Behind every donation is a meal that reaches someone who has lost everything.

With your support, Mending Roots helped provide food for 195 displaced individuals – among them children – who fled Luhansk, a city caught in the crossfire, and found temporary refuge in Chernivtsi in western Ukraine.

These are people who have endured unimaginable trauma. Many have lost family members. Some have become orphans. Others carry deep physical and mental wounds that will take years to heal. What they needed most, in that moment, was something simple and human: a warm meal.

Your donations were directed to a dedicated volunteer group supporting this community. These volunteers pool resources, take turns cooking, and deliver meals directly to those in need – person by person, day by day.

It is quiet, unglamorous work. And it is exactly the kind of work that keeps people alive and reminds them that someone cares.

Thank you for making it possible.
