"She was just 7 years old. She had witnessed the invasion of her town, the dead bodies in the streets, the burning buildings, and the sounds of shelling. Her teacher said she hadn't spoken in months."
This is just one of the many stories I heard when I was in Ukraine in late April 2023. War has devastated the lives of innocent children in Ukraine, leaving scars that run deep. But together, we can make a difference.
Introducing "OPERATION: Restore Hope", a lifeline for the young souls caught in the aftermath of conflict.
