Ukraine: Support for children and families

You can make a difference by donating today to Planet Link.

Our proposed project aims to provide crucial supplies, including educational

materials, clothing, hygiene products, and medical resources, to peoples in Ukraine.

By addressing their immediate needs, we can significantly improve the quality of life for these vulnerable children and offer them a better chance at a brighter future.

Good day! My name is Evgenia. Because of the war, I was forced to leave with his family at the beginning of April 2022. I left the city of Dergachi, Kharkiv region, to the village of Stinka, Poltava region. I have two children, a 6-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter.

I want to express my gratitude to Tatyana and her husband for helping my children. They handed over a very large box with everything you need!!! And diapers, and winter shoes for both children, clothes, stationery for a first-grader! I wish the Planetlink fund prosperity, you are doing a great job! To all the children, a happy childhood and a peaceful sky for all of us! Thank you very much!!!

My name is Nadia, I moved from the city of Kremennaya, Luhansk region, because the war started in our country on March 8, the lights were turned off, then the water started to shoot heavily, there was no food, there was nothing, the shops were practically closed and the prices were terrible, and we left to live in another city, thank you very much Planetlink helped me a lot with this fund, and I am very grateful to them, especially Aunt Tane, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known about this fund, Thank you!

My name is Natalya, I was born and lived in the village of Slatine, Kharkiv region. The village is located 15 km from the border with Russia and 25 km from the city of Kharkiv.

In 2008, I met my husband, and in 2020 we got married, and in the same year my son Anton was born. The child developed normally.

But on February 24, 2022, at 5 a.m., I woke up to the shaking of the windows in the room. I did not understand what was happening, but I felt that something was wrong. She went to the window, opened it, saw flashes in the direction of the Bilhorod highway and heard explosions. I got scared, did this really start a war. We were told that there was a possibility of war starting on February 16, but we did not believe it and took it as a joke.

This is how another life began. A week later, we were left without electricity, there was almost no communication and Internet.

Also, a week later was the first arrival, a cluster shell exploded near the house, damaged our car, the fence from the street, and broke the window. Later, there were 2 more flights that badly damaged the house.

Explosions rang out day and night, often they were loud for a month. All this was very frightening, I was constantly under stress, sedatives did not help.

On March 26, 2022, we decided to evacuate.

We don't have relatives in other regions, so we didn't know where to go.

It was scary to leave, because shelling could start at any moment.

We were lucky, the road was calm and we stopped all the way in the Poltava region, in the village of Chutove.

There we were temporarily placed in a technical vocational school. My husband accidentally met an acquaintance of his in Chutov, who helped us with housing.

So we temporarily settled in the village of Stinka, where we met Vadim and Victoria Uviny. Vadym is the pastor of the Evangelical Christian Baptist Church in the village of Stinka, Poltava region. The church helped us a lot and all the immigrants (about 40 people) in this village. This is primarily moral support at meetings, as well as humanitarian aid (food and goods).

In September 2023, thanks to the recommendation of Vadym and Victoria Uvinyh, the Mennonite mission decided to repair our house, which was damaged during the hostilities, for which I express my gratitude to them.

On December 1, 2022, we were forced to move (due to power outages every 2 hours for 4 hours in the house where we lived, heating depended on electricity and it became very cold) to the nearby village of Novofedorivka, where we currently live.

My son Anton developed normally, but in connection with the war and relocations, we faced a problem, the child has a speech delay and showed signs of the autistic spectrum.

Now he is 3 years old, and he knows only 7 words.

We are working on this issue.

З червня цього року ми пішли до дитячого садочку, а з вересня отримали асистента, який дуже допоміг адаптуватись дитині.

Влітку пройшли реабілітацію в Полтаві, в Центрі реабілітації дітей "Долонька добра".(вже третій місяць приймаємо препарат Гліятон, який дає нам позитивний результат). Зараз відвідуємо безкоштовний інклюзивно-ресурсний центр в Чутове і заняття у приватного логопеда-дефектолога.

Пройшли курс масажу, теж у приватного масажиста.

І на даний момент майже знайшли дитячого психолога, але він приймає в Полтаві.

В серпні 2023 року Антону виповнилось 3 роки, закінчилась декретна відпустка і я була вимушена звільнитись з роботи в місті Харків, де працювала 10 років.

На даний момент працювати не можу, бо займаюсь реабілітацією дитини.

Всі заняття і лікування вимагають постійних коштів, тому звертаюсь до небайдужих людей, які мають можливість мені допомогти.

Planet Link is a foundation that helps my three-year-old child with speech delay treatment. The foundation provided medicine, treats and a toy. The child received positive emotions and the opportunity to continue treatment!

During the Kharkiv bombardment in April 8, 2022 the family lost their home

Planet Link is very proud to sponsor and be a part of this event that took place on December 7 in Lviv Ukraine organized by Єдність Незламних. Seeing all the children smile brings great joy to our hearts and it could not be possible without everybody’s help. Thank you for supporting our cause and bringing a moment of happiness to all the kids.

Planet link is so happy with the amount of donations we’ve received. With your funding in 2024 so far, we have been able to help families and kids that lost their homes due to the war in Ukraine. We have helped them relocate to safer cities. Families who have been deprived of a warm home, clean water, and good food finally have these basic needs again. We provide children in need with school supplies so they can keep on learning without being setback by the tragedy. We provide mothers with hygienic products and families with warm clothes. We have such a strong and positive impact to those suffering from the war in Ukraine. With greater funding we have, our impact will be even bigger. Thank you, we could not have done it without all your help.
