Eva, 2 years old, (Pictured left) lives in a small house in Pervomaisk with her mother, grandmother, and other family members. Months ago, her father left to serve in the war. Money became very tight as her mother had to stop work because she is expecting another child in June. Further complicating matters, her uncle suffers from cerebral palsy and requires constant care from her grandmother; he lives with the family as well. Despite it all, Eva is an inquisitive delightful child. JRNU supports the family with food and necessities of all types.
