Several ways one can help Ukraine during Russian attacks
Due to the Russian invasion that has left thousands of Ukrainians dead, homeless, and separated from their families, many people around the world feel compelled to support Ukraine during this difficult time.
Those interested in helping can do so in several ways:

The donations will be used to fill each backpack with medical supplies, such as bandages, gloves, and ibuprofen, for five to 10 people in need.
Vostok SOS
As a non-governmental organization, Vostok SOS provides assistance to victims of military aggression throughout Eastern Europe.
Amidst the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Vostok SOS has prioritized helping people evacuate, providing humanitarian aid and offering psychosocial support.
