We are supporting a transitional Refugee shelter in Lviv, a city in western Ukraine (around 70 kilometers from the border with Poland). This place is one of the last remaining large cities that remains somewhat safe. Through close collaboration with couple of a brave and dedicated professionals; we strive towards raising resources so we can continue providing:
  • Shelter and beds for 35 people in Lviv, as well as offering a place for rest and recovery for the incoming refugees. We are hoping to expand these locations to be able to expand to other shelters.
  • Food for about 1000 people per day at the train station.
  • Support Local Doctors that are working night shifts at a makeshift medical clinic at the train station, to treat people who have traveled for 24 to 36 hours standing up in a train to escape the conflict areas and have developed new health concerns from the long trip or have exacerbated existing health conditions.
  • Helping those same people move forward and out of Ukraine by arranging bus transportation to Romania. Mostly women and children traveling alone because the men and teen boys have to stay and fight.
  • A bus with 25 people capacity cost of $300 for the trip to Romania.
