Bring Them Home Now

The message from our canine volunteers is again really simple.

Children are children, no matter where they are. They need to play, go to school, make friends, be with their families, and live in peace.

The terrorist state continues to hold hostage thousands of Ukrainian children illegally transferred from their homes. No one will ever forget this.

In horror, we saw on October 7 how Putin’s friends in Tehran and Gaza all share something in common – the kidnapping of civilians including children as hostages. They will not be forgotten either.

All hostages must be returned home immediately. Children are not bargaining chips during time of war.

As pediatric doctors, the care of children is at the core of our being. A couple of weeks ago, we sent two packages of toys and stuffed animals (total weight 57 lbs / 25.9 kg) to our friends at the Kharkiv Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital for distribution to their patients. These items were donated anonymously by a local physician. We also included some asthma medications that had also been donated, as well as syringes.

It is just one thing we can do to help make the lives of hospitalized children in Ukraine a little bit brighter.

This last week, the boxes arrived at the Kharkiv Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital. Over two hundred toy cars and trucks and dozens of stuffed animals, we hope they will bring smiles to the faces of the patients there.
