It happened in the middle of the night, while the world slept.
No camera crews. No breaking news alert. Just an explosion, and by morning, our kindergarten in Odesa lay in ruins.
You won’t have seen it on the news. But this is the reality behind the headlines; the news that shapes daily life for the children, families and elderly people Tikva supports.
More than four years since the invasion began, the headlines have moved on.
Yet every single day, amid blackouts and air raid sirens, life continues and Tikva is there.
Children continue their lessons in shelters and temporary classrooms. Vulnerable families receive essential food. Search and rescue teams help children in danger. In Bucharest, refugees are given the care they need to rebuild their lives.
This Rosh Hashana, please help us ensure that whatever tomorrow’s headlines bring, our children, families and elderly will have the safety, care and hope that only Tikva can provide.
