Gleb is 6 years old. He and his family live in Uman. Until February 24, they lived in Kharkov, where Gleb went to kindergarten. The war turned his life upside down, causing his family to flee the city with nothing but Gleb’s favorite toy!
The family moved several times over the summer and hoped to return to Kharkov in August so Gleb could attend first grade, along with all his friends. Sadly, that wasn’t possible as the city continues to be under attack daily. JRNU has tried to help Gleb and his family make the most of a difficult situation, providing him with a new backpack he takes to school, filled with all types of school supplies and even toys. Gleb keeps his pack close by at all times, in case his family has to flee again.
