On February 24, 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. Since then more than 2 million people from Ukraine have been displaced.

Our charitable mandate includes our dedication to poverty relief for families in disaster-stricken areas. That is why The Democracy Fund is proud to announce its latest fundraising campaign to help the people of Ukraine. 

This is a crisis.

How to help:

The Democracy Fund is raising money for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and we need your help.

This is not about politics. This is not about the invasion. This isn’t even about Vladamir Putin. 

This is about the millions of innocent women and children who had to flee their homes and leave everything behind. 

Many of them surrendering their loved ones to stay and fight to defend their country.

All of the funds donated on this page (and only those funds from this page) will be donated to Samaritan's Purse.

Samaritan's Purse:

Samaritan's Purse is in the process of setting up an Emergency Field Hospital on the outskirts of Lviv, in western Ukraine. Our DC-8 cargo plane airlifted the initial phase of the hospital on March 4 along with Disaster Assistance Response Team members—including doctors, nurses, and logistics and other personnel. After landing in Poland, the team and equipment were transported overland into the war-torn nation of Ukraine. An additional DC-8 flight on March 8 brought more materials for the hospital.

The field hospital will have two operating rooms, with capacity for 14 major surgeries or 30 minor surgeries per day. There will be nearly 60 total inpatient beds, including four intensive care unit beds and four step-down beds. The emergency room can handle 100 patients per day. The facility also has a pharmacy and its own water and sanitation system. Additional equipment is scheduled to be flown to Poland and taken into Ukraine later this week.

“Ukrainian families are hurting and in desperate need of physical aid and prayer during this difficult time,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse. “We are deploying life-saving medical care to aid people who are suffering. We want to meet the needs of these families in their darkest moments while pointing them to the light and hope of Jesus Christ.”

Samaritan's Purse has additional disaster response specialists on the ground in Poland, Romania, and Moldova, and we plan to send a smaller medical clinic bound for Moldova on an additional flight this week.

Samaritan's Purse has long been partnering with more than 3,200 churches inside Ukraine. As conflict erupted, we were in the process of distributing 600,000 Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes. We remain in contact with ministry partners in the country to see how we can assist during this crisis. Please pray for God to grant them strength and protection.

The world is shocked and horrified by the images of death and destruction coming out of Ukraine, a catastrophe we have not witnessed in Europe since the Second World War. The United Nations reports that more than 2 million refugees, primarily women and children, have already left Ukraine seeking shelter in nearby countries.

Your donation will help those impacted by the crisis in Ukraine.

Thank you for your generosity.
