“When our home in Donetsk, Ukraine was hit by a mortar shell during the fighting between the government and separatist forces last year, I was rendered temporarily deaf and knew I could no longer survive there. Now, my husband of 56 years and I are among the 2,700 Jews who have left our homes and are receiving help from Federation’s overseas partners. Thanks to this support, my husband and I have been able to move to a safer place, have our basic needs met and supplement our limited resources with many essentials.” – Raisa L.
