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!

We are already on the way to the border crossing in Medyka, so we can reach with our help to the migrants from Ukraine who need it the most. Those are thousands of mothers, children and seniors, who had to leave everything they held dear. We’re going to them with thermoses, warm blankets and a plan to immediately create a real Factory of Good close to the border.
We want it to be a help point in which they can find a warm meal, medical aid and information about places to stay. Since the early morning we are organizing free beds, buses and kitchenware.
We can only provide aid as long as we have financial means for it – that is why we ask you to join the fundraiser which we started specifically for this purpose. We cannot imagine a situation in which we have to deny someone help just because we were a few złoty short to get another warm meal. We could be in such a situation ourselves!
This is a critical moment, when Poland doesn’t have ready procedures yet, there aren’t enough places for the migrants to stay, nor even organized food aid. But the number of people in need of help is rising with every hour. That is natural – the conflict started only yesterday and even to us the situation still seems surreal. But we’re on our way and we are ready to help RIGHT NOW!
We need you – please check our fundraiser and donate even an equivalent of the price of one doughnut – we will turn it into a nutritious meal, warm mittens, a thermal blanket or fuel for the bus, which we’ll use to take people in need in a safe, warm place.

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 […]
