Helping Hands for Ukraine
Our mission is to deliver vital humanitarian aid and medical supplies to those impacted by the war in Ukraine, ensuring full transparency and accountability for every project and donation. We ship aid directly to frontline doctors, field surgeons, and army medics, bypassing large warehouses.
First Aid & Trauma Kits
For two years we have been helping female army medics in Eastern Ukraine. We purchase American-made tourniquets and other medical supplies they urgently request. We send only what is needed, making our help as targeted and precise as possible.
What Makes Us Different?
We work with individual doctors, not hospitals
We work with individual soldiers, not army units
We work with people we trust and insist on full transparency.
We are a small group of volunteers, working from our garage, making every dollar count.
We negotiate every purchase, buying supplies at wholesale prices.
Supporting New Moms & Babies
In August of 2022 we started helping the Maternity Ward #6 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Even before we became a non-profit, we have purchased a neo-natal machine, newborn beds, a large generator and countless surgical supplies. We continue shipping medical aid and prenatal vitamins donated by our amazing NJ community.
Medical Donations
We collect supplies from the local hospitals and ship them to field surgeons and other medics we deal with directly. As we sort the donations we work with individual doctors in Ukraine to ensure we ship only what is needed. (Unfortunately, that's almost everything)
We Cannot Just Watch
After two years of working as grassroots volunteers, we have decided to open a nonprofit in May 2024. Until the war is over, it is impossible to stand by. Even when the situation seems hopeless, there's always something we can do to help. Join us. There are always medical donations to pack, events to organize, tourniquets to be purchased.
Charity Concerts
To raise money for trauma kits and to pay for shipments to Ukraine, we organize charity concerts every month. Gathering for a good cause and listening to great music really brings the community together.
The United States has just halted all aid to Ukraine. Now, more than ever, Ukraine’s defenders and frontline medics are in desperate need of life-saving supplies. With war still raging, Ukrainian soldiers and civilians rely on tactical medical equipment to survive battlefield injuries.
Tactical medicine includes critical supplies such as tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, chest seals, and emergency trauma kits—tools that stop bleeding, stabilize wounds, and give the injured a fighting chance before they reach a hospital. Without these essential medical resources, preventable deaths will skyrocket.
We are launching an emergency fundraiser to send as many tactical medical kits as possible to frontline medics. Every dollar raised goes directly toward purchasing and delivering these life-saving supplies to those who need them most.
Ukraine is fighting for its survival. Let’s ensure they don’t fight without the medical aid that saves lives.

Helping Hands For Ukraine has been instrumental in addressing the urgent needs of those affected by the conflict. Our efforts have contributed to the broader humanitarian response that, in 2023, reached nearly 11 million people in Ukraine. The impact of our work is part of a collective effort that has seen the international donor community come together to support the Ukrainian people in their time of need.
18 million needed aid in winter of 2023
The aid we’ve facilitated through the donation of medical supplies are vital part of the support structure for healthcare providers. By ensuring that field surgeons and hospitals receive the necessary equipment, we’ve helped maintain essential medical services and care for those injured in the conflict. The significance of our contribution is reflected in the broader context where, during winter of 2023, more than 40% of the Ukrainian population—about 18 million people—needed some form of humanitarian assistance.
Our project is a testament to the power of collective action and the difference that each donation can make. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest times, there are helping hands reaching out to make a positive impact.
