For nearly four years, Greg Terry and I have worked together to help Ukrainians affected by Russia’s full-scale invasion. What began with a simple effort to get medical supplies into Ukraine grew into support for humanitarian needs, armored ambulances and vehicles, reconnaissance drones, and Ukrainian defenders.
Now we are launching something new: Ukraine Support Bridge.
The idea is simple. Ukraine Support Bridge does not collect your donations. It provides one trusted place where you can see verified needs, follow the progress, and give directly to the organizations and people responsible for each project. The money does not pass through Greg or me. Each donation link takes you directly to the appropriate destination.
Our first three projects represent three different groups profoundly affected by this war.
The first is Sava, a deaf Ukrainian boy whose mother serves in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Sava needs cochlear implant surgery that could allow him to hear. The goal is $31,000, with donations going directly through our Ukrainian and American charitable partners.
The second is M, a Ukrainian teenager who fled Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. She earned a full-tuition refugee scholarship to attend college in the United States, but that scholarship does not cover room and board. Her remaining need is approximately $12,000 for this year. Because her U.S. immigration paperwork remains in process, we are protecting her identity publicly. I know M and her adopted family personally, and I am personally vouching for this fundraiser.
The third is Project Constantine, which is helping equip Ukrainian frontline brigades with vehicles, communications equipment, power systems, optics, night vision, and other critical equipment. Donations through Ukraine Support Bridge go directly to Project Constantine.
These needs can look enormous when we see the total. But they become much more achievable when thousands of us participate. As Greg points out in this video, even a $219,000 combined need represents 8,760 people giving $25.
You do not have to support every project. Look at the stories. Look at the needs. Decide which one speaks to you.
Help a Ukrainian child hear.
Help a young Ukrainian refugee continue her education.
Help Ukrainian soldiers defending their country.
That is what Ukraine Support Bridge is designed to do: see the need, track the progress, and connect your generosity directly with verified support for Ukraine.
