OUR CASES
Kyrylo
8 years old, displaced from Mariupol
In Mariupol, Kyrylo was diagnosed with certain developmental differences. He is now actively working with specialists and has made significant progress, but he still requires ongoing support.
We were able to provide him with a new folding bed, ensuring he has a comfortable place to sleep even during air raid alerts.
Recently, Kyrylo’s hearing deteriorated, so we launched a charity fundraiser for a hearing aid—and now, he finally has it!
Varvara
5 years old, displaced from Zaporizhzhia
After #CAMPBERI, we began working with Varvara’s mother, Kseniia, to help stabilize her emotional state.
Today, our focus is on Kseniia’s eldest daughter, Varvara. She has developmental differences and is continuing her sessions with a corrective psychologist. Varvara is already showing significant progress, and we are grateful to be by her side on this journey.
Angelina
11 years old, displaced from Bakhmut
Angelina and her mother participated in #CAMPBERI, where they received psychological support. Thanks to this, they overcame emotional challenges, improved their communication, and learned how to take care of their emotional well-being.
Currently, we are actively working on Angelina’s emotional state, particularly on developing her sense of justice and managing aggression. She is already making progress in recognizing her emotions and expressing them in a healthy way.
Yeva
9 years old, Kyiv
Yeva has flat-valgus feet, and one of her legs is slightly longer than the other. She had outgrown her previous shoes and needed new orthopedic boots and custom insoles.
Together with Yeva, we carefully selected everything she needed to support her health and comfort.
Raphael
Displaced from Zaporizhzhia
We received a request from Olga, a mother of three raising her children alone. The family, originally from Zaporizhzhia, is now living in the region.
Her son, Raphael, had been attending online classes using a phone, as they didn’t have a laptop.
We provided them with a much-needed laptop, and now he can study comfortably!
Mykhailo
Displaced from Zaporizhzhia
Mykhailo’s journey began at #CAMPBERI, where he attended his first consultation with a psychologist. Seeing the positive impact, his mother requested continued support at home in Zaporizhzhia.
We provided Mykhailo with individual psychological guidance, and after just a few sessions, we saw remarkable changes—he started smiling more and showing greater interest in the world around him.
