After her grandmother died, she was left in the care of her grandfather, who was afraid that the occupation authorities might take the girl away. The grandfather realized that the only chance for Maria&#8217;s survival was evacuation.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Together with the Ukrainian Child Rights Network, we coordinated her safe transfer to Ukraine. Today Maria has finally been reunited with her mother and younger brother. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Veronika&#8217;s story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Veronika lost both her parents at the age of 7 and was placed in foster care in the Kherson region. In 2022, the Russian occupation of her village brought numerous challenges. Constant stress negatively affected her health, and interruptions in communication and electricity made it impossible for her to study.  <\/p>\n\n<p>The guardian decided that the best solution would be to move the girl to her grandmother in Kryvyi Rih, where she could recover and continue her studies. Today, Veronika is safe and ready to start a new phase in her life. <\/p>\n\n<p>These returns were made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Ukrainian Child Rights Network, SOS-Kinderd\u00f6rfer weltweit, and the support of our international partners, including Save Ukraine and the Ukrainian National Center for Peacebuilding, within the framework of the &#8220;Way Home: A New Route&#8221; project.<\/p>\n\n<p>We will continue to work tirelessly to bring all Ukrainian children home.<\/p>\n\n<p>P.S.
