Recalling the "Support Wheel" project in 2023: how we together brought joy and hope.

Published: 04/17/2024

With nostalgia and gratitude, we recall the "Wheel of Support" project that took place in 2023 and became a true celebration for our community. This project united hundreds of people and provided children, adults, and our defenders with the opportunity to experience joy and support during difficult times. Let's remember how it all happened and share the achievements we managed to accomplish thanks to our collective efforts.

The "Wheel of Support" project aimed to create a special event that would bring happy moments to those who need it the most. Thanks to our team, volunteers, and partners, we were able to organize free rides on attractions for over 500 children and 300 adults. This project was special not only for our beneficiaries but also for the entire community, uniting people of different ages and backgrounds.

Among the participants were representatives from important public organizations and charitable foundations such as the NGO "Harmony", NGO "YaMariupol", NGO "Association of IDPs Common Cause", NGO "Vinnytsia Down Syndrome", the Charitable Foundation "Helping Without Borders", the Children's House "Malyatko", and "Veteran Hub". Thanks to these organizations, which continuously work to support vulnerable groups of the population, we were able to involve such a large number of participants and make the event as inclusive and accessible as possible.

An especially important aspect of the project was the involvement of our military. Many defenders who were on rotation or had returned from the front lines had the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of peaceful life, share these moments with their families and loved ones, and for a brief moment, forget about the hardships of the war. This served as an important reminder that support is needed not only materially but also emotionally, as every smile and happy moment holds great significance.

As part of the project, we were able to raise 400,000 UAH to purchase a rehabilitation sports playground and air conditioning systems for the sports halls of one of the rehabilitation centers in Vinnytsia, as well as two combat drones for one of the military units.

The "Wheel of Support" project in 2023 became an example of how unity, collaboration, and a desire to help can change the world for the better. It was a wonderful experience that showed that even in difficult times, we can create something beautiful and support each other.

We are sincerely grateful to everyone who participated in the project, helped organize events, and supported us at every stage, as well as to those who donated to achieve our common goal. We continue to work on new initiatives that will make our city kinder and our community even stronger and more united.

We eagerly look forward to new meetings and projects that will bring even more joy and hope!
