UKRAINE TODAY IS TORN BY A GREAT WAR
A terrible evil came from where it was not expected. From brotherly Russia. Putin, a dictator and a maniac, had suppressed and taken away civil rights away from the Russians, coveted the free Ukraine. Free, and therefore so much hated by him.
Today, the life and freedom of the young and independent Ukraine, its soldiers, mothers and children, is hanging in the balance. They are fighting for their survival.

Help us pay to transport aid to Ukraine!
Dear friends! We thank you for helping Ukraine and its people, but now need to ask for your assistance to pay to transport humanitarian aid by air. Aid sent by airplanes will get to recipients in a matter of days. We have medical supplies, clothes, children's toys, diapers and lots of urgent care items ready to be shipped.
Our staff is not paid — we all donate our time and resources to this project. 100% of all donations to AtlantaForUkraine.com go to fund our project goals. We will publish a complete financial report on this site at the end of each month. AtlantaForUkraine.com is a Georgia registered non-profit corporation.
We want to thank the following donors, who helped fund our effort to ship goods to Ukraine: Joy and John Garrett, Peter J Carrato, Anna Zagoruiko, Viktoriia Radionov, Veronika Volkova, Iryna Dudko, Irina Semenenko, Bella Litnevskaya, Svitlana Klıne, Svetlana Constant, Mariana Khmil, Maksym Hnativ, Kateryna Pasaylyuk, Quan minh Nguyen, Yaroslav Molkov, Tina Maddox, Maryia Bondar, Asya Datsenko, Omar Franco, Marina Dashevskaya, Stella Dashevsky, Candice Quirk, Bette Gilbert, Katherine West, James R Hamilton, Maryana Hlyva, Kaylee Murtagh, Svetlana Constant, Kristina Murphy
FIRST BATCH OF HUMANITARIAN AID IS ON ITS WAY TO UKRAINE! NEW SHIPMENT IS GETTING READY FOR AIR TRANSPORT.
Our volunteer-operated sites collected approximately 15 tons of humanitarian aid. Most of it was already shipped out or is on its way to Ukraine. Take a look at how we loaded and sent our first shipment of aid to Ukraine via Savannah, GA.

Further aid shipments we be sent by air to save valuable time and to reach the needed faster. We are currently looking for airline partners to help us get much needed aid to Warsaw or Krakow, Poland. In the meantime, if you can pitch in to help pay for air transport, we'd be very grateful!

Nataliya is our amazing volunteer wizard, solving the most complicated logistical issues and last minute situations. She is also heading Ukraine relief effort at her work at VMware where she launched a program to send medical supplies to Ukraine.
Aid Collection. Media support.
Arthur is the publisher of the «Freedom of Speech» — Georgia's largest Russian-language monthly magazine. The Freedom of Speech (formerly the Russia House) exists since 1992 and is never afraid to cover controversial issues and hot political topics. Arthur has volunteered his office and personal space for our humanitarian aid collection effort and also provides media and printing support though his publishing house.
Donor coordination. Communications & control of aid distribution in Ukraine.
Julia is relentless in her efforts to constantly do something for Ukraine. She is from Russia and that makes her work so much more meaningful and appreciated! Her house is one of the key aid collection sites, where she is helped by her husband and two kids. She is also well-known in Atlanta for organizing various human rights, political and anti-war actions.
