Whether they are rushing toward or away from the front lines of combat, Ukrainians are in need. We focus on supporting needs that governments and larger aid organizations miss due to lack of infrastructure and overwhelming demand.

Defenders

Although thousands of brave men and women have stood up to protect Ukraine, many receive little more than a rifle and some ammo — no medical kits, no body armor, no helmets, and no other tactical gear. Efforts to better equip soldiers have been slow and uneven. Centralized medical aid warehouses in Ukrainian cities are overwhelmed as they focus on major front-line deliveries, and they struggle to supply small groups of defenders quickly.

You can donate to four different campaigns to help defenders. Each campaign supports the purchase of a special type of equipment.

Sunflower Seeds Ukraine has helped many defenders in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Territorial Defense Forces, and other units. Some of them are represented here.

Civilians

Displaced civilians and refugees face considerable challenges as well. While international organizations work to provide large-scale humanitarian aid, logistical bottlenecks still slow the delivery of key non-medical supplies, such as diapers and formula for children, sleeping bags and thermal mats for bomb shelters, and basic food and medications for the elderly. Civilians' ability to maintain basic health and safety while moving may depend on their access to such items.

You can donate to three different campaigns to help civilians. Each campaign supports the purchase of supplies for a specific group.

If you are in the war zone and need help getting a medical kit, get in touch. We are a small grassroots organization with limited resources, and we will do our best to help you, or direct your request to other bigger organizations that can help.
