The situation in cities and villages across the country is dire. Many folks who previously supported their communities are now seeking help themselves, as they have lost their source of income and have depleted their savings.
Prices for all types of products in Ukraine have increased exponentially. People have no more savings and are unable to find work. Many people will be unable to pay for heating and other utilities in the harsh winter months, right around the corner.
Many homes are damaged and need repairs to doors, windows, and communication systems.
The staff and volunteers of JRNU have distributed nearly 600 tons of food across Ukraine, providing packages to 25,000 people.
In Chernihiv, one of the cities that was severely bombed early in the war, repairs are being made to homes: hot water heaters are being installed and window repairs are being scheduled.
170 people from Donetsk and Luhansk, current hotspots in the war, are getting much needed aid, as are 100 people in Mariupol and 300 people in Kherson (both occupied cities).
Medication distribution is underway in the cities of Sumy, Kryvyi Rih, Uman, Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, and Pervomaisk.
We are making a difference each and every day, doing what we can to ensure no one is left behind. Please help!
