Imagine if everyone you loved had fled for their lives. You have no one nearby to talk to and nowhere to turn to for comfort. You’re all alone – and no one is coming to help.
This nightmare is the reality for thousands of older people in Ukraine right now. The war has destroyed lives and livelihoods, separated millions of families and left many older people living in constant fear and loneliness.
A generous gift today could provide someone like 83-year-old Tamara, whose nerves are shattered by the constant sound of Russian shells, with a life-saving homecare worker.
Living alone in her flat in Kherson, her heart is filled with loneliness. She can’t stop the tears and she long for her life before the war; her friends, the hugs and kisses of her grandchildren.
At World Jewish Relief we are committed to providing life-changing and life-saving assistance to older people across Ukraine.
