Direct Aid Ukraine delivers urgent medical aid to the front lines. We are a London-based team with families and friends in Ukraine. Our founding members work in the healthcare industry. We provide photo and video evidence of all aid purchases and deliveries to ensure our supporters have complete visibility of how funds are spent.

We want everyone to share in the joy of helping orphans! Having adopted 4 children from Ukraine, we are truly blessed! Since our first trip to Ukraine in 2003, we have been looking for more ways to get our community plugged into helping these forgotten orphans that were left behind. Seeing meaningful change occur in the lives of these children inspires us all! In 2007 we started our non-profit called Ukraine Orphan Outreach and are still going strong as we start our 17th year of working in Ukraine.

My name is June Kathryn Minix, and I am an American mother of five, an activist, and a humanitarian, with a background in Holocaust studies. I am the founder of Women For Ukraine - Жінки для України.

“OSA” is an NGO that derived from a Kyiv citizens volunteer movement. In the beginning we were delivering humanitarian and military aid, evacuating civilians in the Kyiv region when russians were just a few kilometers away, and further transferring our efforts to the most “hot” places on the front line. Currently we are bringing civilians humanitarian aid to liberated territories (Kharkiv, Kherson, Luhansk and Donetsk regions) and to places where the fight doesn’t stop (Bakhmut, Lyman frontline), and we are also purchasing, repairing and delivering cars to the army, as well as needed military equipment.

My name is Rose and I’m a volunteer with Mission Ukraine, a group of Brits & Ukrainians working together to deliver aid directly to those who need it most in Ukraine. We’ve delivered over £1m worth of aid so far. We’re staffed entirely by volunteers so there are no overheads. We need your donations to keep giving and supporting Ukraine and the Ukrainians

I’m Johnny Rogers with Ukrainian Relief Fund, we’re an organization that delivers humanitarian aid to people in need in Ukraine. At first I came over to Ukraine to do whatever I can to help. We ended up helping anyone and everyone we could. I rode along with a few different organizations and helped with distributing supplies and acted as a support medic. Then I realized there is no organization or communication between the various humanitarian groups, the supply collection points, or the people sending the supplies. I then went to locate all of the warehouses I could and contact as many humanitarian groups as possible and also locating and contacting the people collecting the supplies in America in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Ohio. Now I’m trying to get video content to post and share while I’m delivering supplies to the east.

She is a refugee from Kyiv and currently is in Germany with her son while I'm here in the US, WA
