With your support, GreaterGood and The Animal Rescue Site have been sending essential supplies and pet food to Ukraine since the war began in 2022.
And we continue to stand with Ukraine.

With the uncertainty of whether the U.S. government will provide any more aid to the Ukrainian people and increased attacks from Russia, Ukraine needs our help now more than ever.

People from around the world are inspired by the strength, determination, and courage of Ukrainians and are moved to join the fight.

Oro Whitley, an American photographer and “rebel volunteer”, headed to Ukraine shortly after the invasion to help deliver aid to those in need. He continues to risk his life along with a group of other brave volunteers to help those on the front lines.

He shared, “For three years, we have been delivering humanitarian aid to the soldiers and civilians holding the line in Ukraine’s most dangerous war zones. Every mission is a race against time—dodging shelling, navigating mined roads, and braving relentless airstrikes to bring food, medical supplies, and lifesaving equipment to those who need it most.”

He brought his camera along and is giving just a glimpse into the devastation and loss in Ukraine. He shared his photos so the world will see the “unbreakable courage” of the people amid “unimaginable hardship” and stand with Ukraine.

Your donations are making a huge difference in the lives of people and pets who have been living in a war zone for over three years.

Essential supplies and pet food have been delivered to the hardest hit areas and continue to be distributed, including to brave individuals who stayed behind to care for stray and abandoned animals.

Countless lives have been lost and homes destroyed, but Ukrainians continue to fight for freedom.

Places that used to be filled with laughter and joy are now just destroyed buildings and playgrounds littered with holes left by bombs.

Join us in standing with Ukraine and sending warm blankets, medical supplies, and pet food to those in need.

Together, we CAN make a difference.
