Since Russia’s war on Ukraine began, your generous donations have saved lives by allowing us to provide critical medical, non-lethal and humanitarian aid, to Ukraine’s defenders, civilian and military, and to advocate for Ukraine around the globe.
We have increased aid although not commensurate with the increase in need, as funding has been tougher. So on this , we ask that you help us provide urgently needed generators, power-banks, vehicles, vehicle repairs, medical supplies, and winter supplies including repair supplies for Ukraine’s energy grid. Your donations help us procure, stage, and transport aid, to provide medical care and training, and to advocate for Ukraine.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity
