Direct Aid to People in Ukraine: Saving Lives Every Day

NOVEMBER 11TH 2026

‍

For the past 4 ½ years we have been providing direct support to tens of thousands of people across Ukraine, including food, shelter, medical care, clothing, and much more. We were glad to help Mr. Mykhailo, a member of the Kyiv Jewish community, pay for a needed medical examination. The timely diagnosis and immediate treatment has helped preserve his quality of life and enabled him to keep moving forward, to overcome the daily challenges of the ongoing crisis.

Ms. Lilliya needed a different kind of help from JRNU: parts of a missile landed in the yard of her home in Odessa. The blast and shrapnel damaged the windows of her home, creating an urgent problem as the cold winter weather arrived. We repaired and replaced the costly glazed windows, restoring the safety and comfort of her home and providing protection against the next attack on the city.

In Sumy and other cities, many elderly people live alone and struggle to grocery shop and cook. Some cannot afford to make purchases while others have limited mobility. Those who are able to leave their homes enjoy gathering at the synagogue or community center to share a hot and nutritious meal of hearty soup, a main course, and fresh pastries. But for those who are not able, due to health issues or bad weather, we bring the fresh meals directly to their homes, reminding the seniors that they are not alone and not forgotten.

Together we save lives and restore hope.

Together we Save Lives and Restore Hope!
