FEEDBACK FROM BENEFICIARIES
Olena with her daughter Maria (3 years old) from Pokrov
I learned about Help Point from a friend. I couldn’t even imagine that during the war I would find so many useful things for myself and my daughter here. I did yoga, and now I am taking a series of classes in a group with a psychologist called “My True Self.” I realised that I need to take care of myself, and I am learning how to restore my resources. I have become more confident. My daughter and I attend creative classes and sand therapy. We are grateful that you exist; your place is very cosy!

Oleksandr (11 years old, mother is in the military). Kozachi Laheri village, Kherson region
I missed my home, but then I found out that there is a place in Pokrov where I can do what I like and communicate with children like me. I attend all the computer literacy classes and was very happy to find out that there is a 3D printer. I am learning to model and already print things myself. I feel good and calm here.

Ivan Petrovich (63), Avdiivka, Donetsk region.
I attended a group therapy session with a psychologist, which helped me reduce my anxiety and talk about my problems. I am very grateful for the Mobile Assistant classes; the knowledge and advice I gained have significantly improved my life. I believe that such a project has a right to exist and is very helpful to us.
