Kick Ass Moms for Ukraine

Background

We are a group of Berlin-based moms who came together at the beginning of the Russian invasion. Early on we discovered a small charity directly at the Polish-Ukrainian border called Folkowisko. We started gathering small donations for the charity and this small act led to the creation of a support network that, in the few weeks since, has helped extract people from red zones, find housing for refugees and assist in sending supplies directly to the people who need them most in Ukraine.

With the financial support of friends from all over the world, we have already filled two trucks with essential supplies (food, medicine, blankets, sleeping bags, winter jackets, baby food, diapers and more). Just last week, these trucks arrived at the border, where people have been waiting several days to cross into safe zones. More medicine supplies were successfully delivered to seven hospitals inside Ukraine.


Next Goals:

Evacuation Efforts 

We are working with volunteers to aid in the evacuation of Ukranians affected by the Russian attack. All funds will go towards logistical needs, accommodations and financial relief for vulnerable refugees. Our team is also collaborating with other organizations with a similar focus on sharing resources and information. We assist anyone needing to evacuate Ukraine, giving priority to those located in the most at-risk war zones and members of marginalized groups.



Supporting initiatives in Poland 

We are helping small NGOs in Poland, alongside other private initiatives like the Shehyni First Aid Center (a makeshift hospital setup at the border). You can learn more about Shehyni on facebook: Centrum Pomocy Humanitarnej w Szegini
We are also working with the Be An Angel Initiative, which is now focused on finding accommodation throughout Europe for refugees located on the Moldavian border. 

Distribution of food and medicine in the Eastern part of Ukraine

We are looking to support the work of a group of Polish volunteers led by Mikolaj Krawiecki. This group is traveling back and forth to the eastern parts of Ukraine to deliver supplies to people in need, as well as medicine to hospitals.
On their return, their cars are filled with women, children and the elderly in an effort to bring them to safety in Western Ukraine and Poland. These are people who are hungry and ill from the lack of electricity and chilling temperatures. This is an ongoing effort for a team that is on the ground making a difference in some of the most dangerous areas in Ukraine. You can learn more about Mikolaj and his team on Instagram @krawieckim

Now we need your support…

We started as a small group of friends who have rallied women across continents to help with the refugee crisis at the border and inside Ukraine. This is an ongoing initiative with ever increasing urgency as the Russian aggression continues. The money we are raising now will have a direct and immediate impact on the lives affected by this crisis. Together we can create a change.


We are grateful for your support!
