Ukrainian Stories From the Frontlines.
Goloka Nandini devi dasi, with her father-in-law, daughter Sati, and little girl Rasa Lila (3.5 years old) live in Nova Kakhovka. On the first day of the conflict, at 3 a.m. their town was invaded.
Numerous Ukrainian military that was present in Nova Kakhovka simply left the city. From that moment on and to this day the city is under blockade and is suffering from an extreme shortage of food, medical care, medicines, fuel, and many necessities for a normal life.
Goloka Nandini’s family was left without work, they had no finances to maintain themselves, and they were getting more and more desperate by the day. Her daughter, Sati, has health issues that require regular medical treatments. On top of that, the gas heater that heated the apartment broke down, and the weather was sub-zero outside.
Financial donations came just in time for this family. With the financial support they received, the family was able to buy food, maintain Sati’s healthcare needs, and fix the heater.
To do all this is not easy. There are long lines at the stores and warehouses that sell foods and goods. Necessary medicines are also not easy to find, there are hour-long queues at pharmacies and the most common and over-the-counter medicines are already sold out. But with the help of the mayor of the city, who was awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine by the Ukrainian government, and by the grace of the Lord, the devotees have purchased what they have needed so far.
Goloka Nandini also remarks that this financial aid has helped them emotionally as well. They do not feel abandoned or frightened anymore. Now they have hope and some sense of security.
