Help Ukrainians Survive and Resist Russian Attack

My name is Maryna Bilyk. I am a psychologist who moved from Ukraine to the USA 2½ years ago. I have friends, colleagues, and immediate family members in Ukraine. Ukrainians are in constant danger right now. Many are being killed. Already, a very close friend of mine was gunned down and killed when he was trying to help someone who was injured. His family cannot even bury him, as the fighting continues around him. I cannot just watch and do nothing. This is why I set up this fund.

Ukrainians are fighting and defending Ukraine’s independence as well as democracy throughout the world. They are surrounded and are being attacked daily and they do not have the proper equipment, medical supplies, and food that they need. Some regions, such as the Sumy region, have been completely cut off. The Russians have destroyed bridges and roads and are also directly attacking civilians. Villagers are trying to defend themselves and trying to survive the constant attacks.

I am asking for help to save lives. Please donate to help provide needed supplies, protective equipment (helmets and vests), medication and bandages, blankets and sleeping bags, and protective gear. Some need financial help so they can escape, especially women and children. They don’t have the money they need to pay for gas and supplies to escape the violence. All funds received will be sent to help Ukrainians in desperation and danger, to help them survive and resist Russian attacks. Thank you for taking the time to read this for any help you can provide to save lives.
