Ukrainians living in the frontline are struggling without gas, electricity, and heating. They cook outside and warm up by campfires. We can provide them with critically needed gas burners to cook inside and heat their houses in winter.
Join us to help entire families survive the cold months.
200 GAS BURNERS
Enough to supply 200 independent households
As of December 31, we are halfway to our goal with $10,539.55 raised. This allows us to buy gas burners for 105 households!
It’s fast and easy way for people to cook food – outside campfires are not an option in winter. We can’t let families starve and freeze to death.
Why Gas Burners are the best option:
Our current goal: $20,000. It's enough to supply 200 independent households
Buy one burner with fill-up to supply one family
Donate any contributing amount to top up the overall amount
The trip is planned to make it in time before the coldest nights. You can help us with any amount – every dollar helps
UkraineNow & Law for People gather efforts for Vovchansk, a small town located 3 km from the Russian border. Our partners from “Law for People" have made dozens of “runs” into the danger zone to deliver tons of food, hygiene supplies, and most immediate aid to the frontlines. On their recent trip to Kupiansk, they delivered 5 tons of humanitarian aid.
With funding, their next trip will bring back the ability to cook and warm up houses to people living in the frontline territories.

We aim to supply hygiene items and baby formulas to people who lost their homes – families with children and the disabled – in Pokrovs'k, the Donetsk region. Donate and support this mission to help the most vulnerable in war.
Run by UkraineNow & The Shield
Pokrovs’k is a city in the Eastern Ukraine located just 50 km from the frontline.
Hostile artillery doesn’t reach Pokrovsk, yet, it’s not the case for hundreds of small villages nearby.
This is why hundreds of families with children have come here looking for safety. Their homes were shelled, or are currently shelled, so they settle in Pokrovsk hoping to return when the situation gets better.
Yet, Pokrovs’k suffers war consequences, too – the city infrastructure has been heavily damaged. For some, hygiene becomes a real struggle. Infants and disabled people need special care daily. Without a constant water supply, it becomes extremely challenging for locals.
For example, in Ukraine, the monthly allowance for a child up to 3 years is only UAH 860 (~$24), and the price of just one pack of diapers, which is enough for a week, is UAH 600 (~$16).
With funding, we can deliver and distribute diapers, wet wipes, baby formula to people who were forced to leave their homes.
“If the issue with food can still be resolved somehow, then the issue of hygiene is acute. There is very often no centralized water supply in the city, sometimes even for a week.”
- Mariia, volunteer of the "Shield"
The non-profit organization "Shield" will be distributing them to 50 most vulnerable families in Pokrovs'k (like families with infants, many children, and single mothers), as well as about 30 elderly people and those who cannot take care of themselves (the disabled and people with reduced mobility).

Until the issue is resolved, we want to support people who were forced to leave their homes as long as we can. War is not getting easier for them. Make a change with any small contribution.
Donate to support peopleWe have already run a few deliveries with baby formula, diapers, pads, and wet wipes. These products are in high demand for adults and babies.
