It was a very difficult time, for the world, for Ukraine, for Poland and for us, the employees of the Joanna Radziwill Care Wings Foundation. The people and situations we encountered on a daily basis moved us profoundly. That’s why we decided to specifically work on behalf of those traumatized by the war. We are still in contact with many of them, and to this day we are taking care of 12 children and their families, from Ukraine. We will always respond quickly with concrete action to every human misfortune, violence, injustice and also war!

We would especially like to thank Kasia Robinska and Robert Markwick from England, Monika Bednarek from Mallorca, Elisabeth Czartoryski and Pavan Agarwal and their Friends, Aleksandra Wojnar, Magda Filipowicz, Witold Filipowicz and Friends from Switzerland, the Give Children Strength Foundation and all the Individuals who contributed to help the families from Ukraine. You are irreplaceable!
