💔 The war has left a poignant story in the life of every Ukrainian.

Olena from Novovorontsovka shares hers. Despite all the trials, she maintains faith in Ukraine's victory.

"My name is Olena. I live in the village of Novovorontsovka and am raising three children on my own.

Like for all Ukrainians, the morning of February 24, 2022, was unexpected and terrible. It was hard to believe that war had come to our home. 

We didn't want to leave our native home, but over time, we were forced to evacuate to Kryvyi Rih. However, we weren't there for long. When the security situation improved, we returned home.

We faced many challenges and trials in our lives during the war. Our house was hit. It's horrifying. I still remember it...

I am incredibly grateful for the tablets. They will help the children learn online more effectively. It's a great joy for the children, and for me — it's real support.

I believe in Ukraine's victory and a bright future for our country."
