Case study: Keeping family homes heated in Ukraine
‘We just came to the village office, there were some kind people. They called around and said, ‘There’s a house.’ Maria, Ukraine
Maria and her family have sadly been displaced more than once. In 2022, they were forced to move again due to the conflict in Ukraine. They had nowhere to go and had to choose a village at random.
When they arrived, the community came together to support her family by finding them a house and helping them plant potatoes. However, winter was fast approaching, and the extreme cold was becoming a reality for the family who couldn’t afford firewood.
As the snow fell thick around their home, Maria’s family reached out to CAFOD’s local church organisation who provided them with essential firewood to heat their house, provide light and cook hot meals.
This gift can support other families like Maria’s who face extreme winters!
