Sofia’s drawing

Sofia. 14 years old

Before the full-scale invasion began, Sofia’s family lived in the village of Vovchanski Khutory, Kharkiv region. When the war broke out, they learned what it meant to live under constant shelling. The horrors they experienced forced the mother and her two children to leave their home and go into evacuation. Now the family lives in Novoyavorivsk, Lviv region, trying to adapt to a new life. The children’s father, a loyal defender of Ukraine, joined the Armed Forces to fight for his children’s future. After the fighting in the Donetsk region, he was reported missing, but later it became known that he had been fatally wounded. However, the man’s body has not yet been found, and his family has not been able to give him a proper burial. Despite the pain of loss and uncertainty, Sofia finds the strength to move on and keeps the memory of her dad, the Hero, in her heart.
