Lyudmyla and her children settled in #Pokrovsk after fleeing home — but as the situation there drastically deteriorated, they had to leave again.
@MissionProliska, supported by the #UkraineHumanitarianFund, helped them evacuate and settle in a safer place.
Daily hostilities in #Ukraine continue to bring death and destruction to civilians, especially those living near the front line.
Aid workers are doing all they can to support affected people—from helping them cover damage to their homes to providing psychosocial & legal support.
Ms. Olena lives in the village of Studenok, Kharkiv region.
Her house was damaged twice: in 2022, during the hostilities, debris damaged the roof and broke windows and doors, and in the autumn of 2024, a large forest fire broke out nearby, damaging many homes.
‘Everything around was burning, but my house was still standing — everyone was surprised,’ recalls Ms. Olena.
The local authorities included the woman's house in the list of residents who needed housing repairs.
Subsequently, she became a participant in a restoration project implemented by our Foundation.
Thanks to this assistance, Ms. Olena received funds to repair the roof and install new windows and doors.
After the damaged house was restored, inspired and filled with joy at the opportunity to live in comfort again, Ms. Olena shared a poem she wrote herself and dedicated to her home.
The project is being implemented by the Charitable Foundation "Angels of Salvation" in cooperation with @WeWorldGlobal and funded by the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.

Winter is always difficult for people living near the front line.
Frosts, heating disruptions, expensive firewood and gas all affect people's peace of mind and spirit.
Every day, people think about how to heat their homes and keep them warm to withstand the cold outside.
Our team hears almost every day that in such conditions, any help is greatly appreciated. And we are grateful that we can work with @UNHCRUkraine to care for people like Ms Nina.
She shares that this winter she plans to stay warm with a warm blanket, a new heater and insulated windows.
