We want to start by saying THANK YOU, for caring and supporting. We are beyond grateful! Here are some updated on work we have done so far:
Updates on Kharkiv, Ukraine.
As of 03/11 Eva and I are working on establishing connections within the Ukrainian volunteer groups in Kharkiv and other Ukrainian cities besides actively providing housing and additional essential support to the Ukrainian refugees in Latvia.
We have partnered up with the Charity Foundation Stabilization Support Services in Ukraine (CF SSS), a non-profit NGO specializing in building governmental capacity to protect rights and provide social services to conflict-affected individuals. Right now they are able to provide meals for approximately 500 people daily, 2 euros per person.
We are in contact with Eva's friend Victoria, she is working and living now with her interns in Kharkiv hospital. We are sending funds to her personal account, so she can share the support with people who need it right away.

In Latvia, we are helping several families in SOS ciemats https://www.sosbernuciemati.lv/en as they arrive from Ukraine. We have several amazing volunteers helping to prepare beds, food and make sure families are safe and feed.
We are financially supporting several Latvian families who have taken in refugees in their homes to make this easier on everyone. I have to add that Ukrainian people are very proud and grateful and don't want to be taken care of, a lot of them are looking for jobs and ways to make their own money and support their families. We all admire their strength.
Our goal is to establish a long-term partnership with the organizations and individuals who have access to children affected by the current situation in Ukraine.
As Eva's mom is still in Ukraine and is refusing to leave her animals behind, (5 dogs, 15 cats and the numbers are growing) we are supporting several animal shelters in her name.
With all of your help, we sent financial aid to the three privately owned animal shelters in Kharkiv, Ukraine. All three volunteer-run facilities are located in the war zone and, at this point, are overwhelmed with the number of abandoned animals. Your donation today helped feed over 100 dogs and more than 150 cats.
Shchyro Dyakuemo! Thank you! Paldies!

Inese & Eva
