Help Ukrainian families start a new life in Ottawa
Right now, the largest refugee crisis since World War 2 is happening in Europe. Over 2 million refugees are fleeing their homes due to a brutal, unprovoked attack on democracy.
They’ve left loved ones behind, travelled long distances, and don't know what to do or where they should go next.
We’re helping them now: A small group of Canadians are helping Ukrainians navigate their way out of an active war zone to make their way to Ottawa, Canada within the coming weeks.
We need your help.
