UKRAINE: FEAR ANXIETY GRIEF DEPRESSION
Behind these smiles, a truth emerges. Anxiety, grief, depression, and all out fear dominate for many. The reality of war, the death and destruction, the fear of waking up every morning not knowing if your loved ones survived the night is front and center for everyone.
Ellen and I have had this vision and have agreed to develop a Sunflower Ukrainian Community Center in Warsaw with our wonderful Polish partner TPD. It will serve as a day care, after school program, meeting place and support center for Ukrainian children.
The most important aspect of this center will be to give psychological support to the true Heros in this war, the Moms. As we have been here from the very beginning, we have gotten to know and earn the trust of many of these Moms. While they smile in public, they are all consumed with unimaginable fear, anxiety, and guilt. Our center will bring them together in support groups with some of the finest Ukrainian certified psychologists to help them navigate the unimaginable. The impact is generational!
In America, we have the luxury to say that a Mom is only as happy as their least happy child. In Ukraine, a child can not find peace and happiness when their Mothers are stricken with this horrible fear!
Many of you have asked, how can I help? We need your support to guarantee continuity of this important initiative as this war drags on!!!

Elena Report-Nikopol, Ukraine
This is the Prydniprovska secondary school. A few months ago, we insulated the windows in this school after the shelling. Unfortunately, the school came under fire again last week and even more windows were destroyed. Thanks to UkraineChildren and each of you who help with the window insulation project, we insulated this school building, thus preserving it until the students return.
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!

✨To the moon and back…
The Cosmic Rancho is a place of fun, children’s laughter and entertainment. An authentic place where you want to come again and again.
?A pool with balls, carousels, car, inflatable slides, in general, everything that our children had enough energy for.
????♀️we thought that children will falling asleep on the bus, but they were still full of energy and singing.
?Parents are already expressing their delight that such a Camp exists in Warsaw. One child from the junior group told her parents that these were the best days of her life. This child is in the younger group, so such loud words are still normal.
Parents are also happy when they see their children’s photos on Telegram ?
?You are creating happiness with your project! Thank you!
