Together we impact and make a difference
Our top priority is to provide physical and psychological assistance to those Ukrainians who, as a result of the Russian invasion, were forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in Michigan. Together with you, we can create a safe and flourishing community for New Americans and Michiganders alike.

Give Hope to Ukrainians in Michigan
Right now, thousands of Ukrainians in Michigan are facing renewed uncertainty. Recent changes affect legal status and work authorization for families who have already survived war, displacement, and loss.
For many, the risk is immediate: losing the ability to work can mean losing housing, healthcare, and stability for their children—almost overnight. But the impact goes deeper leading to increased anxiety, sleeplessness, and fear. Children are carrying stress they don’t yet have words for. Mental health support is no longer optional — it is essential to survival and stability.
Your donation right now makes a direct, life-stabilizing impact:
-
Legal & Immigration Support – Help families protect their status and work authorization
-
Emergency Assistance – Cover urgent needs like housing, food, transportation, and healthcare

Employment & Integration – Support job readiness, English learning, and self-sufficiency
-
Mental Health & Wellness Programs – Provide culturally responsive support groups, referrals, trauma-informed workshops, and safe spaces for healing
