Ukraine Shelters
Ocean State Charities Trust funded Child & Family RI to purchase new cots for their preschoolers and toddlers. They found an incredible new home for the cots. The old cots were distributed to a temporary shelter. “They will be used in Khmelnitskiy region, Ukraine, in one of the summer camps. Most of the camp sites in Ukraine serve as temp shelters for displaced families. They open doors to kids from families that have parents either fighting in the war, wounded or lost their lives in the war. These children in Ukraine now have a clean, soft place to rest. Thank you Child & Family RI for moving it forward, rather than discarding the cots.
