1 in 10 people in Chernihiv homeless and relying daily on this supply chain.

Hi everyone, a message here below from our friend Elena (coordinating the chain of goods to Chernihiv). Together we (you, friends and friends-of-friends with the brothers in Utrecht) are continuing to support Chernihiv's people. One fact that Elena mentions - 10% of Chernihiv's citizens are now homeless and relying on this supply chain's support. Please read. Your help is going quicker than ever before to these people in need.

Dear friends,
In Chernihiv 101 high-rise buildings were destroyed (it has a direct hit), that is 9,652 apartments. Another 551 houses were damaged by shell explosions nearby, the total number of apartments - 37 649, official statement of the local authorities.
It means every 10-th citizen of Chernihiv don’t have place to live. I know some people are still in the city basements as they don’t have home any more.
All area is in mins after Russian occupation. How long will it take to clean it up?
During the fighting Russian troops destroyed in purpose a memorial at the main cemetery to soldiers who died in the Russian-Ukrainian war during 2014-2021.
Every day I admire the work of Chernihiv volunteers. All the medicine you send need to be checked. Few group of volunteers have pharmacists. Olga - pediatrician. In the morning and until noon she is at work with children, and in the afternoon she helps to thousands of people to receive medicine for the adress delivery of volunteers “Trinity” Дмитрий Ткаченко
The monitor for the Chernihiv regional hospital was purchased by the community of Hamilton from New Zealand Paula Southgate Mayor of Hamilton. Locals held a charity market , and collected help went to Chernihiv. The hospital remains the basic hospital of the region where the wounded are treated. On average, there are 300 patients. Thank you for coordinating Roman V. Kashpirand the volunteer movement @ go.svoyim for prompt delivery from Lviv.
Any kind of Elite animals can be found on the streets of Chernihiv today. They were abandoned by their owners. Alexander from Alexandrovka area saves exhausted tails. Animal feed was collected by volunteers @ lisa.hlkl in Munich. They also donated humanitarian aid for Chernihiv defenders.
The girl whom I never seen just offered 10 go pro cameras from Amsterdam. It was already delivered through Єдиний Волонтерський Центр. Чернігів to the militaries and brave journalist Александр Котенко. Thank you, Anastasia. for such an important help.
Brother Leopold from the Netherlands works as a real delivery service. He brings food to the most poor people in Chernihiv. For me it’s still very hard to see pictures of all people in Chernihiv.
Meanwhile the spring is coming. Ukrainians are preparing their gardens to the season. Sometimes it’s with tanks at the backyards.
Stay safe and Slava Ukraini.

A video from Br Leopold in the Chernihiv supply centre.

  Here a well-made short video from the supply centre in Chernihiv where br Leopold has been helping the distribution teams take vital aid to villages in the region. Many people there are homeless or living in houses which do not protect from rain and cold anymore. With infrastructures destroyed or damaged and employment completely disrupted, many many people (especially the most fragile) depend on these teams bringing them food and medicine. Please keep helping.

FOLLOW-UP OF OUR NOVEMBER MISSION

 Thanks to your gifts, a tremendous work has been accomplished under the leadership of Sacha to bring some comfort to some of the most hardest hit by the hardships of the war. Another part of the donation was used to buy the materials needed for the fixing roofs, floors and walls. No more suitable work to keep us warm in the Chernihiv winter. 

BoMozhemo's Roof Brigade

 After the frame has been repaired, covered with plastic sheeting, and the asbestos delivered, the strike team can go into action, summoned by a post on Telegram, in the evening as usual. The side is picked. And off we go : the first sheet of asbestos can be sent for fitting and nailing by the roof climbers.  The asbestos rise at a steady pace, sometimes slowed down by the necessary trimming, but the laughter and joyful exchanges continue uninterrupted until well after dark, when the roof is completely covered.
