We support seniors

We support 300+ Ukrainian Grandmas & Grandpas

Brighter Ukraine joined a volunteer program in Ukraine called "To People from People," organized by Artem Pryhodko in the Kharkiv region.

This charitable organization has been helping residents of Kharkiv and surrounding areas to overcome humanitarian difficulties for more than a year. In most cases, the volunteers work with people with disabilities and provide humanitarian assistance right during shelling or buying food products during the outage.

Volunteers of Brighter Ukraine Foundation Anna Lugo and Yevgeniya Pokhylko have been helping since the beginning of the war in 2022. They were collecting donations for "To People from People" for food and medical supplies during events in the LA area and online. To bring joy to Ukrainian Grandmas & Grandpas during these difficult times, Yevgeniya sent 100 comfortable slippers last month, which were already delivered.

Our goal is to do much more! Please join our movement and help people in Ukraine every month!

We deliver first aid

Arina’s packing journey 💙💛 Together, we assembled and dispatched a shipment of vital medical and protective supplies, including carefully packed tourniquets and emergency heat blankets, destined for the Ukrainian defenders 💪🏽
🤍 A heartfelt thank you to all the donors and volunteers whose support enabled us to raise funds for the acquisition of these items, benefiting those who traversed SoCal in the process.

Eagle Scouts Donation

We are so proud of this young and hardworking volunteer. Bradley is an Eagle Scout who reached out to Brighter Ukraine Foundation wanting to help our defenders on the frontlines. He has teamed with us to fundraise for 100 IFAKs that we will then deliver to the frontlines.
Here is Bradley’s story 👇

“I am starting my Eagle Scout project! This one will save lives!

I am a 16-year old Life Scout with Troop 509 NASA/JPL. My Eagle Scout project is to fundraise $20,000 to purchase and assemble 100 military-grade IFAKs (individual first-aid kits). They will be delivered to front-line Ukrainian soldiers via Poland through my connection with Brighter Ukraine Foundation (www.brighterukraine.org), a 501(3)(c) non-profit. Each kit costs about $200. Every dollar you donate will help save lives in Ukraine.

Once I receive the funds, I will purchase specific military-grade items then I will be asking everybody to come to my house to help assemble them. (I will let you know again when the time comes to volunteer, this is easy service hours and your hands won't get dirty). We will be packaging these first aid kits into duffel bags and my dad and I will be delivering these to our connection in Long Beach, Ms. Arina Gersimova. She will fly them to a small town in Poland where she will drive them to front-line Ukrainian soldiers. She will be taking pictures of our IFAKs in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers. I will share those photos with everyone. Thank you for your support!

Yours In Scouting,

Bradley Bell”
