Zaika Petro Family

Petro, a talented woodworker, and Natalia, a compassionate nurse, had lost their home during the war. For months, they lived in a tiny modular shelter that was falling apart, with walls covered in mold and structural damage from prolonged use. Petro had been unable to receive government compensation for their destroyed house, as he hadn’t completed the necessary documentation before the outbreak of hostilities. The family struggled to see a way forward, holding onto hope despite their dire circumstances.

But their lives took a remarkable turn for the better, thanks to the generosity of American philanthropist Dell Loy Hansen. Moved by their story, Hansen built them a beautiful, spacious, and modern home. This new house is not just a place to live—it’s a foundation for a brighter future. The Zaikas now have a permanent home where they can raise their son David and, someday, see their grandchildren grow up. Dell Loy Hansen’s extraordinary kindness transformed their destiny, giving them stability, comfort, and renewed hope for generations to come.
