In advance of Father’s Day, we want to share the poignant story of Artem, a brave Ukrainian soldier and loving father, whose unwavering devotion to his family illuminated even the darkest of times. Artem cherished his role as a father to twin girls, Emilia and Myroslava, finding purpose in their laughter and joy.
Tragically, while defending his homeland and loved ones, Artem's life was cut short by a Russian air strike, just two days after his 26th birthday. His sacrifice epitomizes the profound bravery and selflessness displayed by our heroes.
Artem's wife, Darya, now faces the challenge of raising their daughters alone. Displaced from their home in the Luhansk region, they seek temporary refuge, yearning for the day they can return to the place that holds treasured memories of their brave and wonderful father.
To honor Artem's memory and celebrate the love he cherished, we invite you to watch a heartfelt video capturing the essence of their once-happy family.
As you witness their story, we ask that you hold in your heart the tales of countless fathers like Artem, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and the future of their children. The support of our donors and partners has provided essential assistance to families like Artem's, offering them a glimmer of hope amidst their grief.
This Father's Day, we implore you to join us in honoring these fallen heroes and supporting the children they have left behind. Donations can provide crucial humanitarian and financial aid, educational support, and psychological assistance, ensuring these children receive the care they deserve and the bright future their fathers dreamed of for them.
