Call to Action: Emergency Response after Largest Attack on Energy Infrastructure

Emergencyresponse websiteheader generators min

In a devastating turn of events, the peace of the night was shattered as the skies over Kharkiv were lit with the dire consequences of conflict. A massive onslaught involving 150 drones and missiles targeted innocent civilians, leaving critical infrastructure in ruins. Among the hardest hit were the power facilities and the Kharkiv Dam, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.

As dawn broke, the extent of the damage became heartbreakingly clear. Over one million people across Ukraine now find themselves engulfed in darkness, with the vibrant city of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, and over 53,000 households in Odesa cut off from the world, without power. This attack on our energy grid marks the most significant escalation since 2022, plunging families, children, and the elderly into a cold and uncertain reality.

In response to this urgent crisis, the Be an Angel network has swiftly mobilized an emergency task force dedicated to bringing light and hope back to those affected. Our mission is to distribute generators across the impacted cities, prioritizing essential facilities such as orphanages, hospitals, and medical centers that serve as lifelines for our communities.

Your support has always been the backbone of our efforts, and today, we reach out to you with a heartfelt plea for assistance. With your generous donations, we can kickstart the immediate distribution of generators, ensuring that those in dire need receive the support and care they deserve during these dark times.

Friends of be an Angel & Be an Angel has already over one year experience with providing generators during an energy crisis in Ukraine. Previously, we have distributed over 1,715 generators in 2022. For our efforts, we were awarded the Gold Award at the 3rd Annual Anthem awards. Our logistics and distribution network have been reactivated and are ready to launch in response to the attacks today.

Women’s Day: Save Our Widowed Mothers Care Package Program

Save our widowed mothers care package program

Cover saveourwidowedmotherscarepackageprogram min

For this upcoming Women’s Day, we are asking the community to help us save a care package program for widowed and single mothers in Ukraine. This warehouse is run and managed by a women’s organization known as “Women’s Movement for the Future”. They provide humanitarian aid and support for women across war-torn Ukraine.

Currently there are two women, Valentina and Ivanka, working in a warehouse preparing care packages for widows of soldiers, single mothers, the elderly and disabled. The full-scale invasion has severely deteriorated the economy of Ukraine. Social support structures for families and job opportunities have fallen apart. Widowed and single mothers suffer particularly from this hardship. Many schools have been closed or destroyed, and they are unable to leave their homes to provide for their children. Recently widowed mothers suddenly lose their source of income overnight, leaving them vulnerable while they grief for their loss. Unfortunately, in many instances, if the body of the husband is not found, they are classified as missing and the wife will not receive any death gratuity from the government, leaving the family to fend for themselves. For this reason, a care package program was started by this charity to provide thousands of families around the country with basic necessities. Currently there is a waitlist of over 12,500 mothers waiting for their care package.

Every month, they prepare anywhere between 3000 to 5000 care packages. Each package contains sanitary items, diapers, baby formula, food for a week or whatever else the family requests. We also regularly send medicine, children’s clothing and toys which are then also distributed to refugee camps in the local area.

 

Previously, the warehouse was financed by personal funds and hundreds of hours volunteered. However, now as we enter the second year of the full-scale invasion, we are struggling to support them any further. Furthermore, they are having difficulty finding volunteers. Many volunteers have either been drafted or have left to support their own families, making it difficult to find new volunteers to support our program. The times are getting very difficult, and covering the costs is becoming exceptionally difficult.

How the funds will be spent:

The funds will be spent on rent and utilities for the warehouse and the care package program, as well as salaries for three volunteers. Costs for the care package program include cardboard boxes, postage, tape and other packing material. The funds will be managed by my organization and distributed to the warehouse team on a monthly basis. We have calculated that they need about $4,000 a month to cover all of this, so if we reach the goal I can support them for the next 10 months.
