I grew up in Ukraine, and I have a powerful connection to the country and its people, many of whom are my family and close friends.

This insane war forced my family to flee Kyiv, leaving everything behind. Even though they are safe now, they desperately need critical supplies.

Other family and friends that I have, who live in a small village called Rodnikova Huta and the city Uzhhorod in west Ukraine, are currently taking in refugees and helping them out with shelter, food, and any other way they can. The small school in my village is full of women and children that need jackets, sweaters, and other much-needed supplies.

After saying their goodbyes, the men in the family went to war to fight on the front lines. 

A disabled aunt who lived alone in Kyiv is still there in her apartment, hoping that her building won't be destroyed, praying that she can live through the night. A pregnant friend, just days away from giving birth, tried to get out of Kyiv, could not escape, and is stuck in the basement of her building, not sure what to do. There are too many stories to tell.  

Please help us support these people in desperate need.

We will use your contributions for medical supplies, food, clothing, diapers, toiletries, and other much-needed necessities. Our friends in the Czech Republic will buy the supplies and deliver them to Polish/Ukrainian border. My aunt's sister Oksana gathered volunteers and will deliver the supplies to those who need them the most. So no matter how big or how small, your gift becomes a powerful way to support these people in crisis.
