February started frosty, windy, as if it wanted to justify its name. But our volunteers paid no attention to this, as well as to the constant alarms and shelling, and simply did their job.

This time, delicious and nutritious meals for forty wounded people at the hospital of the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine were prepared by a large experienced team: Nina Rozdobutko, Halyna Yakovleva, Tetyana Horobchuk, Tetyana Kolyada, Valentina Matsykh, and the couple Tetyana Kozachynska and Yuriy Sharamet. They also put the food in portions into boxes. Moreover, almost all the products were purchased at their own expense. And by the way, the prices of products have increased significantly now. The Berezansky family bought groceries and fruit with donations from relatives and neighbors, packed everything in barrels and bags. Serhiy Shapoval bought water and brought everything to the hospital with his own transport. With him were Natalia Berezanska, Valentina Matsykh, Tetyana Kozachynska and Larisa Kuprienko. They carried everything around the floors, carried it around the wards and distributed it to the wounded. Larisa brought children's drawings from schoolchildren, which are always received with great joy by the sick.

 

We thank all our volunteers for their selfless service, love and devotion. We are grateful to all those who financially supported this action, special thanks to our distant colleagues from TOS from New Zealand for their targeted financial assistance. We hope for a just end to the war, the restoration of peace.
