In this powerful conversation with Francine Goundry from Nova Ukraine, we uncover the stark reality facing Ukrainians today.

Founded in 2014, Nova Ukraine has emerged as an efficient humanitarian organization responding to the crisis, with comprehensive yet targeted supplies, establishing warming stations near railway hubs, providing portable medical equipment to field hospitals, and creating bomb shelters where government infrastructure has failed.

The conversation takes us beyond statistics to the human stories that often go untold. We hear about recent visitors to once-vibrant Ukrainian cities now standing in empty streets weeping at the total devastation. 

For listeners wondering how to help, Francine offers numerous pathways to meaningful action – from virtual English teaching and mentorship programs to church partnerships and corporate matching gifts. She emphasizes the importance of researching charities through resources like Charity Navigator and Candid to ensure transparency and effectiveness.

As winter approaches, bringing new hardships to a war-torn population, this episode serves as both a wake-up call and a roadmap for compassionate action. The war in Ukraine may have faded from daily headlines, but through organizations like Nova Ukraine, we can ensure the Ukrainian people aren't forgotten and that vital support continues to reach those who need it most.
