On her birthday, fifth-grader Andriana Kindratska from the village of Sokoliv received money as a gift, which she decided not to spend on toys.
Instead, she bought cotton pads and beeswax to start making fire starters. These products can burn for up to 6-7 minutes. And with their help, soldiers on the front line can keep warm, make tea, light a stove or a fire.
As of today, Andriana has already produced 5,247 fire starters. Her parents help the young volunteer deliver them to the defenders.
The girl handed some of them over to the comrades of her uncle Ihor Kindratskyi, who died on September 5, 2023, near the village of Verbove, Zaporizhzhia region.
