What do we really mean when we say the simple human word “THANK YOU”? One short phrase we say every day. Sometimes sincerely, sometimes automatically, and sometimes without even thinking about its true weight. An entire human life can be contained within these words. They hold the pain of everything we have had to go through, endure, and survive. And they hold the hope that none of it was in vain. They hold anticipation and achievement, a long journey toward a goal, sleepless

There are children for whom every day is special. Not because something extraordinary necessarily happens. But because sometimes ordinary things—a peaceful sleep, a smile, a mother’s voice, the touch of a hand, a morning free of pain—become the greatest happiness. Their world is very fragile. It holds much that is unseen by outsiders: many anxieties, sleepless nights, and unspoken questions. And much love that learns, day by day, to be stronger than exhaustion. It also holds

On May 2, we were together in Stryiskyi Park at the charity marathon Distance for a Difference 4.0. We ran. We walked. We rode bicycles. We supported. We donated. Some covered their kilometers; others were simply there beside us. And today we want to show you this video.⬇️ Because a marathon ends, but its impact doesn’t. What we did together in May has turned into real help. And today we want to say THANK YOU once again: To the Symphony Solutions and the project ambassador, V

“Hello! On August 20, the day of my 58th birthday, I invite you to join my charity campaign, “58 Days of Recovery. What’s Your Next Step?” One day. Life doesn’t pass in years. It passes in days. Three hundred and sixty-five times a year, we receive the same gift — twenty-four hours. Some people rush through them. Some put things off until tomorrow. And some try to fill them with meaning. This year, my day will be different. The 24 hours of my 58th birthday will not be spent a

Today we share special footage with you. In this video, the employees of our children's mobile hospice unload a large and long-awaited aid: 25 boxes containing 200 packages of the most comfortable disposable diapers from the SENI brand. 📦✨This is part of the large-scale aid that the Charity Foundation "With an Angel on a Shoulder" was able to purchase thanks to the funds raised during the charity initiative "Distance for a difference 4.0" What does this mean for our little w

Usually, when people think that rehabilitation for soldiers with amputations is about physical exercises, prosthetics, physiotherapy, and constant pain, they’re right—but only partly. Physical rehabilitation is only the first step on the road back to a full life for someone who has endured severe physical pain and the loss of a part of their body. Social, psychological, and emotional rehabilitation are important and inseparable parts of the long rehabilitation process. Hippot

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. After his release, he said simple but incredibly powerful words: “Captivity changed my life completely. 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. Today, together with his wife and son, he is recovering in the picturesque Skhidnytsia, where the Charity Fund “With an Angel on the Shoulder” gifted their family the opportunity for rest and rehabilitation at the wonderful Hotel TuStan. 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

January 22 — Day of Unity of Ukraine. The charity foundation "With an Angel on a shoulders" this evening once again emphasized that unity is, first of all, action. This is when the front and volunteers are nearby. When the military, philanthropists, musicians, and entrepreneurs stand shoulder to shoulder for Ukraine. The charity evening "Unity Network" united us in joint prayer, caroling, and work, weaving camouflage nets that protect the lives of our Defenders, who hold t

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
