Almost 23.000 minors of Ukrainian nationality are currently on Romanian territory, over 5.000 of them under the age of 5.

The Mereu Aproape (Always Close) Foundation will purchase things that are strictly necessary for these children. Those who want to join the initiative of the Mereu Aproape Foundation and Antena 1 can do so by donating 2 euros by texting to 8848 with the text "CHILD".

"Involvement is part of the DNA of the team of the Mereu Aproape Foundation and now, concerned by these dramatic events and other major ongoing projects, also for children, we have joined forces to support the "United for Children of War" campaign, together with Antena 1.

“These are such difficult times that only supportive actions can do anything. As we all mobilize for children, however, I am reminded of the words of Israel's "Iron Lady", born in Kyiv, Golda Meir: "We can eliminate war only if love for children is more than hatred of enemies.”

The testimony of the children's suffering is in their sincere eyes and only their love, real support and protection in this ongoing drama can help the most vulnerable victims of the war!" - said Alessandra Stoicescu, President of the Mereu Aproape Foundation.
