Restoring safety and dignity, one home at a time

Recently, we have received a request from compassionate people on the ground in Ukraine to assist an elderly man named Shvets Vasyl Petrovych, who is 71 years old and lives in Chernivtsi, whose apartment was severely damaged by a missile strike. Vasyl is one of the many elderly individuals deeply affected by the ongoing war.

On July 12, 2025, one of the largest attacks of the month was launched across Ukraine, firing hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles across the country. The western city of Chernivtsi, was among those hit. At least two people were killed in the region, and Vasyl’s apartment building was damaged in the blast.

The explosion destroyed his kitchen and blew out all of the windows in the home, leaving his home exposed and unsafe - especially with winter approaching.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to step in and repair Vasyl’s kitchen and replace the broken window, helping restore warmth, safety, and dignity to his life.

These are the moments that matter - restoring dignity and security, one person and one home at a time.
