New Horizons
How you can impact lives in Ukraine
Your donation provides a new roof and windows to war damaged homes in Ukraine.
According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, the war has damaged approximately 140,000 residential buildings. Another 115,000 private homes are damaged or destroyed. These numbers grow every day.
Larissa and Viktor’s home was destroyed by artillery fire in late winter 2022. The hog shed was the only structure left on their property. That’s where they were living when we met. Countless Ukrainian families are living in similar conditions.
New Horizons is turning that hog shed into a temporary home for the winter, with a roof, windows, plumbing and a wood stove for warmth. In the spring of 2023, with your help, we will build a new home for Viktor and Larissa, and many others like them.
The need in Ukraine is dire as many families live in a home with only thin plastic for windows and a tarp for a roof. A warm, dry, and safe home is a value everyone understands.
Your financial contribution will help build new roofs and windows for war damaged homes in Ukraine.
Please consider a donation to help Ukrainian families. Your gift is an investment that restores hope by keeping a family warm, dry, and safe.
As profound as the housing crisis is, another effect of this war will impact Ukraine for generations.
UNICEF reports that “two out of every three boys and girls have had to flee their homes.” The impact on children who experience the violence of war and are forced to flee is increased anxiety, fear, trouble sleeping, difficulty in school, and depression.
Left untreated, children will experience problems in learning, aggressive behavior, depression, and substance abuse as they age, affecting them into adulthood. The same symptoms are recognized in adults who have no outlet to process the trauma they have survived.
New Horizons cooperates with trauma experts to respond to loss suffered by children and their families in Ukraine. We need your help to ensure the next generation of Ukrainians has a chance for an emotionally healthy life.
Your financial donation will provide healing play camps for children and Hope Groups for adult survivors. We offer psychological first aid to equip children and adults with the tools to understand and process the horror of war they have survived.
