The war brought a lot of suffering and the word "displaced persons" associated with the war evokes pain and a desire to help. People are different, different life paths, but everyone suffers the same. 

 

 Tatiana Polyakova was evacuated from the city of Vovchansk in May 2024, when the city was already almost destroyed. She survived the horrors of bombardment, shells flew into her home twice. She came under fire and, falling, shattered her shoulder and elbow, then there was an operation and treatment. Currently, Tatyana is waiting for the second operation. She lives in a dormitory with other displaced people, at the age of 53 she has to start organizing her life with one hand, because the evacuation was under bombing and she could not take any things. 

 

 Our Kharkiv TOS volunteers Yevdokia Wenger and Oleksandr Kolesnikov set out to help a person get used to such difficult circumstances. We thank them and colleagues of the TOS of America for their help in paying for the medicine. We hope that all wounds, physical and mental, can be overcome with love and compassion.
