About Us

Who We Are​

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every action can make a difference, whether you are affecting one person or a thousand.

Our founding team of American volunteers began their journey assisting Ukrainian refugees with local and international partners. Today, they continue to support displaced people, refugees, domestic violence survivors, animals, and others at home and abroad through strategic and impactful partnerships.

We collaborate with other nonprofits and NGOs to run shelters, assist in evacuations, rebuild homes and infrastructure, rescue animals, and offer guidance.

Our approach

Our Mission​
Our mission is to ensure that at-risk populations receive the safety and assistance they need to recover.

We support partner organizations providing short and long-term refuge, including food, shelter, and essential daily living needs to those displaced by domestic violence, natural disasters, extreme poverty, climate change, and war.

Our Vision​
We know that helping one person means helping the world.

We are all in this together. When you help someone recover from disaster or poverty, you are helping the overall community. And they will have the chance to extend a helping hand to someone else.
