Not ‘just another NGO.’ We are a team of psychologists, art therapists, and mentors, who have been living the stories of children left alone with fear since 2017.
Thousands of Ukrainian children have lived through what no adult should ever have had to endure: the loss of parents, shelling, daily fear. We create a safe space for psychological and emotional recovery — through the 7-day Recovery program in Chernivtsi region, therapy, mentoring, and people who listen.
Psychologists who work with PTSD in children. Equine therapists who know that a horse hears what an adult cannot catch. Art therapists who know how to open up words through drawing. Mentors who stay close even after the program.
We are registered as a nonprofit charitable organization under Form No. 1-RN. All financial reporting is public and published quarterly. Every donation is accompanied by a photo report and a written story of the child (with the family's permission).
Ihor Tymko and a team of volunteers create the charitable foundation «Your Help UA». The first Recovery camp session is for children from frontline areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Development of a 7-day program in collaboration with child psychologists: art therapy + individual sessions + mentoring.
The foundation's permanent base moves to the city of Chernivtsi (Bukovyna) — a quiet, safe place surrounded by forest for therapy.
After February 24 — a sharp expansion of the program. The number of children per camp session grows from 30 to 60–70. A new category is added: “children who lost their parents on the front line.”
Online support for children after they return home is launched — weekly sessions with a psychologist, group meetings, long-term mentoring.
We pass the mark of 1 000 children who have gone through the Recovery program. Each one has a name, a story, and contact with a mentor.
We continue. 4–6 camp sessions a year, a permanent base, a team of 15+ full-time specialists and about 150 volunteers, a network of partners and donors. And — thousands of letters from children asking: “Can I come again?”
To unlock the potential of every person through leadership, sports, and social adaptation camp sessions within the Recovery project, humanitarian aid, and support for families — to raise a new generation that is aware and happy.
A community of strong, energized leaders who will build Ukraine’s future with a Christian worldview.
Children suffer deeply from rejection by parents, adults, or unhealthy lifestyles — which leads to psychological trauma. Our goal is to give children care and love, a period of peace in a stressful time.
Psychologists, therapists, mentors, and volunteers — everyone who makes “Recovery” possible.

A separate partnership area — joint Recovery camps for military families: widows, children of fallen Defenders, families of prisoners of war and the missing. YourHelp funds the infrastructure (meals, accommodation, platform), while certified specialists from ITH under the leadership of Yana Reznikova carry out psychosocial support work.
ITH is a project of the Ukrainian Bible Society. In 2022–2025, they held 42 camps for 2,493 participants; over the full period 2014–2025 — 64 programs and more than 5,617 participants.
