At Dnipro Kids we have been overwhelmed by the incredible kindness and generosity shown by a huge amount of individuals, companies and organisations in the weeks since Russia began its attack on Ukraine on February 24.
As we have subsequently begun evacuating some of the orphanages we support, we have also received many well-intended offers from people to take one or two youngsters into their homes.
It’s important to point out, that while we do appreciate the kindness of the offers, we are ideally looking for entirely different accommodation arrangements.
The ‘family-type’ orphanages, which have evacuated through us are close-knit groups made up of between seven and 12 orphans and carers. They are essentially families, and we are working to keep them together.
Significant trauma has already been suffered by the youngsters and we feel it is important that we keep them together if we possibly can.
If you, or anyone or any organisation you know, can help us find suitable accommodation please get in touch. We need your help.
You can also support the children by sponsoring an orphanage for just £10 per month. This will help Dnipro Kids to continue to care the orphans long-term in the months and years ahead.
Any information regarding accommodation suitable for a group of at least seven-12 people can be sent to: dniprokidsappeal@gmail.com
