Winter in Ukraine is hard for everyone. For families living through power outages that can last for days, it can feel endless.

Her household is a full one – her children, her mother, her husband who has significant medical needs, and their beloved cat. When the power goes out, as it so often does, the darkness and cold are not just uncomfortable. For a family with medical vulnerabilities, they can be dangerous.

With your support, Mending Roots was able to purchase a generator for Nataliia's family – ensuring that through the hardest winter months, they have warmth, light, and the ability to simply carry on.

It is a practical gift with a profound impact. Because of kind people like you, they no longer face the dark alone.
