This issue reflects on why our work matters, sharing powerful stories of older people in Ukraine whose lives have been profoundly affected by war. It highlights resilience in the face of loss, from Mykola in Kramatorsk reclaiming his independence with support, to older women and men who have lost their homes but not their hope, and to peer groups that are easing loneliness and rebuilding connection. At its heart, this issue is about dignity, human warmth, and solidarity, and about the partners and donors whose commitment ensures that older people are not forgotten, even in the most difficult times.
