Our Foundation visited two families in which the grandmother is the guardian of her grandson. Unfortunately, there are many such families in Donetsk. We brought gifts for teenagers, food and medicine. Thanks to our donors and volunteers! Wishing you a New Year filled with peace, prosperity and happiness! God bless you!
We arrived at the “Teremok” orphanage. According to the tradition, we brought gifts from St. Nicholas. Donetsk is under heavy artillery fire all day, so the children were evacuated. But the workers of the orphanage are repairing the building, cleaning and are ready to pick up the children at any time. Today we brought gifts for employees! Thanks to everyone who supports our work!
We brought fruits, toys and sweets from St. Nicholas to the Child Care Center of Donetsk. Our foundation has been supporting this center for 8 years. All this is done thanks to our donors. Military fires nearly 100 shells at Donetsk every day. A lot of dead and injured people. It’s very hard. Children and caregivers moved to another building located in a safe area. Thanks to our donors who have been supporting us since 2015! Happy St. Nicholas Day!
We went to the village of Solntsevo, Starobeshevsky district to visit the Danilik family. Grandparents are guardians of their two granddaughters. They also have an older grandson Sergey. A tragedy happened in front of the children. Mother, Tatyana, and father, Aleksander, were killed within two days in Mariupol. After this tragedy, Sergey has psychological trauma and mental problems. Another grandmother, Tatyana’s Mother, takes care of him now. Our Foundation brought a computer, school supplies, fruits and sweets for children. Thanks to all our donors for their support!
The city of Mariupol is under the protection of the Mother of God. This very beautiful icon of the Mother of God has several names: Mariupol, Crimean and Bakhchisarai. The icon was named after the Greek settlement of Mariampol, a suburb of Bakhchisarai in Crimea. The name was derived from the Hodegetria icon of the Holy Theotokos and the Virgin Mary. In 1780, many Orthodox Greeks, together with Metropolitan Ignatius, accompanied by commander Suvorov, moved from the Crimea to this area. After the Russian-Turkish War from 1768 to 1774 the city of Marianοpol and the city of Melitopol were founded. Melitopol means “honey city” in Greek. Mariupol means “Mary’s city” in Greek. And now the city of Mary meets everyone with the Icon of the Mother of God of Mariupol. Our foundation visited two large families and delivered humanitarian aid to them. Thanks to everyone who supports our work!
We went to Mariupol to the Fedorov family. Mother’s name is Oksana and she has four children.Their house is located near the Ilyich plant.There were shelling in this area. Our fund bought medicine and food for this family. Thanks to all our donors and volunteers!

Rosalia asked us to buy blankets, pillows and warm sportswear for the children. Our foundation helped this family. We are grateful to all the people who have been helping the children of Donbass for many years.
Our foundation went to Mariupol to visit the Kokotyukh family. We have been helping this family for 6 months, first we met this family on May 3, 2022. After that, we periodically delivered food to them and clothes. All documents of this family burned down during the war. The Foundation helped to obtain documents and identity cards. Also we’ve submitted the necessary paperwork to the district council of Mariupol and we helped to apply for a housing waiting list. Now all documents are restored. And City Hall provided them with a free condo! Thanks to everyone who supports our foundation!
