UPDATE 5.27.22

Almost 1,100 Ukrainian Refugees Placed In Homes!

HOPE worldwide, working with our partners throughout Europe, has been able to place almost 1,100 Ukrainian Refugees in homes. Our team is coordinating with our staff & volunteers in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom to provide these refugee families with financial, emotional, and physical support.

The process begins with our HOPE worldwide staff, working with Ukrainian-speaking volunteers, and contacting refugee families seeking help. Over the process of 2-10 days, our team is able to help these families work through the legal process, provide emotional support, supply the financial means, and organize transportation to the home of their host families.

As the refugee families arrive at their new homes, they are met with love and compassion from HOPE worldwide staff and volunteers. Since the first week of the war, our team in Europe has set up care teams with Ukrainian or Russian-speaking volunteers for the Ukrainians. For refugees needing psychological support, our team connects them with Ukrainian-speaking psychologists via Zoom or in the cities they have relocated to.

The families are provided with vouchers for groceries, hygiene articles, clothes, as well as shoes if needed. It can take anywhere from a few days up to two-three weeks until they receive financial support from the state, making the supply of vouchers very important. Your financial support has helped to fund these vouchers as well as warm meals and emergency supplies for Ukrainian refugees.

After a day or two of rest for the refugees, the real work begins. People have to register and go through a strenuous process that involves a lot of administrative work. There are a lot of papers and applications to fill out that people need a lot of help with. This is where our HOPE worldwide staff volunteers are highly necessary and invaluable. Our experience has shown that the registration process takes about 6-8 weeks and without support, it takes about 5-6 weeks more.

Your donations have supported this great work as well as the ongoing food and medicine distribution throughout Ukraine. Thank you for your generosity and support during this crisis. It has had a tremendous impact on those in need. If you would like to support, click the link below:

UPDATE 5.20.22

We are excited to share that the 30,000 pounds of medicine and supplies (valued at $20 million) sent by HOPE worldwide in partnership with Heart to Heart International has been distributed to around 100 hospitals and clinics in Ukraine by the Ministry of Health.
