Help Ukraine Survive
Our motto is Non Sibi
In Ukrainian it is Не Собі
In Latin it means "not for self"
Every day hundreds of thousands of men and women in Ukraine wake up to a day of giving.
They give everything they have to protect family, friends, homes, country, freedom - protecting it from ruthless attacks on schools, hospitals, ambulances, apartment buildings.
They serve as doctors and medics, as cooks and drivers, as volunteers delivering aid, and as defenders protecting their homes and families.
From thousands of miles away, safe in our own country, it might seem impossible to help. But we too can help hold back that wave of terror. Read more here see how you can help.
Our Mission
Ukraine Crisis Aid Group is a charitable nonprofit humanitarian aid organization. We gather donations of funds and supplies to directly help those affected by the invasion of Ukraine.
We focus on:
- medical tools and supplies to support doctors and medics
- emergency and first aid supplies to help medics, volunteers, and defenders
- ambulances for civilian hospitals and paramedic teams
- protective tools and supplies, such as eye and ear protection, camouflage, and electronic jammers to protect ambulances from drone attack.
Our Organization
We are lean. We are frugal.
We are hands-on. We are not bystanders.
We have no paid staff. We are volunteers. We donate our time and we fund the overheads. So, when you donate to Ukraine Crisis Aid, 100% of your donation goes to buying and shipping critical humanitarian aid.
Ukraine Crisis Aid Group is a humanitarian aid organization incorporated as a nonprofit in the State of New Hampshire, USA and an IRS-approved 501(c)3 tax-exempt charity which enables most US donors to benefit from tax deductible donations.
Our Main Aid Projects
Amazon to Dnipro
You can choose on our page on Amazon exactly which first aid and protective supplies you want to send to Ukraine. Amazon ships it to us in New Hampshire. We repack it efficiently and bulk ship the items to trusted local charities in Ukraine who then drive it directly to where it is needed most.
Our Amazon gift list (see link below) is curated by listening to the needs of actual medics, volunteers ,and defenders who are living it every day. We adjust the list seasonally for weather and based on shortages that we are told about.
While the main Ukrainian Army is well-supplied, the volunteers and the medics who support them depend largely on private donations of medical supplies, protective gear, replacement clothing and footwear, and emergency rations.
First aid items, health and hygiene products, replacement clothing, emergency food rations, camouflage netting and clothing, and some other basics - you choose from the list on Amazon and it couldn't be easier. You can even use your Amazon reward points to cover your contribution.
If you would like a tax receipt for your Amazon gift list donation, please email: taxreceipts@ukrainecrisisaid.org and include a screenshot or photo of your Amazon order.
Surplus for Survival
Everyone has a doctor or a friend who is a doctor or nurse or EMT. Maybe you are a medical professional, emergency services first responder, or urgent care or clinic staff member.
You have expired or surplus medical supplies that you won't use. We need them. Medical teams in Ukraine need them. Expired supplies are better than no supplies at all (except medicines of course, we cannot accept or ship prescription medicines or expired ingestible liquids or tablets.)
Please ask your doctor or clinic or fire department if they any expired or surplus supplies. We will pick them up from you within 150 miles of Boston. Email us at info@ukrainecrisisaid.org
Power to Save Lives
Imagine if your local hospital lost power 2-5 times every day due to rocket and artillery strikes on the power grid. Now imagine that your hospital has a big generator or two to take care of power outages, so that surgeries and scans and ventilators will all keep going - except that someone keeps dropping accurate bombs onto your giant expensive diesel generators. We don’t need to imagine it, because we've seen it firsthand. It is the reality every day in Ukrainian cities within 50-100 miles of the front lines, where millions of people live and many die every day under bombardment.
There is a solution - distributed power backup units. Each power unit is portable - a large hardened case on wheels - and they are being used right now as backups in hospital operating rooms, intensive care units, blood banks, medical diagnostic labs, ambulances, and paramedic rescue teams - where lives will be lost, if power is lost.
Ukraine Crisis Aid Group has partnered with the Mamay Foundation in Ukraine and New Use Energy, a US-producer of power backup and continuity solutions. NUEnergy and Mamay have been generously donating backup power units to nonprofit hospitals, ambulance services, and rescue teams in Ukraine for the past three years of war. We have personally witnessed the integrity of their supply procedures and physical delivery process and they are the real deal - getting power backup where it is needed most - and where it will save the most lives.
These power backup units are more than just for backup - they are energy hubs that enable stable energy supply and all are solar-ready to be used with flexible portable solar panels. They'll serve not only for the duration of the war and associated medical care crisis - they are intended for a service life of up to 15 years. And being portable, as the situation in Ukraine evolves, they can be redeployed to the areas where they are most needed.
This partnership puts the power to save innocent civilian lives into your hands with the click of a button.
More Ways to Help
Ambulance Aid
Over 600 civilian ambulances have been lost so far in the war in Ukraine.
Ukraine Crisis Aid Group has so far donated 3 ambulances in collaboration with Medical Life Lines Ukraine, a British charity that purchases used ambulances, refurbishes and stocks them with medical supplies, and enlists volunteer drivers to deliver the ambulances from England to Ukraine. Medical Life Lines Ukraine has so far donated over 90 ambulances to Ukraine replacing some of the ambulances which have been destroyed by Russian attacks.
Some ambulances are lost in missile or bombing attacks on hospitals and clinics. Others are hunted but special Russian Army drone teams tasked with finding and destroying ambulances. These drone teams ruthlessly drop 82mm mortar rounds or RPG warheads onto ambulances or fly kamikaze FPV drones directly into ambulances. The paramedics and ambulance drivers who are killed are irreplaceable, but we can replace the ambulances.
Protect an Ambulance
We can help to protect ambulances. Ukraine Crisis Aid Group is working with another charity and a team of engineers to install drone jamming kits on civilian ambulances in Ukraine in cities within 100km/60miles of the front lines. The idea is to intercept the radio signal of the drone and confuse it or clone it, so that it can crash, usually harmlessly, instead of blowing up an ambulance, with paramedics and patient inside. You can help us save lives and save ambulances.
You can help equip an ambulance in Ukraine with a drone jamming protection device. Save paramedic lives and prevent a hospital's ambulance from being blown up.
You can help buy and install a drone jammer today online by credit card here:
