Mission to Kievsky District of Donetsk
Today ‘Donbass Humanitarian Aid’ fund brought 60 roofing tiles to Yelena Antonovna, a widow in the Kievsky District about 500 meters from the Donetsk airport. Her husband died before the war, and in 2014, her house got hit by the Ukrainian MRLS ‘Grad’. She was wounded, and the roof of her house was badly damaged. With help from her son and neighbors, she repaired her roof, but her house has gotten hit every year since. You may ask “What’s the use of fixing the roof if it’s only going to get hit again?” A leaking roof can totally destroy a house in a few years. We’ve got a single widow here, living under heavy shelling, including ‘Grads’, for over six years. OF COURSE we are going to help her! It was $180 for 60 roofing tiles, which means she’ll be warm and dry through the Autumn rains and Winter snow. We got a great deal, even the ‘Galaxy’ store where we bought the tiles donated free delivery, which was a huge help. And THANKS to ALL who contributed to our work! Even in tough times, we can still make the world a better place, together.
