Relocation Support
The safety of our past and present program participants, including Scholars, orphaned children, children with disabilities, and veteran families, is of utmost importance.
Updates
Help Us Help and our agency in Ukraine, Help Us Help UA:
Provided relocation support to 65 individuals
Helped evacuate 100 people from high-risk areas (Odesa)
*Please note, that the responsibility for relocating orphanages lies with ministries and government authorities. Help Us Help will continue to remain in contact with leaders of Residential Institutions to ascertain how we can help.
Humanitarian Aid Within Ukraine
The Help Us Help and Help Us Help UA teams provide humanitarian support from within Ukraine. These items are packaged and sourced by the Help Us Help UA team and distributed to program participants and relocation centers. These items include life-saving over-the-counter medications, diapers, and non-perishable foods.
We continue to collect humanitarian aid requests and maintain an open line of communication with:
137 past and present program participants (including orphans and children with disabilities)
36 leaders of orphanages in Ukraine
Some humanitarian aid requests include:
Misto Dobra
Misto Dobra (The City of Goodness) is a social service centre and a shelter for mothers and children based in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion, Misto Dobra has taken in hundreds of families and children.
Help Us Help was able to provide Misto Dobra with new appliances for their new shelter, which will house another 100 mothers and children escaping the war.
Camping Supplies and Sewing Machines
Help Us Help has donated all appropriate summer and winter camp supply inventory to assist internally displaced people relocating in western Ukraine. We have also provided a group of Ukrainian volunteers with our sewing machines to create sleeping bags and warming blankets to be distributed at evacuation centres.
