Dear Friends and Supporters of the Healing of Wounds of the War in Ukraine Fund,
February 24 2022 forever changed the course of history for Ukraine and her people¤ As Ukraine is attacked and Ukrainians work each day to liberate themselves from foreign invaders governments and political leaders will haggle over deals and details to find and maintain peace between Ukraine and Russia¤ But even when a final truce is signed the physical and emotional scars will remain for decades and they will even affect generations that follow¤
This is why in the wake of a war the role of Churches and other civil institutionsÈas well as people at the grassroots levelÈin the healing of the wounds of war is indispensable¤ Ukraine faces a monumental challenge to heal those who have been wounded since the start of the fullÌscale Russian invasion¤ People will be trying to overcome physical wounds and psychological and spiritual trauma for many many years¤

Healing is a process, Stawnychy pointed out.
“And it's connected, I think, both to opening ourselves up to the faith and to the sacraments as well as the gift of spiritual direction that's so powerful.”
Bishop Maksym Ryabukha, SDB, is the Exarch of the Donetsk Еxarchate of the Ukrainian-Greek Catholic Church. Half of the Exarchate territory has been occupied by the Russian army. He is one of the youngest bishops in the Church. Born in Lviv in 1980, he studied in Rome and became a Salesian priest in 2007. He worked in youth ministry and at the Apostolic Nunciature in Kyiv before becoming Auxiliary Bishop of the Donetsk Exarchate in 2022, and succeeding the Bishop of the Exarchate, Bishop Stepan Meniok, in 2024.

Program-providing psychological rehabilitation for Ukrainian women and children severely affected by the war.
Yosyf Zisels, a former Soviet dissident and political prisoner, is co-president of the Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine. In the early 1970s, he worked with the Jewish and democratic underground movements in the Soviet Union, and in 1978, joined the Ukrainian Helsinki Group. He was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison for “slanderous insinuations that denigrate the Soviet state and social order.” In 1984, he was sentenced to another three years.
He is now leading a project called Recovery During the Time of the War to provide psychological counseling to thousands of Ukrainians who have been traumatized by the Russian invasion.
“I always believe that I'm not here by accident.”

“We have created a women-support group at Three Holy Hierarchs parish in Brovary. Father Oleh is always here for us, praying together, showing support and care. We mourn our loved ones, but we also learn to trust the Lord and support each other the best we can.”
The HWF has supported eight summer camps serving over 200 children of IDPs as well as those in need. Children from eastern Ukraine have not been able to return to school after the Russian invasion, which damaged 3,428 schools and completely destroyed another 365. The remaining school buildings in the region cannot be opened because of the constant air raids and bombing. Summer rehabilitation camps conducted in western Ukraine helped the children to heal from war trauma, restoring a small part of their stolen childhood.
When the Russian missiles hit one of the largest children’s hospitals in Kyiv, Okhmatdyt, on July 8, 2024, killing and wounding innocent children and medical personnel, we rushed in to provide help. The HWF worked with our reliable partner: the Kyiv Archeparchy of the UGCC. We helped to purchase necessary medical equipment and provided air conditioning units for children who survived the bombing and were moved to other medical hospitals in Kyiv.
A “Thank you” written on the board by Anatoliy (28 years old), who is undergoing numerous facial reconstruction surgeries after being wounded by Russian shells at the Superhumans prosthetic center in Lviv. The HWF has supported the recovery efforts for Anatoliy, who currently can neither talk nor swallow.
