Donations are needed
We are a grassroots initiative led by volunteers, complemented by a few part-time employees, operating on limited funds. To meet the housing needs of Ukrainians coming to the Waterloo Region, we aim to raise $8,000 monthly, ensuring no family is turned away
Families often arrive with minimal belongings.
Thanks to the heartwarming generosity of community groups and service clubs, we've been able to provide essentials like welcome baskets, hygiene kits, education kits, household kits, and winter clothing to countless individuals. Furthermore, in the spirit of community, many gracious hosts in Waterloo and Kitchener have opened their homes, offering a beacon of hope to Ukrainians, allowing them the chance to restart their lives.
However, the need is vast and growing. A wave of Ukrainians, holding Canadian visas and bearing the weight of disrupted lives, are expected to arrive in Canada — potentially reaching a million. Many are still desperately searching for a place to call home. We implore you, let your heart and home be their sanctuary. Open your doors to these newcomers; your kindness could be the star that guides them in their darkest hour, the foundation upon which they rebuild. Your generosity could be the beginning of their new journey in Canada.
