For the participants, each drawing became part of the recovery process: the first movements after injury, attempts to regain a sense of control over the body, and a gradual return to a new stage of life.<\/p><p>Cats became the central image of the exhibition. The organizers explain that this symbol was chosen deliberately: a cat is associated with home, warmth, calm, and a sense of safety \u2014 things that are especially important for people who have endured severe injuries and lengthy treatment.<\/p><p>The participants of the exhibition are military personnel undergoing rehabilitation at the National Military Medical Clinical Center \u201cMain Military Clinical Hospital.\u201d The event attracted the attention of journalists, who prepared a television report about the exhibition and its significance for wounded defenders.<\/p><p>The report also featured a comment from psychologist and co-founder of the \u201cHome of Heroes\u201d project, Tetiana Krapyvianska. She emphasized the importance of supporting military personnel not only during treatment, but also after they leave the hospital, when a person needs the conditions necessary for further recovery and a return to everyday life.<\/p><p>The \u201cHome of Heroes\u201d project works to ensure that wounded military personnel have not only the opportunity to undergo rehabilitation, but also a place to return to after treatment. One of the initiative\u2019s key areas is the creation of adapted housing for veterans who require special conditions due to their injuries.<\/p><p>The organizers emphasize that recovery after injury does not end in the hospital. For a full return to life, a person needs stability, a safe space, and the support of society.<\/p><p>The project can be supported with a charitable contribution. \u201cHome of Heroes\u201d notes that every donation becomes part of a future home for military personnel who have paid an extraordinarily high price for defending Ukraine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2c0f47 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f2c0f47\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71fd079 e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"71fd079\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-387f258 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"387f258\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Donate in hryvnia:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/send.monobank.ua\/jar\/64bmYrpSCw?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExcUZ4MGZjMGZKWEF6N1lwSXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5Xt5F84uSJjvAyEwynq8CEzDZkoVVAqkKvqbDkIYfhc1UBmwrbGT7_vQUQYg_aem_FwMhhtUbcjggkuotlp8eaQ\"><b>https:\/\/send.monobank.ua\/jar\/64bmYrpSCw<\/b><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2f39dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2f39dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Support from abroad:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/send.monobank.ua\/jar\/ALx6NN1Jv?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExcUZ4MGZjMGZKWEF6N1lwSXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5uGS7BKnlzmNybxRZSFM51TnNCEOz1wD-XivIg-9SNCFhNS8fOIzyyBmQu1A_aem_QU8shqqrWv8DQ0aJKFj01A\"><b>https:\/\/send.monobank.ua\/jar\/ALx6NN1Jv<\/b><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/fdownloader.net_aqpmfjn962duetlnspnprilge3nckl_mbkrfsbwzclti08ewwxtspakmfmfslugd5kalnlnocovsnonpfmsoio_bkx6vh2edqx2ia_p_aon6cq_720p_hd.mp4 \u201cCats and Kitties\u201d: an Exhibition About Warmth, Home, and the First Steps Toward Recovery An exhibition of works by military personnel undergoing rehabilitation after limb loss has opened in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1569","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"campaignId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1569"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1573,"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1569\/revisions\/1573"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/houseofheroesukrainian.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
