Parishioners of the UOC church in Odesa, dedicated to the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, organized a charitable campaign titled "To Have Life" as part of the "Kindness Unites" project. According to the Odesa Eparchy's Facebook page, Orthodox residents of Odessa managed to raise over 100,000 UAH for the neonatal intensive care unit of Kyiv's Ohmatdyt hospital.

Compassionate parishioners, together with the church rector, Archpriest Dmytro Harchuk, collected the funds and handed them over along with masks for non-invasive ventilation for young patients.

Tatiana Orlova, head of the hospital's neonatal unit, and Roman Shevchenko, head of the "Comprehensive Neuro-Monitoring and Pediatric Sleep Lab," expressed their gratitude to Metropolitan Agafangel of Odesa and Izmail, as well as to the believers of the Odesa Eparchy, for their support.

"We continue to do everything possible to help those in need," the diocese stated.

As reported earlier, the Odesa Eparchy also held an event for the families of priests with multiple children.
