Life in Ukraine is unimaginable right now.
Rolling blackouts, hours spent hiding in darkness, drone attacks… every day is a struggle for survival. Thousands have died, millions have been displaced, and over a third of all Ukrainians are struggling with mental health disorders.
For many, Pesach is a time for family, for reflection and a celebration of freedom from the oppressor. But in Ukraine, the war still rages on and families have been torn apart, homes lost, and lives uprooted.
But with your support, we will be right by their side. We have supported 359,499 Ukrainians since war began; helping older people within and beyond the Jewish community; helping mothers and children to piece their lives back together, and making sure people are not forgotten or alone.
Will you make a gift this Pesach and stand with people in Ukraine?
Natalia's Story
Before the war, 54-year-old Natalia lived alone in the thriving city of Kherson. The granddaughter of a WW2 concentration camp survivor, she was a successful saleswoman. But that all changed when war came.
Living in one of the most bombed neighborhoods in Kherson – a city on the frontlines – she spent her days helping her older neighbors to survive. But then tragedy hit. A Russian glide bomb struck, damaging her home and killing her elderly neighbors. Natalia was distraught.
Now she has no choice but to live in her damaged home, where fallen plaster hangs from the walls. There is no heating, it is dangerous, and she lives in constant fear.
Thanks to our supporters, we could provide Natalia with a mattress, appliances, basic repairs to her home and emergency food packages. “They did not abandon me; the food helps so much. I have no one else left.” But there are thousands of Ukrainians still in desperate need of support.
And like so many across Ukraine, Natalia worries about what will happen next. That is why – now more than ever – we must stand with people like Natalia in Ukraine.
Will you stand with Ukraine?
Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, our supporters have helped us reach over 359,499 Ukrainians across 388 towns and cities.
Working alongside our network of local partners, we have been delivering food and medicine to frontline towns; supporting older Jewish people with homecare; repairing bomb damaged homes; providing support to families including psychological and trauma counseling for children and mothers; helping people with accommodation; providing training and skills to help people find work so they can try and earn money and have some sense of normality.
With your support, we can save lives and help Ukrainians survive this terrible war. Will you stand with the people of Ukraine?
