On a chilly March morning in Odessa, the Fanahei family prepares for their second flight from Ukraine to escape the war. The bus that is to take them to Munich is parked outside the main train station, while explosions and air strikes continue to shake their homeland. The situation in Ukraine is deteriorating, the Russian armed forces are putting the defenders under massive pressure and evacuation orders have been issued for villages close to the front. Aid organizations such as “Be an Angel” are trying to cope with the increasing number of requests, although donations are declining. The family hopes to find safety in Germany, while millions of Ukrainians continue to flee the war.

Interview with our Ukraine Team – TAZ.de
Nataliia Gocharova, Julia Zara, and Ekatetrina Mikheitrva work as volunteers in Odessa, supported by the Berlin-based association Be an Angel. They provide food and medicine, evacuate those in need, and ensure medical care for sick children and elderly people in Europe. They describe the harsh living conditions in Odessa, with frequent power and heating outages, and the psychological strain on the residents. Despite these challenges, they stay in Odessa to help their fellow citizens and raise donations for those in need. Art events offer a welcome break from the war’s daily realities.
Together to the Mortician – Berliner Morgenpost
Ulrike Lessig, a board member of the “Be an Angel” association and former social worker, takes care of both her elderly mother with dementia and refugees in Berlin. Despite her own physical limitations, she handles her daily life with remarkable energy and joy. After the death of her friend Raffi, she took on the responsibility of caring for Raffi’s daughter Lou, whom she refers to as her “gosling child.” Her professional experiences with terminally ill patients have deeply influenced her, fostering a desire to support others in their final moments. For her own funeral, Ulrike wishes to have food from the “Kreuzberger Himmel” restaurant, run by refugees.
