Vladyslav (7), Dmytro (5) and Taras (6) are three brothers growing up in Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine. Their father was seriously injured while defending his country and the family lives in a village, in difficult circumstances. “Our partners visited the family and passed on your gifts to them personally,” says Ivan Hontar who leads the work of Ukrainian charity Light of the Reformation, based in the city of Ternopil. “The children really liked the toys and sweets which they found in their boxes. The parents appreciated that the gifts included practical items such as clothes and toiletries.”

With the invasion in its fourth year, the overall number of injured Ukrainian soldiers is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.
