Putting on socks after a double arm amputation is also independence.
Oleksandr Tereshchenko shows one of the basic everyday skills that can help veterans regain autonomy after severe injury.
In May, Oleksandr Tereshchenko’s team is preparing a practical retreat for Ukrainian veterans with double upper limb amputations and their loved ones.
This is not a vacation. It is about rebuilding daily independence.
NGO Community Self-Help is supporting this fundraiser and helping attract additional support.

Сьогодні вітаємо психологів із професійним святом 💚
Це люди, які допомагають знаходити опору там, де здається, що її вже немає. Люди, які вміють бути поруч, чути, підтримувати і допомагати відновлювати внутрішню рівновагу.
Зі святом!
Запрошуємо до українсько-британського дослідження про досвід людей з інвалідністю в Україні. Шукаємо учасників: людей з порушеннями мобільності, зору чи слуху, а також батьків/опікунів дітей із такими порушеннями. Онлайн, 60–90 хв: forms.office.com/e/vn7p2EDLH…
🛡️ REB “Cyclone” deployed to protect Kherson rescuers.
Initial goal: UAH 360,000.
After direct consultations with the State Emergency Service, we refined the required frequency ranges and selected the optimal configuration.
💰 Final cost: UAH 161,000.
The system has been delivered and is now operational — protecting crews during missions under constant drone threat.
Special thanks to the Markiv family (USA) for their critical $5,000 contribution.
We not only ensured effective protection, but also saved donor funds without compromising quality.
