Real strength is not only about the body, but also about the soul ❤️‍🩹

👤Meet the story of Yulia from Kherson, who, together with her son, went through many trials but found her first moral salvation.

At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, I was at home, in my apartment in the city of Kherson. My son and I woke up from explosions.

Emotional depression, constant "survival," my future crossed out. When the war started, my son was only two years old at that time.

Before the war, my life was just about to begin: career growth, independence, the opportunity to finally leave a tyrannical husband. In one moment, everything just vanished, there is no more future.

Have you noticed any improvement in your child's or your own condition after classes or consultations with specialists?

I found out about the space through acquaintances. The child longs for communication with peers. He received what he lacked so much. For me, it is always a way to mentally regain strength. For my son and me, this is the first time we found moral salvation.

The project "Region of the Future: Education, Rehabilitation, Safety of Kherson Youth" is implemented within the framework of the multi-donor project "Strengthening the Capacity of Communities in the South and East of Ukraine through Local Initiatives (EMPOWER)", funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany (BMZ) jointly with the Directorate-General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
