RUSSIA LAUNCHED A LARGE-SCALE INVASION OF UKRAINE!
We are pleading for your support! As the war in Ukraine continues, the suffering of its people and children has intensified. Your donation will not only help the families who have suffered, but will also symbolize your support for freedom and democracy, principles all civilized nations should uphold.
Six months ago, the UN published an article by Afshan Khan that describes the devastating
effect of the war on the Ukrainian children and refugees and explains why this help is needed so urgently today.
Below is an excerpt:
"…Today, as we approach six months of devastation and displacement for the people of Ukraine, it is children
who are suffering the deadly consequence of a brutal war not of their making. In areas across eastern and
southern Ukraine, they continue to be caught in the crossfire of ongoing hostilities, while schools, hospitals
and other civilian infrastructure on which they depend continues to be damaged or destroyed. With at least 3 millions
children across Ukraine in need of humanitarian assistance, and at least two thirds of them displaced, every child
in Ukraine has been affected by this war….
This World Humanitarian Day, aid workers in Ukraine and around the world are facing challenges on a level never seen
before, with a key issue being access to those in need. And while these challenges may seem unsurmountable, with
the most rapid mobilization of international assistance on record, we have seen what is possible when we come
together in solidarity and partnership. The support we have seen thus far for the ongoing Ukraine emergency has
demonstrated the type of humanitarian response that is needed with today's cascading crises of conflict,
malnutrition, displacement, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and climate crisis. It must be extended to children
also impacted by the knock-on effects of the war — from increased fuel costs to sky-rocketing food costs—and it
must continue for the children of Ukraine."
Since our nonprofit, Direct Help Foundation, was founded, our first and foremost goal has been to help children.
As the war continues, the need for help has become more urgent, and our resources are rapidly depleting. Your
financial support is crucial to the lives of the people who are suffering. Please join us in this humanitarian
effort. Your gift will go directly to those in desperate need of help.
