Help Ukrainians

We have been in Ukraine for a week readying the launch of a non-profit to benefit internally displaced Ukrainians. In the coming week we will travel north, east and south in the country to visits sites in support of an amazing Ukrainian relief organization that is providing vital assistance and relief services to thousands of internally displaced Ukrainians.

Vostok SOS USA is the sister organization to Vostok SOS which was founded in 2014 after the Russian invasion of the Donbas and Crimea. It was started by highly motivated people displaced from their homes by the conflict. The mission of Vostok SOS has expanded greatly with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
