Four Years In. Still Standing.

This month marks four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. You may have just paused to ask, “How has it been four years?”

As global headlines shift and attention fades, the reality for Ukrainians has not changed. Air raid sirens still interrupt daily life. Cities continue to face missile and drone attacks. In recent months, attacks on energy infrastructure have intensified, making this one of the harshest and most dangerous winters yet. This winter, many families have endured long stretches without heat or electricity, sometimes for days at a time, including members of HUT’s own Ukrainian team. In freezing temperatures, with some areas of Ukraine reaching –13°F, parents bundle their children in coats even indoors, hospitals depend on generators, and families wait anxiously for power to return. Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers remain on the front lines, defending their country every single day

For many outside Ukraine, the war feels distant. It competes with other crises, busy lives, and constant news cycles. For Ukrainians, however, this war is their daily reality. There is no pause button. There is no break.

Right now is a pivotal moment. Ukraine is facing some of the most intense attacks since the early days of the invasion, while exhaustion, uncertainty, and loss continue to mount. Yet, even in these conditions, Ukrainians keep going.

When this war ends, Ukraine will still need us. But today, in this moment, it needs us urgently.

Heal Ukraine Trauma was created in the earliest weeks of the full-scale invasion in 2022. For the past four years, we have been on the ground supporting Ukrainian mental health providers, veterans, spouses, and children as they navigate unimaginable trauma. We have trained clinicians, funded treatment for veterans, built support groups for military families, and delivered trauma recovery programs to children living through war. Even during blackouts, air raids, and displacement, our Ukrainian team continues this work.

As Ukraine enters its fifth year of fighting, we ask you not to look away. Not now. Not when conditions are at their hardest.

Every dollar donated to this campaign goes directly toward mental health programs for veterans, military families, and children across Ukraine. Your support helps turn compassion into concrete healing. It helps keep therapy groups running, children supported, and families connected during crisis.

If you’ve felt helpless watching this war continue, this is a meaningful way to stand with Ukraine. At a time when so many feel forgotten, your support tells Ukrainians they are not alone.

Please consider making a donation today. While it has been four years of unfathomable loss, it has also been four years of incredible resilience and relentless courage. Despite cold homes, broken infrastructure, and constant danger, Ukrainians continue to choose hope.

Ukraine is still fighting. And we are still here, helping them heal.

With gratitude,
Heal Ukraine Trauma
