For the year 2024, the accounts of the charitable organization "Charitable Fund 'Odigitria'" received 700 UAH.

For the entire year, 700 UAH.

"...but in 2024, a tremendous amount of work has been done: 

more than 200 parcels have been sent to places of detention via the postal service alone, 

and more than 1,000 phone calls have been made to prisoners in camps and prisons... 

It is impossible to calculate the monetary equivalent of this work...

Conversations with prisoners are a sacrifice of communication that I placed on my heart long ago to offer to God as part of my unpayable debt to Him.

Antibiotic injections.

A person who is behind bars reached out to me…

A person who is behind bars reached out to me…
He says he urgently needs medical treatment, or else he might lose his leg…
He also said that he started working in the colony.
The doctors forbade it, but he couldn’t stay away: “We are making anti-tank nets, and I want to do at least something because with my leg like this, they won’t take me to the war… So, I will do what I can…”
A person with the right heart.
I want to help him.
His name is Ihor…
I am raising funds for his medicine—I already have food for him.

Prisoners from places of detention are calling.

Prisoners from places of detention are calling. 

They ask for food—I have food for them. 

They ask for household chemicals and medicine—today, I have funds for household chemicals and medicine for them.

I don’t have a car, so I will call a taxi and take the packages to the courier, for whom I also have money.

I don’t have money to pay for the utilities of the office and warehouse of the Odigitria Charity Fund, no money to buy furniture, office, and household equipment, and no funds to purchase premises or a vehicle.

Today, I purchased and sent the following two parcels to places of detention in Ukraine:

Today, I purchased and sent the following two parcels to places of detention in Ukraine:

Immersion heaters – Ukrainian prisoners have no way to make tea or heat water.

Food, seasonings, spices – The gruel they are fed is inedible without additives.

Soap – Ukrainian prisoners are not provided with soap.

Warm socks – Ukrainian prisons are cold and damp.

Medicines – There isn’t even cotton wool in Ukrainian prison hospitals.

Today, in Ukraine, prisoners are the most vulnerable social group.

Today, in Ukraine, prisoners are the most vulnerable social group.
They have no rights.
No provisions.
They are not given clothing or footwear.
They are not provided with hygiene products or basic necessities.
They do not receive qualified legal assistance.
Medical care is provided only in life-threatening situations, and only to relieve acute conditions—and even then, not always.

I received letters from prisoners...

I received letters from prisoners...

From those who have no opportunity to make phone calls because, for this, a person must have a personal SIM card with money on it—not everyone can afford that.

I received five fresh letters.

One letter is from a prisoner serving a life sentence—he doesn’t ask for anything, he simply shares his life, his faith, and his hope.

He has already been incarcerated for 30 years…

Today, after the church service, together with the charitable organization CF Odigitria (https://mission.tyurem.net/en), we collected and sent humanitarian aid to former prisoners, who are now our defenders - soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
