Russian bombs and missiles are raining on Ukraine. Innocent people, including children, are dying. Three million people left Ukraine and became refugees.
Even more were forced to leave their homes and move to a safer place. Everyone is shocked and appalled by the atrocities committed by the Russian army:
torturing and executing women and children in Bucha and Irpen, shelling refugee convoys from Mariupol and Kharkiv, not letting humanitarian aid to Mariupol.
As the Russian army recedes, we become witnesses of numerous war crimes.
The war in Ukraine is not a local conflict, this is a struggle between the Free World and tyranny. Ukrainian spirit is strong and their resolve is unwavering.
Ukrainians are fighting bravely and effectively, not only for their independence, but for the freedom of each and one of us. It is crucial that Ukraine is
not left alone in this fight. We strongly believe that providing help on a smaller scale, but in a targeted way, is not less important than helping at
the level of nations.
This is the reason we started our nonprofit organization ShieldUkraine.US
Acting on a smaller scale can be faster and more efficient
Our mission: We provided humanitarian aid and emergency relief, supported students and refugees, and promoted other charitable initiatives for the people of Ukraine
within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3). Even before consolidating Shield Ukraine our network sent tens of thousands of dollars worth life-saving supplies from Europe to Ukraine, from
tourniquets to ballistic vests. We extended our network in the US.
Efficiency: Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, we created a logistics network with our friends and volunteers from Europe, allowing for delivery of
supplies to Ukrainian cities. Operating on a smaller scale allowed us to be more precise and targeted in providing help very fast. We had direct contact with different
people on the ground whose specific needs we tried to meet.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, partnered with us, or spread the word about our work.
Your support made these efforts possible.
