These courageous green berets have the mission of bringing safety and care to the many abandoned children of Ukraine.

At the Knights of Columbus "Mercy Hut" in Hrebenne on the Ukraine border, where compassion, food, warmth, medical attention, and a chapel welcome refugees, the Goya Cares team met one of the many refugees passing through. They hear the words of Nella who is with her 4-year-old son Andrei. She repeats her husband's plea as she left their home in Ukraine, "Love and protect our son, and I will protect and defend our country."

The Goya Cares team was moved by the incredible courage, compassion, and love of a mother entrusted with the care, protection, and nurturing of her precious child.
