Life at the children’s center “Nadiya” (Hope) continues to be a refuge for those who have nowhere else to turn. Tomorrow, another woman with three young children will arrive. Her story is heartbreaking: her husband, returning from the front, overwhelmed by jealousy, struck her and set fire to their home. Left without shelter, she is now seeking safety for her children.

Today, every room at the center and nearby house is filled — 22 children and 14 adults now live under one roof. Among them is a man in a wheelchair, who lost his legs. The new school year has begun: some of the children attend classes in person, others study online, while many of the little ones are still of preschool age.

Each day here begins with reading God’s Word, worship, and prayer for Ukraine. Even in the midst of loss and trauma, this rhythm brings peace and strength.

There is also progress in expanding the home: the annex has now been connected to water and sewage. What remains are four bathrooms, ceilings, floors, and doors — and then, space will open for six more families in desperate need of shelter.

We trust that the Lord, full of compassion and mercy, will not leave these families without care. And we are deeply grateful to all of you who continue to help. Your support is more than provision — it is hope, it is healing, it is life.

Thank you for standing with us. May God bless you abundantly.
