2022 Support for Ukrainian Refugees
On the morning of February 24th, Russian forces launched a multi-pronged invasion by land, air, and sea on Ukraine. As the conflict continues, there are many reports of wide spread damage, human casualties, as well as population movements of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing towards the west and away from fighting. Russian special forces and airborne troops have targeted major cities including Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. Fierce fighting has focused around three of Ukraine’s cities as the conflict expands and escalates putting more and more civilians in danger. The European Union member states and other countries are mobilizing humanitarian aid focusing on the flood of refugees.
Regalitos is raising funds to donate to the Americares Foundation to help support the people harmed and displaced by this conflict.
Americares Foundation is a health-focused relief and development organization that responds to people affected by poverty or disaster with life-changing medicine, medical supplies and health programs. Their emergency programs help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters. They provide millions of people around the world access to medicine and supplies.
Americares has an emergency response team in Poland to support health services for families affected by the escalating humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The team has expertise in coordinating large-scale shipments of medicine and relief supplies and mobilizing emergency medical teams in crisis situations.
“We’re focused on meeting the health needs of families caught in the violence and those fleeing Ukraine,” said Americares Vice President of Emergency Programs Kate Dischino. “There’s an urgent need for medicine and medical supplies as well as basic relief items to protect health. At the same time, Ukraine is battling rapidly rising COVID-19 infections and a polio outbreak. It’s a humanitarian crisis with immense health needs and we’re ready to help.”
Please consider donating to help the people of Ukraine. Thank you!
