How to Help Ukraine Right Now

How to Help Ukraine
Right Now*
In the first large European
war in Ukraine in decades
the invasion intensifies
every hour. The harm
and damage it is doing to
the people of Ukraine –
is not only saddening; it
will cause harm for many
years to come. According
to a recent statement
sent out Tuesday, March
1st, UNICEF’s new Executive
Director Catherine M.
Russell shared, “We are
receiving reports of hospitals,
schools, water and
sanitation facilities and
orphanages under fire.
Explosive weapons in populated
areas and explosive
remnants of war are real
and present dangers for the
children of Ukraine.” Russell
also shared what many
of us have been hearing in
the news, “Children have
been killed. Children have
been wounded. And children
are being profoundly
traumatized by the violence
all around them.”
Here are charities currently
on the ground in
Ukraine helping the people
of this country with immediate
aid.
Catholic Relief
Service
CRS and their partner
Caritas Ukraine are asking
for donation in order to continue
and provide more support
as the Ukraine. Pre crisis
Caritas Ukraine humanitarian
assistance for Ukraine
has been in the form of

Ukraine. Currently they are
on the ground providing the

some toys.
