Christmas this year is not like the previous one that the world is used to.

Christmas this year is not like the previous one that the world is used to.
There will be no bright lanterns, no Christmas carols, and no watching Christmas movies in Ukrainian homes. There will be no smell of pine needles and Christmas decorations, no marshmallow cocoa, no smell of mom’s pie.
These are the details that create the joyful atmosphere of Christmas in the modern, civilized world. This is all what we are used to and what our children are used to.
But this year Christmas was stolen from us…
Stolen?
But is it possible to steal what belongs to God? Is it possible to rob the Mighty and Almighty God, before whom the earth trembles and the tongue is dumb?
Our atmosphere was stolen, but it is impossible to steal Christmas!
It will still be in Ukraine, and no matter how strange it is written, this year’s Christmas is similar to the first, on which the Son of God was born.
The first Christmas took place in almost darkness, the barely flickering muzzle of an oil lamp. The first Christmas was in terrible conditions of unsanitary conditions and chaos. The first Christmas was under occupation.
The stable and the smelly manger were chosen by God to become closer to those who are now in the cellars and trenches. Blackout was chosen by God to be a Light for people who are perishing in darkness. He chose inhumane and very difficult conditions to feel all the despair of a Ukrainian who was left homeless and with extraordinary losses for every family that bears losses.
Leaving the throne room of Heaven, Glory and Majesty, the Son of God took on human form, because he wanted to share the pain of the oppressed people, he wanted to wipe the tears of mothers, look into the eyes of executioners, and give his life for his brothers.
In the occupation, Hope can be born…
Light can be born in darkness…
Peace can descend into chaos.
A Child can be born in suffering.
Evil is doomed…
Merry Christmas!

Villages of Kazarovichi and Demydiv. Vyshgorod district.

🆘 Villages of Kazarovichi and Demydiv. Vyshgorod district.
Our visits to the residents of these villages who suffered during the occupation by the Russian invaders continue.
Many of them lost their relatives, lost their sole breadwinner, and most of them lost their homes.
⠀
A fierce winter is ahead.
Winter that scares us all.
People freeze.
With babies in their arms and elderly parents, they stay outdoors.
On the ruins.
⠀
The International Foundation World Central Kitchen @wckitchen gave them another batch of humanitarian aid. Product sets at the rate of 1 set per family of 4 people.
⠀
We have coordinated the transfer of aid. They took it away and handed it over.
⠀
Many thanks to our partners @wckitchen for their help and humanity.
⠀
Our Valery Pirogovsky Foundation continues to collect funds for heaters, building materials, and basic necessities just for them.

The war that started 8 years ago changed Ukraine forever. But the world did not notice this.

The author of the art is Andriy Sagach.

And on February 24, we all woke up from intense pain and rage because the bastards of the neighboring state are tearing our native land to pieces with cruise missiles.
⠀
We had a choice: fight or die and lose the very possibility of being called Ukrainians.
⠀
🇺🇦 Ukrainians chose struggle!
⠀
Today, the whole world is proud and admires Ukraine.
⠀
And we honor our heroes!
Those who chose to fight at the cost of their own lives.
We respect
Let’s pray.
We are waiting for the return and Victory.
⠀
🇺🇦 Happy Defender of Ukraine Day!

Mutual aid in these difficult days for Ukrainians is more important than ever.

This is a pledge of faith, inspiration, and our Victory.
⠀
Thanks for the help to our friends @vadim9432 @_cochebomba_ and @nika_bielska who organized the transfer of 612 kg of humanitarian aid to us.
⠀
Personal care products, cleaning products and long-awaited medicines: cold medicine, pain relievers and first aid kits.
⠀
These funds will be part of the humanitarian aid kits from the Valery Pirogovskyi Foundation.
⠀
We will pack and hand over the kits first of all to families who have left the territories where the fighting is currently going on and to the residents of the villages of Demydiv and Kozarovichi, who fall under the category of DPR.
⠀
Thank you very much for your help.

We sincerely hope for continued cooperation.

 

About us!

Charity foundation was founded in 2019 by initiative of Valeriy Pirogovskiy to help people in need. Our foundation is a small motivated and friendly team of like-minded people. People devoted to their people and their country.

For half a year of the war, our foundation has helped and still helps different segments of the population:

  • more than 2,000 IDPs who lost their homes and suffered from the Russian aggressor;
  • people with disabilities, at the moment there are already more than 100 people;
  • nursing home;
  • the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard and the police;
  • large families with difficult living conditions.

🇺🇦 The “BezMezh” charitable organization, with the support of the Valery Pirogovsky Foundation, takes care of almost 50 elderly people with disabilities.

Currently, in these bloody and difficult times for all of us, they need attention and help.
⠀
Helpless and lonely elderly people with disabilities who are overlooked have no chance of survival without support.
⠀
Everyone has the right to life.
⠀
Food products, hygiene products, medicines and small, at first glance, things are very necessary for them right now.

EVERYTHING WILL BE UKRAINE! GLORY TO HER HEROES!

Our humanitarian mission continues.

Every Kyivite, sipping fragrant coffee in the morning in his cozy apartment, should realize that he has a home only because the residents of Demydov and Kazarovich sacrificed theirs.
⠀
They lost everything.
Houses, gardens, vegetable gardens, furniture, clothes.
⠀
Thanks to the participation of our partners @wckitchen, we distributed food kits enough for 2 weeks to the residents of these villages.
⠀
But this is not enough.

Winter is ahead.
People need medicine, blankets, warm things, many things.
⠀
We have to help them.
⠀
We owe them. Not only Kyivans. Almost all of Ukraine is to blame for them.
⠀
Get involved to help.
We will be grateful for any help.

Demydiv and Kozarovichi. This is what The New York Times wrote about these villages in April.

“In the first days of the invasion, the Armed Forces destroyed the dam on the Irpin River, turning these villages into an impassable quagmire, thereby stopping the advance of the Russian army on Kyiv.”
⠀
In fact, thanks to them, Kyiv gained time and had time to prepare for defense.
⠀
After 6 months, villages are still suffering from floods.
⠀
There are many lonely elderly people among local residents.
Gardens and gardens died. Water in artesian wells is unsuitable. Water is now imported. Houses fall apart due to dampness and are covered with mold. Damaged furniture and personal belongings.
⠀
They don’t have enough food or water, they have nowhere to sleep, nothing to shelter in, and being modest pensioners, they are reduced to pumping water.
⠀
Winter is ahead.
⠀
Our team went to these villages to see everything with their own eyes and find out how we can help them.
