Helping Individuals as the Attacks Continue, Escalating Fears for a Treacherous Winter

OCTOBER 21ST 2026

‍

Over the past few days, a wave of ballistic missile and drone strikes targeted Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odessa, and other regions, damaging more than 10 energy facilities, cutting power to over 550,000 households, and killing several people. And while winter doesn’t officially arrive until December, the autumn chill has settled it, along with freezing nights. Utility workers are racing to make repairs to the power grid in advance of the dangerously cold weather season.

Our leaders, staff, and volunteers are continuing to provide desperately needed humanitarian aid to thousands of people around the country. We recently purchased medications for individuals in Odessa, young and old, who could not afford their critical prescriptions.

And we also purchased new glasses for Kostya, enabling him to fully participate in his academic and life activities.

In Zhytomyr, our soup kitchens prepare hot meals daily and even deliver them to those who are homebound.

For people in Ukraine, their days are filled with fear, trauma, loss, and despair. Thanks to our generous donors we are able to provide some comfort and relief, and in the process remind them that they are not alone and not forgotten. We provide individualized assistance to address their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Together we save lives and restore hope. 

Together we Save Lives and Restore Hope!
