All we can do in these terrifying and difficult times is to keep going — and to help those who are the most vulnerable.

Recently, we visited the private social institution for orphans with disabilities, Happy Home, which is part of the international charitable foundation U Koli Druziv ("In the Circle of Friends").

Happy Home opened in 2019, and today it’s home to 8 children with severe diagnoses who were abandoned by their biological parents. Thanks to charitable donations, the center's team does everything possible to provide these children with rehabilitation, adaptation, and a full, meaningful life. By the way, children from this home are eligible for adoption — and there are already a few beautiful stories with happy endings.

Our team came to learn about the most urgent needs and to understand how we can help. Together with Oksana Sydorchuk, the head of the U Koli Druziv foundation, we discussed the first steps of our support. We are deeply grateful to Kateryna Rozora, who saw the shared values in our work and connected us with this incredible project.

Every child in Happy Home is cared for, open, and eager for connection. We were happy to bring them a bit of joy — toys, gifts, coloring books. The kids immediately began unpacking, becoming little explorers in their own world. It was an incredibly emotional meeting. We’re grateful to have been in the right place at the right time and to have met these little rays of sunshine.

There’s nothing more fulfilling than giving a smile to someone who truly needs care and attention. And this is just the beginning of our cooperation!

P.S. A heartfelt thank you to our loyal partners: Bontoy for the toys, Rukzachok publishing for the coloring books, and to all our friends for their help!
