Olga, Luhansk

Across the conflict stricken regions of Ukraine diabetes festers due to the war. The war has resulted in there being no medical support in the disputed territories. Along with the stresses the conflict brings and the struggle to provide children with a healthy diet, children are suffering with a severe lack of insulin and healthy food causing distress for single parents and families. ChildAid is working tirelessly with local volunteers to supply these children with insulin, medicine and food.
Olga is the grandmother of four-year-old Kiril. 

Kiril was too unwell to travel when she collected the insulin provided by our volunteers. Like so many children in eastern Ukraine, he does not have access to much needed insulin and other medicines. The conflict has caused prices to sky-rocket and has left vulnerable families unable to care for their sick children. At the time of delivering the medicine, Kiril was extremely ill with his temperature sometimes reaching as high a 40C.

 When Olga came to us she was filled with gratitude and towards our volunteers, donors and God. She asks for her family to be considered in prayer as she fights to keep them healthy. 

 She told our volunteers how many of her neighbours have died since the fighting began in Luhansk, she says they have simply been forgotten and left to die.
