Humanitarian Aid To Ukraine

July 2026 Update

Dear donors!

• The total expenses for the last month were 37,000 UAH (approximately $826). Of this amount:

·        5,000 UAH – to a woman whose apartment was destroyed by a bombing on July 2nd; she lost all her belongings.

• ·        3,000 UAH – to a large displaced family from Luhansk (they have five daughters).

• ·        4,000 UAH – to a torture survivor for medical examinations.

• ·        5,000 UAH – to cover Starlink costs for the "Triglav" UAV battalion. They evacuate the wounded and deliver ammunition, food, and water to forward positions, so they have a critical need for Internet access. What the state provides is not nearly sufficient, which is why they are constantly fundraising.

• ·        20,000 UAH – to a torture survivor for dental treatment.

Thank you deeply for your ongoing support. Standing with Ukraine matters now more than ever, as we anticipate more requests for assistance after recent Russian bombings destroyed critical food and medical warehouses. Please consider supporting us again and sharing this fundraiser to help us meet these urgent needs.

June 2026 Update

Dear donors!

We hope you all had a great Independence Day weekend. As we reflect on this 250th anniversary, we express deep gratitude for your steady support, recognizing that true liberty is never a finished project but a value that requires constant work and care. This milestone reminds us that our own freedom is deeply connected to the global struggle for democracy, brought into sharp focus by the profound sacrifices made by the people of Ukraine. The fierce defense of their nation is a powerful reminder that when freedom is threatened anywhere, it risks being weakened everywhere. Thank you for standing with us and for your dedication to keeping the spirit of liberty alive and resilient.

The total expenses for the last month were 75,102 UAH (approximately $1685). Of this amount, 20,000 UAH went to each of two torture victims for medical treatment and dental prosthetics.

A woman from Chernihiv received 10,000 UAH following the deaths of five family members—her son, daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren—in an airstrike. Six months later, her husband passed away, and the only surviving family member—her second son—was mobilized for military service. She had requested funds for a shared memorial monument for all the deceased, and a portion of the sum was paid to her through your generous donations.

Of the remaining sum, 11,000 UAH was allocated for medication for three elderly pensioners who were sick, completely helpless, and living alone.

Finally, 14,102 UAH went toward medical examinations for eight individuals—three women and five men—torture victims and the wounded.

We thank you, as always, for your ongoing support, generosity, and dedication. Your generosity directly sustains the vital, everyday effort to safeguard independence and human dignity.

We hope you’ll consider supporting us again and sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family to help grow our impact.

May 2026 Update

Dear donors!

The total expenses for the last month were 71,778 UAH (approximately $1619). Of this amount, 51,180 UAH was spent on dental care for three men following their release from Russian captivity. 10,360 UAH was spent on medical examinations for another four torture victims (two men and two women).

An allocation of 10,238 UAH provided emergency aid to a civilian from Vovchansk who was freed after a month-and-a-half captivity by Russian soldiers. When the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (KHPG) stepped in to offer legal and psychological support during the victim interviews, they found him completely destitute—left without clothing, food, housing, or medical funds, and entirely cut off from his family abroad. To stabilize him during the four days of legal proceedings, KHPG, using your generous donations, funded a hotel stay (4,000 UAH), a mobile phone (1,599 UAH), vital clothing and footwear (2,740 UAH), food (299 UAH), and a temporary living allowance (1,600 UAH). He has since been hospitalized to receive necessary medical care.

Additionally, I would like to highlight my brother’s ongoing humanitarian work in searching for missing persons, locating them, and assisting their families. From May 24 to May 30, he participated in a joint monitoring mission, traveling from Kharkiv to the Mykolaiv region alongside three exiled Russian dissidents. During the mission, they met with numerous victims and families of prisoners of war, including a visit to a settlement representing 21 families of the missing. The profound anguish these families endure while waiting for news of their loved ones commands our deepest compassion and solidarity.

And finally, here is a link to an article about the project “Restoring human rights for Ukrainian victims of Russian war-related crimes”, funded by the Swedish Institute (SI) and implemented by the Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group.

We thank you, as always, for your ongoing support, generosity, and dedication. We hope you’ll consider supporting us again and sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family to help grow our impact.

April 2026 Update

Dear donors!

The total expenses for the last month were 67,620 UAH (approximately $1542). Of this amount: 29,120 UAH went toward medical examinations and consultations for six torture victims (three men and three women);

16,000 UAH was paid to restore a charging station for a patient whose life depends on a continuous power source for her oxygen supply. This repair was funded by a generous $400 gift intended for a generator. However, charging stations offer significant advantages over traditional generators: they are silent, pollution-free, and suitable for indoor living spaces. Highly portable and solar-compatible, these units are essential tools for both civilians in apartments and personnel in the Ukrainian military.

We allocated 22,500 UAH to purchase a laptop for Yuriy Shapovalov, a neurologist and former political prisoner who was recently released in an August 14, 2025 exchange. Dr. Shapovalov was sentenced to 13 years for 'espionage'—in reality, for expressing pro-Ukrainian views on Twitter. Despite serving nearly eight years of a 13-year sentence, his spirit remains unbroken. Now living in Kharkiv, he is working to refresh his medical credentials; this laptop is an essential tool for his professional studies and his return to medicine.

In closing, we want to share our deepest thanks for your ongoing support. Standing with Ukraine means more now than ever. We hope you’ll consider supporting us again and sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family to help grow our impact.
