– Prayers for all children affected by the war, including those who are wounded, orphaned, displaced, or missing;
– Musical tributes, including “Prayer for Ukraine” and “Melody” by Skoryk performed by violinists.
3.This event aims to honor the innocent lives lost and bring global attention to the ongoing tragedies affecting Ukraine’s children. Following the ceremony, attendees may proceed to key locations, including the White House, Capitol, and embassies, to display teddy bears in solidarity.
Rescue Ukraine, led by Director Jeff Abrams, is organizing a Memorial to Remember the Children of Ukraine Killed by Russia. The event is joined by several Ukrainian and U.S.-based organizations, including Next Generation for Christ, US Ukrainian Activists, United Help Ukraine, and Anomaly.
Together, we remember, honor, and stand united.
