Quiet snow falls. Warm candlelight and the smell of the Christmas tree. Kutya on the table. And outside the window, it is dark and quiet... The earth loses its delight... the Savior will come soon and fill our world with light and joy. Christ is born! Praise him! In these holy days, we want to give a holiday to those children who usually lack it, our little wards not only suffered from the war in the east but also have a disability. Among them, there are 16 children with cerebral palsy, 5 are blind, 2 girls are diagnosed with SMA, 1 is a chronic renal failure and one has oncology in remission. Only 25 children. 

Do you remember the happy kids’ smiles after we collected funds last year and the year before last to give season’s presents to Mariupol’s orphans? Their eyes and their smiles are impossible to forget. A year has passed since, a lot of things have changed, but this time of the year the kids expect the miracle to repeat. Driven by the festive spirit of the season, we look forward to helping the kids get their bit of miracle. 

Terrible news was waiting for us in the morning, near the city Ichnia, Chernihiv region, night exploded munitions depot. It seemed people who live far from Eastern Ukraine, will never hear the horrible sound of explosions, but it happened! Among the cold nights people have fled their homes to escape the explosions. Small children were taken from parents warm beds and left their homes to escape from the mines and shells fragments. 

Last year, thanks to your support, we managed to donate 400 New Year's gifts to children living on the line of demarcation. During the year, we continued to help these children, because they are in dire need of our support and care. During this time we observed how they grow and develop, plan, dream and implement them. This year we decided to increase the number of gifts to 1 000 and expand our territory of good. 

You all know that this year we support children living in Novotoshkovse and Crymske Luhansk region. Together with you, we were able to give gifts to all children, deliver personal hygiene facilities and present for kids school sets. Each of you has become for them a magician!

Since the beginning of the war, more than a thousand children of Ukrainian defenders have lost their parents. Most families of fallen soldiers do not have the means and opportunities to send the children to recreation camp during the holidays. The charitable organization "Territory of Good" with the All-Ukrainian charitable foundation "Children's world" and partners offers a simple and understandable format, and every Ukrainian citizen, businessman, patriot can help the hero's child to feel joy, visit the sea resort and meet new friends.

This is a story about incredible children! We are talking about kids living in Eastern Ukraine in Luhansk region. The children, who by force of circumstances get into a very difficult situation. Their fate befell the inhumane tests that can withstand not every adult. For four years the children survived and saw that most adults cannot even imagine. YES-these are children who live near the war!

We ask for your help in collecting funds for a washing machine and an electric oven for the family of internally displaced persons. This family faces many difficulties in its path. The war exacerbated life problems. Disability of a daughter, minor grandchildren, and epilepsy... living conditions where it is cold and lonely. Valentyna's memoirs about the war: the projectile hits the adjacent porch... the fear that forces us to make a single decision... The last train travels to Kiev.

At the beginning of May Ukraine together with the whole world celebrates the 73rd anniversary of the end of the World War II. During the years of war, all the territory of Ukraine was occupied by the Natzis Germany. The losses of Ukraine were more than of Great Britain, Canada, USA, and France altogether and were more than third of officially recognized by USSR – today historians name the number of 27 million.
