Providing essential support to Ukrainian and Israeli families
Since March 2022 we've been dedicated to assisting Ukrainian refugee families affected by the war, whether they arrived in the US or remained in the Ukraine.
Now, we have extended our mission to include support for Israelis.
Our comprehensive program encompasses everything from finding temporary homes in the US; providing medical and dental aid, legal assistance and necessary documentation, to offering food, supplies, and crucial psychological support. Learn more below.
