As Vladimir Putin's armed forces continue their unprovoked, unlawful attack on Ukraine, thousands of Ukrainains are fleeing their homes in hope of safety and shelter. Some are heading to neighboring countries while others have taken refuge from Russian bombs in subway stations. More and more are sheltering in place among the rubble, without electricity and access to food and medical supplies.
Please support the humanitarian efforts that the organizations below are undertaking to assist refugees and others suffering during this horrific time:
- Americares is delivering medicine, medical supplies, and emergency funding to help families access essential health care services.
- World Central Kitchen, headed by chef and humanitarian José Andrés, is in Ukraine and neighboring countries, providing meals for the many refugees seeking shelter and hot meal.
- The International Fund for Animal Welfare is a worldwide leader in animal rescue and emergency care. IFAW partnered with animal shelters in Ukraine following the 2014 Russian invasion and is providing emergency aid while the shelter’s staff have remained in place to care for their animals.
- Razom for Ukraine: providing tactical medical and hospital supplies within the country of Ukraine. Their partners on the ground in western Ukraine are warehousing, sorting, and distributing their humanitarian aid to various hot spots across the country.
We must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the people of Ukraine as they stand up to tyranny in the name of freedom. You can help them in their cause by donating whatever you can afford right now.
