Currently, our home village is under heavy shelling every day." — Tetiana, 36, Ukraine [3X YOUR IMPACT »]( {NAME}, When war broke out in Ukraine, Tetiana was reluctant to uproot her family or flee the country she loves. But as the fighting escalated, they could no longer stay put. One night, as she and her two daughters hid in a basement to avoid shelling, Tetiana made the decision to leave their home behind. Right now, conflict is escalating in Ukraine and other crisis zones. [We've set a goal to raise $50,000 before midnight tomorrow to support children and families forced to flee their homes.

[3X YOUR IMPACT »]( The morning after she decided to flee, Tetiana loaded Katya, 13, and Arisha, 4, into their car, bringing only their identification documents and basic necessities. They drove west to Odesa, where they now live in a shelter supported by the IRC. At the shelter, Tetiana and her daughters have found comfort and purpose being surrounded by other children and families who have been displaced by the war. The IRC has been working directly with displaced families in Ukraine like Tetiana’s since the war escalated in February 2022. Our 230 national staff members are working across four offices in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Odesa to provide humanitarian assistance to people living in the east and south of the country, which have experienced the heaviest fighting. In the hardest hit areas of Ukraine, accessing cash or purchasing goods has become a challenge. The IRC is providing tangible goods, such as hygiene kits, feminine products, clothing and toys and games for children. We are also providing beds, mattresses and sleeping bags to shelters like the one where Tetiana and her daughters are staying. Right now, you have the opportunity to make a life-changing difference for children and families forced to flee their homes.
