Psychological support for Children of Heroes
Helping children and their guardians recover after loss
See moreFill the Shelves of Care
Thousands of children under our care are in constant need of essentials – clothing,
school gadgets, medication, heating equipment, and more.
The Shelves of Care visually reflect just a part of these everyday needs.
You don’t have to cover everything – just give what you can. If your support changes
even one child’s life, it’s already worth it.
Here’s how the Shelves of Care work:
-
Choose any item from the list – it will appear on a shelf. You can fill as many shelves as you like.
-
As you add items, a progress bar will display the recommended donation amount.
Prefer to set your own amount? No problem – you can manually enter it in the dedicated field.
-
Once ready, choose how you’d like to give: make a one-time donation or become a monthly supporter.
We’re committed to caring for each child until they turn 18 – that’s why regular donations are so important.

Children of Heroes was founded to help the countless number of Ukrainian children who have suffered the ultimate tragedy: the loss of a parent, or parents, during the ongoing war. The Fund provides the children and their families with comprehensive assistance, led by our team of Family Helpers. Our assistance programs are funded by our partners and donors.
We believe the children of Heroes, those who have fought bravely for a free and prosperous Ukraine, are also Heroes themselves and deserve care and ongoing support to help them achieve a brighter future.
Our Mission
Our mission is to honour the memory of the fallen Ukrainian heroes by creating a favourable environment for their children, where they can overcome difficulties, change their lives for the better and build a brighter future for themselves and for Ukraine.
Our Programs
All of our initiatives are dedicated to improving the well-being of children who have suffered from the effects of the war and your gift directly helps each child supported by the Fund until he or she reaches adulthood. Your generous donation will fund programs including: humanitarian and emergency aid, psychological care and therapy, crisis management, legal aid, educational support, as well as the provision of food, warm clothing and assistance securing shelter for children, when needed. Each child you help support receives care that is catered towards their unique needs and circumstances.
Our Vision
To ensure that Ukraine’s children of heroes find hope, opportunity, a path to happiness, shaping a free and prosperous nation.

Родина Найдухів
табір «Воловець» у Карпатах
З перших днів повномасштабного вторгнення Юрій пішов добровольцем на фронт. На жаль, чоловік загинув під Бахмутом. Ця трагедія стала справжнім ударом для його дружини Галини та двох донечок — 13-річної Таїсії та 11-річної Іринки. Емоційний стан донечок був вкрай нестабільним: вони закрились в собі.
Від фонду «Діти Героїв» сімʼя Найдухів отримала можливість поїхати до табору «Воловець» у Карпатах. Це табір психоемоційної стабілізації для сімей, що постраждали від війни. З перших днів у таборі розпочались позитивні зміни. Вони ходили в гори, малювали, співали, купалися в чанах. Галина каже, що вона вперше після трагедії добре спала. А дівчата, які категорично відмовлялись йти до психолога, після табору самі висловили бажання розпочати роботу з фахівцем!
