About the Art

Peace for Ukraine

Painted in the days following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Peace for Ukraine is a heartfelt expression of support, compassion, and hope for restored peace. Through the use of bold color, artist Robert "Bert" Inman makes a bold statement honoring the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the universal desire for peace amid unimaginable hardship.

About Common Man for Ukraine

Our grassroots, volunteer-run organization delivers humanitarian aid, including food, and trauma counseling to Ukrainian orphans, displaced children, and families struggling to survive this war.

Humanitarian Convoys

Common Man for Ukraine partners with Zamosc Ordynacky Rotary Club (Poland) to deliver food and other critical supplies to orphanages, safe houses, and additional areas of need in Ukraine.

On rotation, we provide each orphanage or safe house with a 40-day supply of nonperishable goods.

So far, we’ve delivered more than:

4 million pounds of food
10,000 sleeping bags
Hundreds of generators to power and heat safe houses
Thousands of donated, like-new Beanie Babies

Trauma Counseling

Common Man for Ukraine operates the Children of Ukraine Health Retreat in Zakopane, Poland – a 3-week residential trauma counseling camp for children in Ukraine with at least one parent who died in the war.

With the help of our network of trusted partners within Ukraine, we host 30-35 children per monthly session. The Retreat has helped more than 1,500 Ukrainian children since February 2022.

Staffed by certified teachers, doctors, and counselors, the Retreat offers these 8- to 16-year-old children an important therapeutic respite from the war zone, and a vibrant program of group and individual counseling, art and nature therapy, physical activity, free play, and more – creating deep bonds among peers.

Recognizing the need for mental healthcare for the widowed mothers of these children, Common Man for Ukraine launched a Mothers Retreat trauma counseling program in 2025.
