Support us and help Ukrainian refugees and Polish families
survive the war.

Who We Are

We are American Catholic families who, moved by the human tragedy caused by the war in Ukraine, decided to help refugees as well as families left behind on the battlefield.

 

We work with trusted volunteer groups that reside in the USA, Poland and Ukraine 

(Kansas metro, Warsaw, Krakow, Chelm, Kiev, Lviv, Dnipro region, Kharkov region, Zaporizhzhia region, Donetsk region and Mariupol), supporting resettled children and families, as well as those who remain in Ukraine

- providing them with essential supplies to survive.

​

We are people of faith, desiring to love with merciful love, bringing help to those in need,

as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ.
