Teddy bears for Ukraine
We were so proud to be part of a relief effort for children in Ukraine. Volunteers went to a village called Kuz'myntsi in Vinnytsia Oblast. The children were already waiting at the local administration building where many families are living after they were displaced from their homes during the war. Their situation is rather grim; no furniture, families sleep on the floor, they have a need for clothing and school supplies.
These gift packages and teddy bears genuinely made them light up, it was a form of kindness that they are unaccustomed to, and the bears were quite a hit, they were running everywhere and playing. To quote our volunteer; "No matter what, children should have a childhood and believe in New Year's miracles."🧸
