Operation Santa: A Holiday of Hope for Ukraine’s Orphaned Children

This past winter, through Operation Santa, Bird of Light helped fulfill the holiday wishes of 334 Ukrainian children who lost parents to war. From toys to tablets, and even a washing machine for one brave teen’s family, these gifts offered more than comfort—they brought hope. With a 40-foot container of essentials reaching over 1,500 children across Ukraine, Operation Santa reminded us that even in the darkest times, compassion can light the way.
