Your Support Creates Sanctuaries of Hope
In the heart of Ukraine’s ongoing crisis, there exists a place whose name embodies its mission: Misto Dobra—the City of Goodness. This sanctuary represents exactly what your support of our Every Child Deserves a Future campaign makes possible: a haven where vulnerable children and their mothers find safety, healing, and hope amid unimaginable circumstances. Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine has left countless families without homes, stability, or access to essential services.
Through our partnership with Misto Dobra, your generosity created a lifeline for 325 individuals this past winter, including mothers with children who lost everything in the war, orphaned children, and children battling severe illnesses who require specialized care.
The winter months brought particular challenges, with power outages threatening the continuity of critical medical services for children with severe diagnoses. Your support allowed the shelter to pay their power bills and purchase enough diesel to keep generators running, maintaining heat, electricity, and the operation of Misto Dobra’s medical center during the coldest days.
With your generosity, their medical team managed to procure vital medicines for the children in rehabilitation and palliative care. They were able to purchase essential nutritious foods—meats, cheeses, grains, vegetables, and fruits—providing balanced meals for families during their most vulnerable time. The shelter’s team secured hygiene supplies including toilet paper, towels, wet wipes, garbage bags, laundry detergent, and adult diapers, ensuring dignity and cleanliness for families rebuilding their lives. Beyond the physical necessities of medicine, food, and hygiene supplies, your contributions provided something equally vital: the assurance that these children and their families have not been forgotten.
Your donation to our Every Child Deserves a Future campaign, running until June 23rd, strengthens these sanctuaries and extends their reach. It ensures that when a child arrives—whether returning from forced displacement in Russia or fleeing violence within Ukraine—they enter a space where healing can begin, and dreams can gradually be rekindled.
Will you stand with Ukraine’s children today by making a donation?
Your support transforms uncertainty into security, trauma into healing, and despair into hope—one child at a time.
