When the Ukraine/Russia war started one year ago, one Valley freshman wanted to do something to help, and a new effort was born inside the walls of Brophy College Prep.
For many Ukrainians living in the Valley, life hasn’t been the same since Russia invaded their home country.His mother, Svitlana Jelden, tells us they still have family members in Ukraine who fear for their lives.
Through letters, the freshman started bringing hope to Ukrainian soldiers fighting in the war-torn region.The day ABC15 talked to him, he was writing a special letter and you could see the love he was pouring into it the second his pencil hit the paper.Jelden:"My Uncle Victor. He’s fighting right now."Jelden:"Yeah. He just suddenly enlisted like a lot of people did and he did it to protect his country. I think it takes a really special person to have that amount of courage.
While he says this past year has felt like an eternity because of the war in Ukraine, he is hopeful it will all come to an end soon.Luzdelia Caballero:"And what’s your hope for your uncle in this war?"The freshman continued writing his letter, eventually ending it with: “Thank you for what you’ve done for the country. Adam.”
