Friend, by now you probably know that the worst has come to pass in Ukraine. Russia has initiated an attack on Ukraine — a country already in a humanitarian crisis. Now millions more lives are at risk.

This terrible violence will force hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians from their homes. Access to basic needs, healthcare and shelter will be jeopardized as the numbers of displaced Ukrainians grow. You can help people in Ukraine and empower frontline workers and other communities facing health crises with the tools they need to save lives.

“Civilians have already been killed, just hours into this conflict. At least one hospital has already been hit. Long lines of people are trying to flee major cities. These numbers will get exponentially worse and add to the more than 850,000 internally displaced people already struggling to survive in Ukraine,”
— Chris Skopec, Executive Vice President of Global Health

Project HOPE is already at work to save lives — our Emergency Response team and partners in Europe are sending critically needed medical supplies and are prepared to provide health screening, basic supplies and vital care for refugees as this tragic situation unfolds. Rush your emergency gift to reach children, families and health workers in need around the world.

We are deeply concerned about the physical and mental health and safety of Ukrainians, especially the most vulnerable: elderly people, the children and the sick. Project HOPE has worked in Ukraine since 2002 alleviating the burden of diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

With this conflict escalating quickly, the children and families fleeing their homes for safety are our priority, and we condemn any actions that put innocent people in harm’s way. We must act now to save lives — please make your emergency gift today.

From sending vital medical equipment to activating and training doctors and nurses, your gift today means Project HOPE can work move quickly to help whenever and wherever disasters or diseases threaten communities.

As always, thank you for your attention and compassion in these difficult times. You are truly at the heart of everything we do.
