Meet Natalia, operator of our hotline. Yesterday she accepted 55 calls in 1 day!❤️ «I hadn't even time to process an application and got call again. But it's all worth it, because for us it's opportunity to help people with disabilities survive during russian war against Ukraine»

FFR and @sarasminkara talked about strengthening the influence of voice of Ukrainian community of people with disabilities in the country. @sarasminkara gave us advice on improving sustainability of FFR at both national/international levels. Thanks a lot, it was a great honour!

Volodymyr from Mariupol: "2 years ago we bought a house, adapted it for me. It was a cosy place that we loved. We planted trees and flowers. It became a real home for us. We just had to leave it all. And now I'm there every day: in my thoughts, feelings, heart"💙💛 Мариуполь💔

@tanyaherasymova: I don't know how many people are prisoners in their apartments and they're prisoners twice when they are in closed institution. But people have no choice. They are dying in their bed because no one could transport them to the bomb shelters.
