The team of the East SOS Charitable Foundation helped nine people evacuated from frontline communities in Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, who were temporarily living in Dnipro, to find further accommodation in western Ukraine.
The people were evacuated from the city of Druzhkivka, the villages of Mirne and Serhiivka in Donetsk region, and the settlements of Pokrovske and Ukrainka in Dnipropetrovsk region. For some time, they lived in the Social Adaptation Center for People with Disabilities of the NGO Ocean of Good.
Three women went to a residential care home in Volyn region, which was made possible thanks to cooperation with the Donetsk and Volyn Regional State Administrations, the Druzhkivka City Council, and the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine.
Another man and two women found shelter in a residential care home in Kalush, and two women in the village of Stetsova in Ivano-Frankivsk region. The team of the East SOS Charitable Foundation renovated these homes and furnished them with furniture and appliances. One woman was resettled to the village of Kraiv in Rivne region.
Among those rescued were 75-year-old Valentina and her husband. Their home in the village of Myrne was destroyed by a Russian drone. During the evacuation, Valentina found a small toy rabbit – a talisman that became a symbol of her journey to safety.
Behind each of these stories is systematic work. The team at the East SOS Charitable Foundation not only evacuates people, but also helps people with limited mobility with resettlement, psychological and legal support, document restoration, and medical care.
