SUMMARY:Ukraine Fundraiser: 5KRunOrWalk
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nIn the spring of 2022 allowed Striving For All to hel
 p Harmonia Orphanage evacuate from the Kharkiv war zone to the West of Ukr
 aine and get a building equipped to serve as a new home for the kids. It b
 ecame a haven for more than 100 orphaned children and brought a glimmer of
  hope to their lives. However\, the trauma from losing family members\, ph
 ysical injuries inflicted during wartime\, and uncertainty about the futur
 e remained.\nThis spring\, our co-founder\, Olena Baykur\, and a skilled a
 rt therapist from Mission Arts Center\, Lyudmila Savinkova\, traveled to C
 hernivtsi\, Ukraine\, to visit the orphanage and deliver a series of in-pe
 rson art therapy workshops.\nThe children and staff were stunned that some
 one cared enough to travel for days from afar to spend time with them\, an
 d the art therapy sessions resonated profoundly with all age groups\, four
  to sixteen. The children eagerly lined up daily\, waiting to delve into t
 hese engaging sessions. Many even sought one-on-one time with the art ther
 apist during their precious recess moments.\nThe children's artwork reveal
 ed the deep trauma they endured due to the war. The scars of their family 
 losses were evident in every brushstroke and pencil mark. But through the 
 power of art therapy\, these sessions became a sanctuary where the childre
 n could freely express themselves\, finding solace and healing in their cr
 eativity.\nBut what comes next? Struggles with food shortages are imminent
  as support has dwindled over the past year\, and it is now hard to meet e
 ven the most basic needs. And the children not only need to eat\; they als
 o need to heal. Rehabilitation is a core need for these kids\, too. Strivi
 ng For All invites you to join us and help secure food supplies for the up
 coming months and carry on with rehabilitation projects for the kids in Ha
 rmonia orphanage.\nWe hope you join us as together we walk and run to illu
 minate their path to a brighter future.\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details: https://ru
