Ukraine Needs You Now More Than Ever
After more than three years of relentless conflict, the people of Ukraine continue to suffer daily under the weight of russian aggression.
In 2025, Moscow has escalated its brutal campaign by targeting civilians in their homes and Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Over 80% of the country’s thermal power plants and half of its hydroelectric stations have been destroyed. These attacks have devastated the supply of electricity, water, and gas — creating a humanitarian catastrophe and plunging millions into hardship and uncertainty.
The violence extends beyond infrastructure. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the World Health Organization has verified more than 2,400 attacks on Ukraine’s healthcare system. Hospitals, clinics and essential medical services have been bombed, making even basic care painfully out of reach for countless families.
But amid this darkness, Ukrainians remain unbroken.
They continue to stand strong — defending their homes, their children, their democracy and their right to a future. And they need our support more than ever.

Children Cannot Wait
Ukraine’s children — the most vulnerable victims of this war — are at the heart of our mission. Across the country, we’ve created safe homes and trauma centres that offer therapy, community, and even joy through summer camps and activities. We’ve also funded life-saving surgeries that give young lives a second chance.
