BE THE LIFELINE: SUPPORT UKRAINE'S HARDEST WINTER.

* Donations are tax deductible

Ukraine Needs You Now More Than Ever

At -5 degrees your core temperature drops and blood vessels constrict - leading to slowing of brain function, hypothermia, frostbite and death. It’s a rare problem in Australia but winter temperatures in Ukraine regularly get down to -10 to-15 overnight.

Moscow has destroyed over 80% of Ukraine's thermal power plants. This is an attack on life itself—cutting off heat, clean water, and power for hospitals.

As winter approaches, 12.7 million people are facing life-threatening cold ❄️. Children are the most vulnerable.

The Crisis: Power is Life ⚡️

Generators are the single most urgent need. They are the lifeline keeping children warm and hospitals functioning.

You become part of that lifeline when you donate.

Children Cannot Wait

Ukraine’s children — the most vulnerable victims of this war — are at the heart of our mission. Across the country, we’ve created safe homes and trauma centres that offer therapy, community, and even joy through summer camps and activities. We’ve also funded life-saving surgeries that give young lives a second chance.

You Can Help Rebuild Hope

This war is not over. Every dollar you give helps save lives, rebuild shattered communities, and remind Ukrainians they are not alone.

Stand with Ukraine. Donate today. Help us bring light back into the lives of those living in the shadow of Putin’s war.
