Fundraising to help Ukraine

Ukrainians of Colorado is announcing a major fundraising campaign to support people in Ukraine who at this moment are suffering from the horrific devastation of the unprovoked invasion of this peace loving nation.

The first round of support involves working with Project Cure, the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies, equipment and services to doctors and nurses serving the sick and dying in more than 135 countries, to ship medical supplies to Ukraine. Donors to Ukrainians of Colorado can either purchase medical kits from Project Cure and designate them for Ukraine, or donate directly to Ukrainians of Colorado. The organization will not be taking any administrative or processing fees, so all monies donated will go directly to support those in need in Ukraine.

Additional monies will fund the purchase of supplies and humanitarian aid for Ukrainians through a network of established providers in Ukraine. Ukrainians of Colorado is also accepting donations of goods and medical supplies, as specified the Donation Page of our website.

“Our goal for this first round of fundraising is $100,000.00”, said Andy Lenec, a Ukrainian American volunteer who also served in the US Peace Corps in Ukraine, and who is coordinating the fundraising campaign and handling media relations. “This is a drop in the bucket with regard to the needs of Ukraine right now, but it is a starting point for us. Given our knowledge of Ukraine and her people, and our numerous contacts across the country, we feel that we are the most appropriate and efficient agency to collect money and supplies for the relief effort.”
