Help the victims of war in Ukraine

Hi, my name is Roman,

I'm raising this campaign for early education and development center Ostrova , located in the heart of Kharkiv, the second-largest city in Ukraine.

It provides various services, from education, development and daycare to maternity to the locals and is well recognized for its highest quality of service and friendly staff.

Things changed on February 24th 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine and started bombarding its territories, including the densely populated civil areas of Kharkiv.

Many innocent people died, even more were injured, and this nightmare continues as we speak.

People take shelter where they can, in the underground stations or basements.

The basement of the Ostrovas’s center has been used as a shelter for more than forty people, including a number of children. Mostly personnel, parents and their children.

On March the 3rd, the missile hit the building, caused a lot of damage and injured a few people. Thankfully no one died. But the water supply, heating and electricity were cut. With the night temperature still dropping below zero, the situation is particularly dire.

As the situation continues to deteriorate, and almost all businesses stop operating, people lose their sources of income and suffer from the shortage of basic things like food, hygiene products, baby formula, fuel, medical supplies.

For those who can and are willing to help, your contribution is greatly appreciated as it will allow these people to get through this difficult time by providing means to survive and restore their future once the situation is resolved.

With a warm heart, big thanks to everyone from Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Roman (on behalf of Staff and customers of Ostrova).
