We start the new year, as it should be, with rebuilding the country and helping Ukrainians.

Into the new year with new energy and even stronger motivation! In the first week of 2023, Dobrobat’s dedicated volunteers took a little rest to get more energy to continue implementing the country’s urgent reconstruction. They tasted kutia, celebrated Christmas and the New Year, spent time with their families and friends, and recharged their batteries for new deeds.

However, we also have some achievements to share with you. Despite the holidays, groups of volunteers went to the locations in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions to help the people who suffered. Thus, the volunteers visited Vyshgorod. A local five-story building was damaged by enemy shelling back in November. Among other major damages, all the windows in the building were blown out. Volunteers sewed them up with OSB panels to protect the house from further destruction.

Kharkiv branch volunteers went to Malynivka village, Chuhuiv district. For two days in a row, they were repairing the damaged roof. Additionally, in the village of Pisky-Radkivski, Borivskyi district, they fixed the broken windows in the local school. In total, more than 150 windows were sewed up with OSB panels.

Volunteers of Mykolaiv construction battalion went to the village of Prybuzke. There they restored the house, which was destroyed at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation. So far, nobody could repair the house as the owner of the house died of injuries caused by a rocket hit, and the hostess of the house is still in hospital. Dobrobat volunteers have cleared the territory around the house from debris, garbage and glass. They repaired the broken windows, and also the roof, replaced the broken slates with the used but whole ones. They also helped a lonely woman from the village of Ukrayinka. Her house was destroyed by an enemy rocket. The damaged roof was repaired and the windows and doors were sewed up with OSB panels.

Urgent rebuilding also took place in Zaporizhzhia and the region. Dobrobat team took part in eliminating the damage caused by the enemy’s C-300 missile attack on city residential buildings. The group of volunteers together with the State Emergency Service (SES) and Cobra Emergency Rescue Service dismantled the debris of the destroyed multi-storey building and private houses. Also in Stepne village, they urgently repaired the destroyed house of a woman whose son is now defending the country. For two days, they had been dismantling the broken slate, repaired the wooden structures of the roof and covered the roof with protective tarpaulin.

We are gaining momentum to rebuild the country and help those in need. We are grateful to our volunteers for their resilience and dedication to the common cause. We invite everyone who wants to contribute to the Victory and country rebuilding to join the volunteer ranks!
