A truck that covered thousands of kilometers and a long, dangerous journey from the Netherlands has already arrived in the Odesa region. This is not just humanitarian aid — it is a sign of support for hundreds of Ukrainian families who live every day to the sound of sirens and explosions.

The Odesa region comes under attack every day. Shelling, destroyed homes, forced displacement and the loss of the most essential belongings have become a reality for thousands of people in southern Ukraine. Many families have damaged housing that needs to be furnished from scratch.

It is at this moment that support from abroad is of particular importance.

The Christian Mission "New Life" in partnership with Open Door Foundation — Vitaliy and Natalia Smolin and friends and partners from the Netherlands Friese Rijders voor Oekraïne organized the delivery of another humanitarian cargo to Ukraine within the framework of the "Help to Survive" project.

Despite difficult logistics and a dangerous route, the truck successfully reached the Odesa region.

What was delivered? The cargo included furniture for homes, bicycles, food products and essential household items. For many Ukrainian families, this is an opportunity to restore everyday life and to furnish their homes after destruction.

The aid received is already being distributed. Part of the cargo remains in the Odesa region, part is being transferred further between regions, foundations and volunteer initiatives, so that support reaches exactly where it is most needed.

For the mission team, each such delivery is more than just things. It is an opportunity to give people back a sense of home: when there is again a table, a bed, dishes in the house, and children receive a bicycle that becomes for them a symbol of a childhood that continues despite the war.

Every day people in Ukraine live to the sounds of sirens and explosions. That is why such support helps them feel the most important thing — they are not left alone.

The Christian Mission "New Life" expresses sincere gratitude to our friends and partners from the Netherlands — Friese Rijders voor Oekraïne — for their constant and faithful support of the "Help to Survive" project, as well as to the Open Door Foundation team and all volunteers who made this route possible.

Together we are bringing Ukraine's victory closer!
