On the 24th of February 2022, Russia launched a military offensive into Ukraine, causing civilian casualties and destroying the country’s infrastructure. More than a quarter of the population has been forced to flee their homes. In the first few weeks, more than 4.3 million refugees fled Ukraine, and a second as many were internally displaced. It is the fastest growing refugee crisis since World War II.
We cannot be indifferent to the suffering of our neighbours – we immediately set out to help!

Our week-long mission at the border has come to an end. However, this is not the end of the intensive work for us, but only the beginning.
We have counted. In 7 days we helped over 4200 people. Among them are those to whom we provided aid at the very last moment. Freezing and hungry, they regained their strength and were able to move on, thanks to you.
On the way back to Warsaw, we visited Sister Małgorzata Chmielewska, and thanked her profusely for the fact that, thanks to the bus which she had lent us, we were able to spend those seven days on the Ukrainian side and help the Ukrainians fleeing the war.
Today we are all back in our Warsaw headquarters, which has not been talked about much over the last week, although it should have been, because nothing is impossible for our team. Keep your fingers crossed, because we are about to move on to other tasks, even further into Ukraine, as well as to organise reception and transit points in Warsaw. The first shipment of bread left today, the next one will leave tomorrow. A total of 21,000 loaves. Warm jackets, shoes and several dozen sets of thermal underwear are also on their way to Kiev.
Stay tuned. There will be plenty of action!
The fundraiser “Help Ukraine” is running! Join in today as the needs are ever greater, especially in war-stricken Ukraine.

To our questions about estimated casualty numbers, the most common answer is: “A lot! On both sides!”. Exactly how many no one knows, because getting aid to the occupied territories is like asking the aggressor for an open day in his trenches. On the 11th of June, the Russians fired on a boat with civilians […]

What if this was your neighbourhood? If, between the billowing smoke, you spotted the ruins of the grocery store where you had shopped since you were a child? To which your mother would still send you with a list written in pencil on a piece of paper so you wouldn’t forget anything? Bachmut had more […]
