Although Sveta and I are happy, living in a country under invasion has its challenges. We are blessed that our town is not bombed often, but the daily air raid sirens are a constant reminder that tomorrow is uncertain. City water is undrinkable, and electric and Internet service are intermittent. Many people and businesses rely on generators, which pollute the air. There is not enough electricity to power the streetlights, so it is pitch black at night. Food prices are constantly rising. Our future is in doubt.
Despite these difficulties, our lives are filled with love for our family and the children we serve. They are the ones who motivate and fulfill us.
The Russian invasion devastated our therapeutic massage program, but despite the challenges, Sveta and I are committed to continuing and growing our massage therapy mission.
That’s where we need your help.
We seek out potential therapists, provide them with education, and connect them with children who desperately need therapeutic massage. By January 1st, we will have two newly trained massage therapists working and four more in training. That will bring our total to nine therapists across seven locations in the western half of Ukraine who will be able to serve 36 children a month. We also support children with a range of physical disabilities, as well as children and pregnant mothers experiencing stress and/or trauma due to the war.
As you can imagine, the need is great. Hundreds of children need our help. There is no limit to how much this program can grow.
Please consider helping us reach more children in need. A donation of any size will change young lives. A recurring monthly donation will go even further. A donation of just $10 will provide two therapeutic massages.
This is Sophia, one of the children you have supported. Your donations provided a treadmill for her therapist. Because of donors like you, she and the children we serve have a chance at a better life.
This Christmas season, please help us change as many young lives as possible.
Yes, I want to help disabled children.
