FIREFLIES
Would you become the fireflies in this darkest hour for Ukraine bringing light and warmth along with hope and faith to those in hospitals?
The Russian Federation has been fiercely attacking essential energy infrastructure all over Ukraine aiming for total economic collapse and even more devastation.
Hospitals, clinics, delivery hospitals, kindergartens, schools and residential buildings remain without power and heat for many days in a row in cold and darkness.
We now raise funds to buy powerful generators to be installed in hospitals close to the front line where doctors save the wounded and treat civilians.
Please support us in raising funds to buy generators for Ukrainian hospitals!
Every dollar and euro matter.
