Today, Halyna’s life looks very different. 

“Before, everything was about solving problems,” she says. “Afterwards, I could start thinking about the future. I could rebuild. Not only my daily life, but also my role, my purpose.”

“Today my life is organized,” she says. “I feel calm. This calm is the best dream I could have.” 

That sense of calm—of refuge—is not something she takes for granted. It is something made possible through your compassionate, sustained support.

In 2025, 81,000 people received life-giving assistance thanks to $6.2 million in funding.

Families facing war and loss need more than sympathy. They need refuge.
