We are a dedicated group of Ukrainian-Americans working with volunteers on the ground in Ukraine to purchase and deliver humanitarian aid to the most hotly contested areas in Ukraine. These cities are getting the brunt of the military efforts and are key strategic areas that could change the course of the whole war.

Kharkiv

Ukraine’s second largest city is perhaps the most-shelled target in the country after besieged Mariupol. Every day brings a hail of Grad rockets, cluster bombs, shells and missiles. Hundreds are dead, thousands injured. The morgues cannot cope with the daily toll inflicted by Russia. At one city-center facility, dozens of bodies, wrapped only in plastic bags or blankets, are stacked in a courtyard. Yet Kharkiv’s people are determined that their city will stand, that life must continue among the ruins, even if for now it is a terrifying half-existence in the shadow of sudden death. Brave soldiers and volunteers are doing their best to protect the city, but they desperately need first aid kits, medicine, and other life saving supplies.

Chernihiv

Chernihiv, located on the banks of the Desna River, was one of the first targets for Russian troops who invaded Ukraine from Belarus, hoping to quickly reach the capital Kyiv, just 90 miles to the south. A month on, that has not happened, and they have now effectively surrounded the city. Civilians are trapped with no running water, electricity and heating, and under relentless bombing and shelling. And like Mariupol, the besieged city on the Sea of Azov that has seen the worst of Russia's brutality, very little seems to remain untouched. Tens of thousands of people remain trapped and the Ukrainian forces are fighting to keep the Russian army from advancing on the capital. This city is in dire need of medical supplies and generators since the power has been out for days and heavy fighting continues.

Dnipro

Russia is mounting resources to “encircle” the city of Dnipro in central Ukraine. The Russian occupation forces command is shifting its focus to the South, trying to deprive Ukraine of access to the Black and Azov Seas, which, in their opinion, will create conditions for economic suppression of the Ukrainian Resistance. Russia does not give up hopes to seize Kyiv and mounts resources to encircle Dnipro with the plan to encircle the major cities, exsanguinate the Ukrainian Armed Forces and create a situation of humanitarian catastrophe for civilians. Dnipro is receiving a lot of wounded soldiers from other hot spots in Ukraine and is in need of many medical supplies for the arriving patients.

Who We Are

We are a small group of volunteers in the US and on the ground in Ukraine who are heartbroken by what’s happening in Ukraine and longing to help the most vulnerable members of our society. We are working for free, so there’s no overhead. 100% of donations are used to purchase and deliver humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

Additional Information

When we are working with our partners in Chernigiv, Kharkiv, and Dnipro, we ask them to provide the official requests from the local leaders (head of departments, local government, etc). Below is an example from official request from the Head of Department for ICU for patients with sepsis in Dnipro:
