We stand with Ukraine always and everywhere, especially when it comes to helping out little Ukrainians. Be BRO is more than just how mojamers vibe together — it’s about real support where it counts.
Before Christmas, the team came together to make 57 kids’ dreams come true and give their belief in holiday magic an extra lift.
How all it went
We reached out to the charity project “Saint Nicholas’ Reindeer”, which helps kids from areas affected by the war. The volunteers shared 37 letters to Saint Nicholas written by children from the village of Hryhorivka in the Kharkiv region.
About Hryhorivka from the volunteeres
The village wasn’t occupied but was in a combat zone in 2022. It’s a remote place with really bad roads (honestly, there are no roads at all — we drove to the neighboring Nova Mykolayivka last year, and it was awful). No organizations come by, there’s no help, no holidays. The kids stay at home and study online because it’s too dangerous to go to school. Guided bombs fly over in the Izium area all the time, and it’s loud even now. There are displaced people from occupied territories (so these kids are living in unsafe conditions and are grateful for any attention). They’re really hoping for a holiday.
How the mission was prepared
All the kids’ letters were shared in our internal company chat, and any mojamer from anywhere in the world could join the charity mission. The wish list had things like: dolls, building sets, drawing kits, board games, roller skates, headphones. A lot of kids asked for powerbanks so they could keep studying and playing when the power goes out. But there was one wish they all shared — for the war to end soon 💔
Elves in action
Total surprise — all the kids’ letters were snapped up by teammates in just a couple of hours! (Did we mention mojamers are the best?) A few comments from our internal chats:
Oleh, Product Designer
I want to mention that Tikhon draws really well, I’m taking the little one to the design department.
Hanna, Head of CRM & VIP
Sent the package. Honestly, one of the best feelings I’ve had in a while. Huge thanks to the team for making this happen!
Looks like we sparked a wave of real magic!
Ruslan, Analytics Lead
I was gonna grab a couple of power banks from a good seller I know. But now he’s helping out too — sending a few more for free + some taba paw toys 😊
There’s never too much magic
Since the first letters were claimed so fast, we reached out to another charity foundation, “Dreams of Ukrainian Children”, which helps military families. We picked up 20 more letters to Saint Nicholas and kept the magic going ✨
How the gifts were delivered
The “Reindeer” shared a photo report with us from the actual holiday the volunteers threw, where Saint Nicholas handed out gifts to all the kids. The best reward? Seeing those happy faces and real smiles! You can check out the photos here.
The gifts for the “Dreams” kids were sent straight to their homes and handed out by their parents. Some kids even found them under the Christmas tree — just like a real holiday’s miracle! We got heartwarming messages and photo updates from each family, and later we also got a report from the organization itself.
Mission completed!
All the gifts were delivered before Christmas 💪🏻 We pulled it together fast but with care and total responsibility to make sure we created a real holiday miracle. Mojamers didn’t just make the kids’ dreams come true, they added some special surprises to make sure the kids got even more joy and magic!
The result — 57 happy kids, +100 emotional boost for the mojamers, and a new super skill in our set — creating magic! 🪄
This mission brought mojamers even closer together and filled the air with holiday vibes. But the team’s not stopping — more ideas are already in the works! Because even the smallest good deeds can change the world 💙💫
