6 good things we did together within the Caritas for Ukraine fundraising campaign

This winter, Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid caused extensive power outages. As the war entered its fifth year, households were left without heating, electricity, or water during extremely low temperatures. People in the Czech Republic did not hesitate to show their solidarity. In this article, you will learn where the help from your contributions to the Caritas for Ukraine fundraising campaign was directed. Together, we were able to provide immediate assistance, for example, in Kyiv and Kharkiv. We have shown that our support is unbreakable—just like the determination and courage of the people of Ukraine. Thank you!

The bombing blew out windows and doors. The shelter's residents in Kryvyi Rih found comfort with Caritas Czech Republic

On the eve of winter, damp and cold prevailed in the rooms of the Polytechnic College dormitory in the frontline town of Kryvyi Rih. A drone attack damaged the windows of the building, sheltering more than 120 evacuees from the combat zone. Most of them are single elderly people and people with disabilities. As part of a life-saving aid project, we replaced the windows so that the shelter's residents could stay warm.

You are rays of sunshine. 3,000 people near the front line received essentials and solid fuel to survive the frosts

Winter during wartime is a dangerous trial for the front-line communities. Much of the infrastructure here is damaged. Electricity is almost non-existent, and homes can only be heated with firewood. Zoya Mykolayivna lives in a village 30 km from the combat zone in Dnipropetrovsk region. It is extremely difficult for a lonely pensioner to survive the cold. We do not leave such people alone in their hardship and deliver solid fuel and winter kits so that they can feel warmth and care again.

We also stopped by a shop called „Something Interesting“, which sells blown glass products typical of the town. Oleksandra works as the shop’s accountant. She moved to Lviv from Zaporizhzhia before the war began. She did not plan to settle down, but the conflict has extended her stay indefinitely.

A lifesaving firewood stove. Little Evelina's family will survive the winter in warmth thanks to donated solid fuel

The war forced two-year-old Evelina and her parents, Yevhen and Marjana, to flee their hometown of Marganets in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The family settled in a rural house, where the only source of warmth in winter is an old wood-burning stove. Due to unemployment and the rising cost of solid fuel, it is extremely difficult to heat the house throughout the winter, so the family is grateful for the help provided by Caritas Czech Republic and the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.
