The Passing of Our Colleague, Monica Noe Filyaw
We offer our deepest condolences to the family of Monica Noe Filyaw. Monica was a beloved colleague who was deeply committed to supporting Ukraine and was part of our own family.
Her love for freedom, liberty, and independence was unwavering through her dedication to help Ukrainians preserve their democracy.
Monica made an exceptional contribution to the recent trip to the U.S. of the mayor of Bucha. Her impeccable organizational skills and innovative ideas helped to ensure the logistics of the trip ran smoothly, making it a great success. Her dedication to the cause and tireless efforts were a testament to her remarkable character.
We will greatly miss Monica’s contagious work ethic to accomplish every goal with optimism and success. Our thoughts are with her family during this trying time.
Testament of a Donor
Glowing Face of Refugee Warms Ukraine Focus Donors
Donors seldom get to see their gifts put to work, but that was exactly the experience my wife and I enjoyed after providing funds to ship ambulances, children’s clothing, food, and solar-powered lamps to Ukrainian refugees. The continuing Russian invasion of the eastern European nation has sent thousands of civilians fleeing their homes, slaughtered regiments of soldiers defending the country, and destroyed the electrical infrastructure plunging the nation into darkness.
Our Mission
To provide humanitarian and medical aid to Ukraine using a needs-based, fully transparent approach ensuring the help gets directly to those that need it most.
Our Focus is on the Freedom and the Future of Ukraine.
