DONATE NOW TO RAISE $1,000,000
FOR OHMATDYT CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
For more than ten years now, Ukraine has been the victim of countless war crimes committed by the Russian military. But the July 8th attacks on the Children’s Hospital Ohmatdyt, maternity hospital and fertility clinic in Kyiv is undeniable proof that Russia is waging a genocidal war on Ukraine: targeting Ukrainian children – the healthy, the seriously ill, and the unborn.
The Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal is launching a one-month campaign to raise one million dollars for the hospital and its patients. Please donate now.
At least 41 people died as a result of the attack, and more than 170 are injured. Countless seriously ill children no longer have a place to receive treatment. This is the aftermath of July 8th attacks across multiple cities in Ukraine, including Kyiv.
Ohmatdyt is the largest specialized children’s hospital in Ukraine, treating 20,000 children and performing 10,000 surgeries annually. It is where young cancer patients get treatment. For many children, this is their last chance to recover and regain their health and childhood, and ensure they live a full life. The consequences of a rocket hit for these children are irreparable, including sickness from the suddenly non-sterile conditions, physical injuries, and death.
The CUF-UCC joint Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Committee is actively working with the management of the Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital to best target all the funds we raise through this special fundraising drive.
Donate now to get the help to the young patients clinging to life at Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital.
The Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal has been established jointly by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) and the Canada Ukraine Foundation (CUF) to formalize a coordinated approach in providing humanitarian assistance quickly and efficiently to those in need in Ukraine to address any further aggression by Russia. The main efforts of cooperation are to provide humanitarian assistance/relief in the areas of assistance to displaced persons, medical care, emergency shelter and food security.
