1000 days of war in Ukraine.

The first days of the war are etched in everyone’s memory. 1,000 days of war.

Those were the cold days of February, during which we welcomed people fleeing the war from Ukraine at the border. Children and women, with fear in their eyes and uncertainty about what to do next, found refuge with us.

Our first stop was setting up a tent in the town of Mostyska, near the Polish border. There, we arranged beds for overnight stays and welcomed people who needed shelter for a few days or longer.

Soon after, the first tent was opened in Chernivtsi, where we fed over 1,000 people every day. At that time, cities in the western part of the country were overwhelmed with displaced people who had no homes and no way to settle into a new place. Medical assistance, food, clothing—we provided all the help we could.

As the days grew warmer, we moved to Lviv, the city with the largest number of war-affected displaced people. Our tent stood in a prominent location, making it impossible to miss. Hot meals distributed daily, humanitarian packages for families, and children’s days that allowed kids to experience childhood—this became our new reality.

When the weather turned colder, we headed to Rivne with plans to open a heating center in case of blackouts. Despite the cold and lack of electricity, we managed to build a large tent equipped with a dining area, a children’s zone, a medical department, and a coworking area. What seemed impossible became a reality, and to this day, hundreds of people can receive the help they need.

Next was the city of Irpin in Kyiv Oblast. After liberation, people began returning to their homes—worn out by the war but joyful to be back. The previously occupied city was heavily damaged, and people needed support in every possible way. A feeding place was a practical solution, addressing their need for food. Our work there hasn’t ended, and a large-scale project is soon to be launched in Kyiv, the capital.

With God’s help and the dedication of people involved in this work, our efforts never ceased but only expanded.

As of now, we are active in five cities across Ukraine, providing various forms of assistance, and we don’t plan to stop. The war continues, and so does our work, no matter what.
