This week we speak with Yuryi Boyechko, Executive Director of Hope for Ukraine. Our conversation was both eye-opening and deeply moving.

 

The war in Ukraine is now entering its third year, and the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. Yuryi shared with me first-hand accounts of recent attacks on civilian areas and the growing number of families falling into poverty. It's a stark reminder that while this conflict may no longer dominate our headlines, the suffering continues.

 

In our discussion, Yuryi detailed how Hope for Ukraine is providing crucial aid:

• Distributing 1,500 food kits weekly to families in need

• Operating mobile bakeries and kitchens near the front lines

• Running education and mental health programs for children affected by war

• Managing a displacement center for families fleeing conflict zones

 

What struck me most was the incredible resilience of Ukrainian volunteers who risk their lives daily to help others. Their dedication is truly inspiring.

 

I believe this episode offers valuable insights into the ongoing crisis and how we can make a difference. I encourage you to listen and consider supporting Hope for Ukraine's vital work.
