Volunteers Helping the People of Ukraine: Our History


On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine, turning upside down the lives of 44mm Ukrainian people and the rules-based international order. For U.S. citizens of Ukrainian heritage, friends and families have been profoundly affected, fighting on the frontline against the Russian military forces, hiding in bomb shelters from missile attacks, or fleeing as refugees.

In the ensuing 3 days, our founders raised over $60,000, purchased life-saving medical equipment, and hand-delivered it to Ukrainians in need. Their efforts have continued, specializing in sourcing equipment and supplies only available or at lower costs in the United States and direct deliveries to end users and organizations. They want to bring like-minded people to the effort and expand on their success.

In these unprecedented times, our organization and its members are supporting Ukraine and its people and upholding our commitments to justice and human rights by:

1) Providing direct material support to Ukrainians subject to Russian atrocities

2) Facilitating connections to other humanitarian aid organizations assisting in Ukraine

Those in Ukraine face dire circumstances and need immediate financial support to sustain basic supplies and humanitarian care. We are a verified 501(c)3 nonprofit organization coordinating efforts with other non-profit crisis response organizations to deliver immediate aid across Ukraine.

In the first 3 days of the war, our founders raised over $60,000 and hand-delivered these supplies to Ukrainians. They wanted to bring like-minded people to the effort and expand on their success. To date, our members have delivered over $1,300,000 of emergency medical supplies and humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian people. Every dollar donated goes directly to providing supplies to the regions that need assistance most. We are focusing on obtaining and delivering high-impact supplies requested by Ukrainians directly in contact with the aggressor, with a target of fewer than 10 days from purchase to delivery. With your support, we can continue to save innocent lives.
