LIFTING HANDS WITH HECTOR ORTIZ
HEALING STARTS WITH COMMUNITY: URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED TO HELP UKRAINIANS SURVIVE
As the war in Ukraine escalates and international aid dwindles, more people than ever are targeted by destruction, violence, and occupation. Nowhere is safe.
Civilians are caught in the crossfire, their normal lives torn away and replaced with missile strikes, sirens, and uncertainty. Children and adults need help processing the immense trauma and grief they are experiencing. Our 7 Community Centers across Ukraine—from Lviv to Kherson to Kharkiv—provide healing therapy and emotional support. They’re a safe space for kids to learn and play, for mothers to gain practical skills, for people to find some sense of normalcy. This kind of mental healthcare and community is an essential part of our emergency response.

AID TO FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES
We distribute aid to frontline villages that are cut off from the outside world, trapped without power, heat, clean water, and food. Our fearless teams navigate shelling and damaged roads to deliver essential aid like food, water, blankets, hygiene supplies, medicine, and clothes to the elderly and people with disabilities who remain in these isolated villages.
Our local teams show up everyday to make a difference—all while experiencing constant danger, grief, and trauma. The flood of need seems unstoppable, but we help our teams overcome burnout by sharing best practices and providing expertise. Helping the helpers is some of the most valuable humanitarian aid work that we do.
