<br>🌷 March 8 — a Day to Speak About Women’s Strength — COMPLETED
08.03.2026

This year, this day is especially meaningful for us. For the first time in our community, there is a girl who lost her vision during military service.

▪️ Her name is Veronika.
She was only 19 when she decided to serve. At first, she volunteered, and later joined the Territorial Defense Forces (TDF) She was awarded the rank of senior soldier.

Constant stress, exhaustion, and the demands of service began to affect her health. At first, her vision started to deteriorate — she developed myopia. Then glaucoma appeared.
Later, doctors diagnosed optic nerve atrophy.

It was during her service that Veronika lost her sight.

Now she needs rehabilitation, adaptation to a new life, and support.
That is why we are opening a fundraising campaign to support Veronika’s recovery and rehabilitation.

▪️ If you were planning to buy flowers this March 8 —
perhaps this time you could choose support that truly matters.

Every contribution is another step toward ensuring that Veronika does not walk this path alone.

We are with you, Veronika.
