Angels For Ukraine

Happy Ukraine's Independence Day! Ukraine will prevail!

Last week, Angels For Ukraine signed the Memorandum of Understanding with the Rebuilding our Ukraine Foundation to join forces in implementing charity projects focused on support for people directly affected by the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The main focus of cooperation will be scaling the ReH2O project, which provides civilians in war-affected regions with access to drinking water. As of now, 10 drinking water treatment plants have been installed in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Mykolaiv regions. However, the needs are much higher. At least 150 units shall be placed in villages, towns, and cities in the east, north, and south of Ukraine. “It is critically important to unite efforts and provide better access to drinking water for people affected by an ongoing war. We, as Angels for Ukraine, responded to the humanitarian consequences of the horrific explosion of the Kakhovka Dam organized by russian occupation forces in June 2023. Last summer, we distributed over 5,500 food parcels and 65,000 liters of bottled drinking water in the Kherson region. Placing drinking water treatment plants can solve the water issue for locals for an extended period. In such a difficult humanitarian situation, applying sustainable and long-term solutions is crucial. And ReH2O is one of them,” – Vladyslav Shelokov, the President of Angels for Ukraine, shares his thoughts on future cooperation. Angels for Ukraine will continue to work with its donors and partners to organize complex support for projects focused on lasting solutions to guarantee people's access to drinking water.

The repair work on the bombshelter at Sumy's specialized school for children with special educational needs has ended. Today, the premises for safety, with a total area of about 170 square meters, are ready before the beginning of the study year. The bombshelter was upgraded with the new ventilation system, which is installed in compliance with all technical requirements. The floor has undergone a major repair. Also, the premises received new wiring, a Wi-fi router, and a radio to stay updated with information from the emergency services during the Air Raid Alarm. After the repairs, the bombshelter is ready to serve children and school personnel in an emergency situation, such as Air Raid Alarms. This project is implemented with support from children and parents of the Ukrainian Catholic School named after Cardinal Yosyp Slipy (Toronto, Canada) and the All-Ukrainian League of Ukrainian Women. We are glad that we could contribute to its successful completion. #bombshelter #children #Sumy #Ukraine #support

Brooks Newmark, cofounder of Angels for Ukraine, visited Tytanovi Osteo-Integrative Prosthetics Clinic and Rehabilitation Center during his recent visit to Kyiv. Brooks met with patients, prosthetists, and medical professionals. He witnessed firsthand the resilience of individuals who had faced unimaginable challenges and the dedication of the clinic staff. Mr. Newmark had an open dialog with Oleksandr, who is wearing the latest prosthetic arm. The veteran told Brooks about the rehabilitation process and how he trained himself to operate a prosthesis freely. After that, the Angels for Ukraine cofounder met with Viacheslav Zaporozehts, the CEO of Tytanovi, and they discussed the current needs of the rehabilitation center and demobilized soldiers who are undergoing rehabilitation. As the conflict continues, the Tytanovi Center remains committed to its mission. With support from donors, it strives to empower war survivors by providing them with functional and aesthetically pleasing prosthetics. Brooks Newmark’s visit serves as a reminder that compassion and collaboration can make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by war. #Ukraine #rehabilitation #veterans

On May 23, 2024, the Angels For Ukraine and the Kyiv Regional Mental Health Center signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on providing mental health services to Ukrainians impacted by the ongoing war with russia. The partnership aims to increase access to counseling, therapy, and support groups for those suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues resulting from the war. Angels for Ukraine will help mobilize resources for the center to expand its services and capacity. "Having witnessed unspeakable horrors, many Ukrainians are understandably suffering from severe psychological trauma," said Raitis Bullits, cofounder of Angels for Ukraine. "This collaboration will allow us to provide the care and support they urgently require on a much wider scale." The partnership will prioritize aiding groups like children, soldiers, and veterans dealing with PTSD and those who have experienced violence, loss of loved ones, or destruction of their homes and communities. Mental health professionals from the center will also help train volunteers and staff from Angels for Ukraine and other organizations on trauma counseling and psychological first aid. The joint initiative underscores the increasing global recognition that the mental health crisis in Ukraine requires a massive humanitarian response. Both organizations lauded the memorandum as an important step in that effort. #MHPSS #Ukraine #support
