A considerable number of Ukrainians have been forced to stay away from home for more than 7 months, in regions of the state that are more remote from the front lines. These people have left not only their belongings, but also their jobs, friends, memories, and entire lives tens and hundreds of kilometers away. Today they need to think not only about their own safety, but also about how to arrange their lives and provide themselves with basic things. In this article, you will learn what internally displaced people need and why it is important to help them.

We must show unity

Since February 24, there has been a danger of rocket attacks in every Ukrainian town and village, and the danger persists to this day. There is probably not a person left who has not been touched by this war: someone lost his job, gave up his dreams or, in the worst case, was left without a loved one. Understanding all the difficulties of today, we must show sympathy to each other and help in all possible ways.

The most vulnerable categories of IDPs today are:

• The elderly;
• pregnant women;
• large families;
• people with disabilities.

Finding yourself in an unfamiliar place without understanding what to do next is scary. That's why if there are displaced people in your entryway or you know where to find them, offer your help. This can be warm blankets and pillows, dishes, bedding that can be shared or food, medicine. Advice and warm conversation are also very important. Advise the retirees from Rubizhne how to process payments for IDPs or where they can apply for volunteer help. Any contribution is important.

Help for displaced people in the online format

Charitable organization “Pryame Vklyuchennya” emphasizes assistance to IDPs as one of its areas of work. We actively cooperate with boarding schools and orphanages, as well as with institutions that have become temporary shelters for IDPs. Detailed reports are available in the corresponding section on our website.

You can join the volunteer initiative by sending a donation to one of the accounts at the link.

Remember that after every night comes a new dawn. While the Ukrainian sun is rising, we must think about those who need more help and give them our attention in every possible way.
