Over €10.000 in 2.5 weeks! And it's already become food, water, medicine and diesel for the most needy.

Hi everyone, I had Covid recently so I wasn't posting so much here. But every day your donations are coming in and we've passed the €10.000 mark int he space of 2.5 weeks! This money has already been channelled into food, water, medical supplies and diesel. As Chernihiv and it's surrounding villages were liberated during the past week the horrors and hardships of the Russian occupation were laid bare. The survivors emerged after 4 weeks of hiding from danger day and night. At this point it became urgent to get the aid supplies quickly round to the villages, towns and farms where people had been cut off. In the past few days we've been alble to help fund the diesel costs of small teams of volunteers driving (especially medical) supplies around the area. Br Leopold is with these teams right now. Please keep supporting the people of Chernihiv as they begin the painful road of recovery.

TIME TO GO BACK

Work is now completed in Yevgueni and Tania's house. But so many people are still exposed to the cold in bombed houses. With your generosity, we hope to go back and show them that they are not alone in the tribulation, that the victory is where there is hope and solidarity.

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. Another family protected from the elements.

The work goes on

The house of Sonia and Igor was hit by four artillery shots and totally destroyed last year. Fortunately they were in a safe place with their daughter Nikita at the time, and Igor is a professionnal builder. Couragously they worked tirelessly with the help of BoMozhemo, and here they are putting the floor and the electricity. It is a grace to share these days with them, sorting out bricks salvaged from the ruins, crushing them with a sledgehammer for cement or putting the greenhouse back together with its promise of borsch, and other traditional vegetable dishes.
