For most children, attention from adults is a usual part of life.
But not for the ones Tania and Nastia visited.

Many orphans - or those without available parents - don't get it very often: only from their caregivers or on holidays, like St. Nicholas Day, when volunteers bring gifts and spend some time with them.

So they decided to give these children a bit of love and care, even for a moment: we became #St. Nicholas for them.
St. Nicholas Day, celebrated on December 6, is a highly-anticipated day for #Ukrainian children. Many of them are forced to grow up early amid the cruelty of #war.

A lot of kids lose their parents in action at the frontline, under shelling, or in #Russian captivity.
So finding presents brought by St. Nicholas preserves at least a small bit of real childhood magic and the celebration they so deeply deserve.

Of the tens of thousands of children orphaned by the #war, relatives take care of the child whose parents were killed. But not everyone is lucky.
About 4,000 #children are left in institutional arrangements, where they are known as 'children deprived of parental care.'

Explosions, air-raid sirens, and rare phone calls with their parents who went to the frontline. As of the end of 2025, about 61,000 children were left orphaned due to the #Russian #war.
