraved on the front of the stove. It can be a memorial or a club name. We will send a gift letter you can include and later, we will try to send photos/videos of the family who received it.

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.
A couple weeks ago, a shell hit the yard of Sergei’s building. Unfortunately, in their city, there is no program for wood to use to cover the holes. He was living like this in the middle of the winter, but thanks to this window insulation, he will be warm and water won’t come into his apartment.
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!
