Two and a half years without seeing your loved ones. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Fighting for your life every single day… Two and a half years. That is how long Yevhen Taranenko was held in captivity—a reserve captain and serviceman of the 36th Separate Marine Brigade.

For me, it’s a story that constantly proves what a person is capable of—what inner strength each

There are people who, after everything they’ve been through, dream only of peace and quiet. And then there are those who, having endured the darkest trials, find the strength to stand up for Ukraine once again. Today we had the opportunity to speak with one of our defenders who has returned from Russian captivity. Together with his wife, he is now recovering at the beautiful “TuStan” Hotel in Skhidnytsia, thanks to the Charity Fund “With an Angel on a Shoulder”. What moves us

There are meetings after which you keep smiling for a long time… Today we had the honor of speaking with Volodymyr — a man who spent more than three years in Russian captivity.

When you look into the eyes of people like him, you understand ev

Half a year ago, Oleksandr returned from Russian captivity. After many long years of imprisonment, he is learning to live again—to breathe freely, to feel what freedom truly means. The road to recovery is not easy, but every day spent close to his loved ones, among the Ukrainian mountains and people who genuinely care, helps him regain strength. Our Charity Fund “With an Angel on the Shoulder” is honored to gift Oleksandr a rehabilitation getaway in Skhidnytsia, at the welcom

Life-Saving • Ongoing • Essential Chain: a need (a mother’s plea for her sick child, requests from military medics, and other urgent appeals) → a call from blood service staff → our volunteer team working on the request → reaching out to donors → a donor’s visit to the blood center → donation → the journey of that precious package of healing liquid to the life-saving transfusion… A process that never stops for a moment… And it is the people in this chain that the team of the

Do you know what the best rehabilitation is for soldiers released from captivity? It's PEOPLE! Looks, tears and smiles, acceptance, sincere conversations, the ability to listen, love, gratitude and a desire to help! A person needs a person!! When they returned from captivity, they were very worried about whether they would be remembered, whether they would be needed by society, which had lived without them for many years. Will they accept them? Will they understand the change
