We Share

On June 3, a special event was held in Zhytomyr for 15 orphaned children and children without parental care. The celebration was organized by Olha Vyshnevska, who relocated from Kharkiv, together with the “Grow in Family” Foundation.

Grandmothers in Odesa who are raising orphaned children on their own were invited to enjoy complimentary beauty services. These older guardians devote their time, energy, and care to the children every day and often have little time or money left to focus on themselves.

The Beauty Without Age charity event has returned to Odesa. Launched by the “Grow in Family” Foundation, the project gives grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren on their own a chance to enjoy some well-deserved time for themselves.

On Family Day, we decided to share five stories of children supported by the “Grow in Family” Foundation. After losing their parents, these children were able to remain within their families instead of entering institutional care, thanks to grandparents who stepped in to raise and support them.

A fundraising campaign is helping orphaned children experience a summer getaway, many for the very first time. The project is supported by Ukrainian streaming service MEGOGO and by Kurazh Bazaar, where visitors contributed donations in exchange for charity merchandise.

During the PSG vs Arsenal broadcast, MEGOGO will also support a fundraiser by the “Grow in Family” Foundation for the Sunny Dreams project. The initiative creates safe, supportive experiences for orphaned children through summer camps and educational trips across Ukraine, giving them the chance to feel cared for, included, and supported.

I believe in being honest about what mentorship really means. It is not simply about showing up and spending a pleasant afternoon with a child. We spoke with mentors about their experiences, how this form of support has evolved, and what it actually means to become a trusted older friend in a child’s life.

The “Grow in Family” Foundation and MEGOGO are launching a major fundraising campaign to help orphaned children enjoy a safe, joyful, and memorable summer break.
