Congratulations to Brian Mefford of Help Ukraine 22 for winning “Philanthropist of the Year” Award from the Association of Charities of Ukraine! The competition was tough, but Brian & Help Ukraine 22's tireless efforts to provide relief to Ukraine stood out among the 1,500 organizations and individuals nominated for various awards. Help Ukraine 22 provided immediate ground relief as soon as the war broke out—in contrast to other organizations that took months to distribute resources—and has helped Ukraine rebuild amid destruction. In 2023, Help Ukraine 22 focuses around healing the invisible, mental wounds of the war, including the effects of the war on soldiers' mental health. We are so honored to work with Help Ukraine 22 as they continue such important work! Click HERE for the full story.
We're also continuing to support animal relief efforts after Russia destroyed a dam in southern Ukraine. The dam connected to a power plant; the destruction of the dam necessitated mass evacuation and caused floods. We're sharing this fundraiser by a friend of ours so the animals of Kherson (especially shelter animals) can be brought to safety. To learn more and to donate, click HERE.
