Today, EVUM turned into the official residence of St. Nicholas. We know that the greatest miracles are most needed by children who have to spend the holidays away from home. That is why we invited St. Nicholas to visit the brave little heroes in their hospital rooms.
How much joy, surprise, and sincere smiles we saw in the children’s eyes! These are priceless moments that give hope and strength to recover. Of course, St. Nicholas did not come empty-handed. The celebration became possible thanks to our incredible friends and partners who helped fill the gift bag with wonderful presents.
St. Nicholas visited three children’s hospitals to congratulate young patients and bring them gifts and warmth:
- Chernihiv Regional Children’s Hospital;
- Western Ukrainian Specialized Center (Oncology and Pediatric Oncohematology Departments);
- St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital in Lviv.
For EVUM, this is more than just a charitable initiative. It is an opportunity to support families during difficult times and remind children that they are loved and remembered, while creating a true holiday atmosphere for them. Our goal was simple yet extremely important — to bring joy to children who are forced to spend this special day in hospital wards, undergoing unpleasant procedures and IV treatments.
We sincerely thank our friends and partners, as well as everyone who helped create a festive mood for the children and supported St. Nicholas in spreading happiness. Special thanks go to:
- Lemberg Shooting & Sports Club and EPAM for the wonderful night-light planners, making children’s dreams brighter and their plans and hopes bigger;
- Biscotti for the crunchy and delicious cookies that added a sweet touch to the celebration;
- Oleksandra Mykhailenko for the sweet surprises that brought so much joy to the children;
- Serhii Pavlik for the amazing portrayal of St. Nicholas — the children were delighted and truly happy;
- Ihor Khonin and the “Divo Siohodni” Charity Foundation for creating an authentic and heartwarming St. Nicholas image at the Chernihiv Regional Children’s Hospital, filling the day with wonder and warmth;
- Yuliia Pysarenko and Kids Holidays Agency for the outstanding animation program and magical atmosphere. Thanks to your team, the celebration became even brighter, and children’s faces lit up with inspiring smiles that give strength and hope.
Seeing the children and their shining eyes was an incredibly touching experience for all of us. We also made sure that each child received a gift — a small spark of light that brings hope and joy even in the darkest moments.
Thank you to everyone who helps create kindness! May St. Nicholas protect each of you, and may he grant children the most important gifts — health and peace for Ukraine.
