Even in the hardest times, Ukrainians continue to inspire with their humility and gratitude for the good that comes their way. This Thanksgiving, as we celebrate a holiday centered around thankfulness, we want to share a story that embodies resilience and gratitude.

Hansen Village continues to grow, bringing stability and opportunity to its residents. The newly opened primary school now provides 64 young students, including 6 children with special needs, access to education close to home—a step toward restoring childhood and normalcy.

Earlier this November, we celebrated the grand opening of Senior Chudo Village 2—a milestone filled with hope and joy.

Recently, friends from America, including Dell Loy Hansen's children and the Wasatch Group team, visited Sloboda Village in the Chernihiv region. Their visit fostered a heartwarming exchange of support and gratitude.

What might seem like a peaceful, ordinary day in this video is truly a gift for many in Ukraine. For a long time, days for these residents meant hiding in basements from explosions, clearing shrapnel from their yards, and enduring the hardships brought by Russian occupants.

It's hard to believe that Senior Chudo Village has been a home for so many senior war victims for a whole year now. Today, it has blossomed into Ukraine's first-of-its-kind senior living community, offering not just shelter, but a fresh start for those who lost everything due to the war.

The construction of Senior Chudo Village is almost complete, and we are thrilled to welcome another 200 elderly individuals into our big family at Hansen Ukrainian Mission.

September has been incredibly productive. Following an unforgettable trip to Disneyland with children from Hansen Village and Hansen Apartments, our founder, Dell Loy Hansen, visited Ukraine to assess the progress of ongoing projects and reconnect with those who have become part of the Hansen Ukrainian Mission family.

For both the children and their accompanying parents, this escape from the harsh realities of war was a much-needed chance to immerse themselves in a world of joy and fantasy. The memories of this trip will undoubtedly stay with them for a long time.
