These seven girls have lost their parents in the war in Ukraine. They are between 6 and 19 years old, and are from Kharkov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of them, Veronika, almost died when a fragment of a Russian bomb nearly pierced her heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the scar left by the attack. She gave the pope a doll she made in a bunker. It is embedded with the splinter that almost left her lifeless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young woman survived the attack thanks to the care she received in Milan through the mediation of Cardinal Zuppi, the Pope's special envoy for Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for tender moments, the message of this girl\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pope Francis, you are the grandfather of us all. Protect us. If you can, stop this war. I love you so much.
