A gift, a child, a magical Christmas.

600 Ukrainian children are waiting for their Christmas angel

For months, the bombings in Ukraine have intensified dramatically. Civilian and energy infrastructure are being targeted with increasing frequency. Children are growing up to the wailing of sirens and living in constant fear. Deeply scarred by the consequences of the war, many of them now carry traumatic experiences that will stay with them for a long time.
They need our support and solidarity now more than ever.

This year, too, you have the opportunity to give a special Christmas joy to a Ukrainian child affected by the war.

As part of the Christmas Angel 2026 project, you can fulfill the Christmas wish of a child who has lost their home due to war, lives in insecurity, or faces difficult challenges in their daily life. With your support, you'll not only give a gift, but also hope and confidence.

After Christmas, you will receive photos of the gift-giving and can see the joy you have made possible.

Registration for Christmas Angel 2026 is now open. Sign up today and become part of a Europe-wide initiative that brings smiles to children in difficult times.

From October 5th onwards, our Christmas angels will get to know "their" child or children and learn more about their Christmas wishes.

Thanks to the support of sponsors from numerous European countries, it was already possible to achieve this by 2025. 855 Ukrainian children will receive gifts.

In 2026, we would also like to bring a special Christmas joy to 600 Ukrainian children together.

A look behind the scenes of a project that brings hope to the heart of war.

In this blog, I want to take you behind the scenes of the project and show you how a simple gift donation becomes an unforgettable moment, and why a little hope for a child often means much more than the gift itself.
