Meet the Chepiga family (pictured here) from the Donetsk region. They moved to the city of Kropivnitsky, in May, when it became too dangerous to stay in their home. They asked one of their neighbors to care for their farm animals while they were away. A week later the neighbor was killed and the animals eventually died. In June, the Chepiga's were welcomed into one of JRNU’s community centers that had been converted into temporary housing. Their hopes of one day returning home were dashed when they received news that their house was destroyed and belongings stolen by looters. They are grateful for the support from JRNU that has sustained them during this difficult time.
