Our Current Projects
At Helping Hands for Ukraine, we hold a steadfast belief in the transformative power of peace and the sanctity of human life. Guided by these unwavering values, we are dedicated to delivering lifeline support to those ravaged by the crisis in Ukraine. Our focus is clear: to rush first aid, medical supplies and basic essentials to first responders, field medics, surgeons and hospitals.
4th Winter of the War
This is the 4th winter of the war — and for Ukrainian field medics like Dasha, Inna, Nastya, Svitlana, and Tetyana, winter brings new dangers on top of constant shelling. Along with emergency medical supplies, they urgently need winter necessities: thermal layers, body warmers, wool socks, gloves, and vitamins to keep them warm, healthy, and able to keep working in freezing conditions. These supplies help them stay on their feet — and save lives — when temperatures drop and power is unreliable.
We are a small, fully volunteer-run charity—but we make a big impact. With only 2% operational expenses, limited to unavoidable costs like credit card processing fees, an astounding 98% of all donations go directly toward purchasing and shipping life-saving aid. Our volunteers send shipments every couple of weeks, and in 2025 alone we delivered more than 16,000 pounds of humanitarian supplies. Your gifts truly go where they are needed most.
If you prefer, you can also support us by ordering directly from our Amazon wish list. The shipping address will automatically populate with ours, and we’ll carefully repack everything and ship it to Ukraine.
Please give what you can — it all adds up!

Shipping Lifesaving Medical Supplies
We’re fortunate to receive generous donations of surplus medical supplies from our partners and supporters. These critical resources include:
- Surgical equipment and instruments
- Medical gloves and personal protective gear
- Wound care and dressing supplies
- Surgical Kits and other life-saving devices
However, these donations are only half the battle. To get them into the hands of field surgeons and hospitals in Ukraine, we need your help to cover the cost of shipping.
Your support will help us transport these vital supplies from our sorting location to the front lines, clear customs and navigate complex logistics, ensure timely delivery to medical professionals and facilities
By contributing to our shipping fund, you’ll be helping to bridge the gap between our donated supplies and the people who need them most. Every dollar counts, and your support will bring us one step closer to saving lives in Ukraine.

- Bleed stop kits with Celox powder
- Mobile splints
- Bandages and wound dressings
- Gauze and medical tape
- Antiseptic wipes and pain relief medication
