Kovalev orphanage needs help

There are 22 children in the Kovalev orphanage, many of them are victims of the war.  They lost their parents and their homes, there was no one to take care of them. These children found their home in the house of Lydia Anatolyevna Kovaleva. We often visit them. This time we brought food, hygiene products, detergents, soap and, of course, sweets. Mom turned to us with a request to help in purchasing bed linen, and the children asked to buy them bicycles: for 22 children they have only 4 bicycles for the youngest kids.
So, we started collecting money for these projects. We thank all our donors and volunteers.

The war has been going on in Donbass for seven long years. All these years we have been helping as much as possible. This time we visited a specialized orphanage. We delivered clothes for twenty kids, sweets, fruits and blender to grind meal for little kids .Thanks to everyone who has been with us since the beginning and those who are joining today. Good will triumph over evil! CHRIST IS RISEN!

We recently went on a special holiday mission to see the kids at ‘Teremok’ Orphanage in Donetsk. The war has been going on in Donbass for seven long years. All these years we have been helping as much as possible. Аnd we have big plans for the future. ‘Teremok’ is a great place, filled with love and laughter and happy, healthy kids. Our next project is to bring paint and new benches for the kids’ playground. Join us in helping these sweet, innocent young kids!

Thanks to everyone who has been with us since the beginning and those who are joining today. Good will triumph over evil!

When we went back to Khanzhenkovo before Easter with no empty hands, we saw the repairs that had already been made with Roma and Anya’s donation. The kitchen had been totally transformed, new walls, new door, sink and water heater, what a difference it all made! But the work is not done yet. We are doing an ongoing project, renovation room by room. Come along, be a part of it! Six young kids and a sweet and dedicated Grandma are counting on you! Thanks to everyone who has pitched in, especially Roma and Anya. See here Report 128

Mom from Novobeshevo

Just before Easter the Donbass Humanitarian Aid crew took a road trip to the village of Novobeshevo in DPR, which saw heavy fighting in 2014. Julia and her 6 kids are in tough times, no jobs out in the country, small relief payments from the Republic, house needs repairs, and kids need some food and traditional Orthodox cakes for Easter. So we brought our standard packet of food donations – lots of everything! Plus apples, sweets and candy, flour and raisins for traditional Russian Easter cakes. This was our first trip to help Julia and the kids, but it won’t be our last!

Our Easter humanitarian aid mission to the family orphanage in Dokuchayevsk – a dozen adopted kids, eleven girls and one outstanding hero of a son. They live near the frontline, their own home has been bombed in years past. We have been helping them for several years now. It is a beautiful family, and we feel happy every time we go there. Thanks to all who go with us in spirit by contributing to our work and kids and families like these. What goes around comes around, and mercy will be shown to the merciful. Christ is Risen!

We once again sponsored the Greco-Roman wrestling tournament in memory of the famous Donetsk coach, master of sports of the USSR Vasily Bagrov. The competition took place in the ‘Kirovets’ sports palace in Donetsk. We helped to purchase prizes, medals, cups and sweets for the children. The tournament has been held for six years now, and for all the years of the war, our foundation has been helping these young athletes. These kids, under the guidance of experienced trainers, learn to work on themselves, improve their physical shape and discipline. We would like to thank the organizers of the children’s tournament and all our sponsors and volunteers. Sport is peace!

Two single mothers both named Irina, who at the moment cannot work, as they are caring for their sick children, contacted the ‘Donbass Humanitarian Aid’ Foundation. One of the women is a resident of the city of Kirovskoye, which endured an unbearably terrible six months of hostilities. One day was more terrible than the next with pleas for the horror of the war to end as soon as possible. But trouble does not come alone. Irina gave birth to a healthy baby, Egor. After a while, signs of a neurological disease began to appear. Now Egor is two years old, but he cannot even crawl and sit, he cannot hold his head up. In the Donetsk Regional Scientific and Practical Center for the Rehabilitation of Children with Cerebral Palsy and Diseases of the Nervous System, they set an optimistic prognosis for his recovery. At the moment, little Egor needs a special chair with a high back, a soft area near the head and straps to fix the child on the chair, so that he learns to sit first. And also a special neck brace to help Egor learn to hold his head up normally. The second woman’s family has two children who also suffered from the war. Unfortunately, extreme stress triggered autism in the youngest girl Sofia. She also regularly undergoes rehabilitation at the same center as Egor, also with a good prognosis. Between the courses of rehabilitation, the girl needs treatment with prescribed medications. Our foundation was able to help these two children in everything they need at the moment thanks to the help of Roman, a young parishioner of the Russian Orthodox Church in Tampa, Florida, USA. Roma recently celebrated his eighth birthday. Friends gave him birthday money, but he decided to give this money to the needs of the children of Donbass who suffered from the war.

In gratitude, Egor’s mother wrote the following: “Thank you so much! You have worked a miracle for us! To be honest, this is the first time this happens to us. You instilled such a strong faith, literally breathed life, because, even it’s scary to talk about it, I was already about to give up … ”

We wish these children and everyone who is sick a speedy recovery. Thanks to ALL donors and volunteers of our foundation! We accept any help, so join us!
