Everyone loves talking about “unbreakable Ukrainian spirit.” But spirit doesn’t pay for titanium implants. 10 Ukrainian veterans are waiting right now. @tytanovirehab needs support — not applause. 🙏 Don’t scroll past — these veterans need your help. Donate or share.
10 ветеранів зі складними ампутаціями чекають на титанові імпланти. Класичні протези не підходять. Остеоінтеграцію держава не фінансує. ☝️Ціль — 15 млн грн 👇Зібрано — 8,1 млн грн 👉Донат 300 грн — участь у розіграші Zeekr MIX 🔗 https://t.co/Xk4wLaPvip

A quick recap on our last two games, @KarpatyLvivFC v Metalist 1925 and @FCShakhtar v Kryvbas. Our youngest team member had a birthday, thanks to FCKL for the shirt and to our friends from @Eintracht for the football. #TCID #Karpaty #UPL

Great day out and good result, special thanks to Secret Agent Kemkin 🤣🤣🤣 Not many photos this week, it was too cold to take my hands out of my pockets. #TCID #FCKL #KarpatyLviv #UPL

Well done to the 10 Vynnyky fans who journeyed up from the village to the big smoke, we hope they enjoyed their big day out. Came on the bus, parked the bus, went home on the bus.

@KarpatyLvivFC The whole day was sponsored by the fans of Czech club @FCZbrojovkaBrno , and it was an honour to have the Head of the Czech Consul of Lviv in attendance with us. Thank you @ZbrojovkaFANS and apologies, we do have some photos somewhere holding the flag properly!

Another record breaking day last Sunday, with 38 soldiers & volunteers having pre-match Oktober banquet & beers, and 4 more meeting us at the stadium, pushing us past 40 for the first time. Big thanks to the team at Stargorod for looking after us so well.

Yesterday 15 soldiers and family, and 12 boys from the orphanage braved the autumn rain to watch @KarpatyLvivFC and @vorsklacomua play out a 1-1 draw at Stadion Ukraina. The boys loved Lemchyk, who taught them some of the club chants, more new fans for the zeleny levy. #UPL #TCID

Secondly, to audit their sports facilities with a view to trying to upgrade them next spring. There is a football pitch with great potential, but it is suffering from years of neglect. Hopefully we can help to restore it to better condition, perhaps the basketball court too.

Firstly, to meet the boys and get to know them better ahead of starting to include them on our days out to football, starting this week. We picked berries, played basketball, and made apple juice. The boys are so industrious and disciplined, so inspirational.

Yesterday we took a trip to the Living Pearl Orphanage in Bortnyky, 70km south of Lviv, along with @DanZenchuk from @UKrainianDA . The orphanage is almost self-sustaining through a thriving blueberry business. There were two main motivations for the trip...

The number of people who stopped in the street to thank them, hug them, have selfies with them - this is really why we do it. Thank you to all of those people. What these men need most is to feel like people appreciate their sacrifice, and tonight the people of Lviv did us proud.

The feedback we get from the soldiers is that it not only helps their mental health, it helps with their self confidence. But the most important thing is the interaction they have with the general public. They think people have forgotten them. Then they see the love 😍
Sometimes all it takes is a simple night out at the pub to watch the football to help improve your mental health. @TCIDfund has brought 25 or so soldiers from the rehab centre to do precisely that. A great charity that deserves a follow!
