Ukraine Emergency

There are many adolescents hosted at the Caritas Spes center for internally displaced persons in the Carpathians. They are young people who want life and a future.

Mrs. Victoria is now safe in a Caritas-Spes shelter in western Ukraine, but her only plans for the future are to return.

It seemed impossible to find a corner of peace in Ukraine, yet Olena and many displaced people like her were welcomed in a Caritas-Spes center located in the Carpathian Mountains. Here “the human soul heals”.

A family with five children found shelter at the Caritas-Spes Ukraine center, where they can finally breathe a little peace: the children play, draw, and distract themselves from everything they have experienced since the beginning of the war.

“I kept thinking, ‘We left hell to blow ourselves up here on a mine.’ But God saved us again. When we entered the territory under the control of the Ukrainian army, we kissed and hugged everyone who was there.”
