HELP DELIVER RELIEF AID TO UKRAINE

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Foundation for Equity and Justice has focused attention on procuring and delivering humanitarian aid from Poland into Ukraine in support of the growing needs among those injured, displaced, and trying to flee the country, as well as hospitals. The global relief NGOs aren't fully set up yet or in a position to deliver aid into Ukraine, so we are filling this gap. Our team members are now in Poland, coordinating with partners to transfer aid across the border. So far, in collaboration with the US-Ukrainian company, Energy Resources of Ukraine, we have delivered more than $2 million of medicines, diapers, baby food, tents, etc.
​
As we continue to work to purchase and deliver relief aid to Ukraine, time is of the essence. We are seeking financial support from corporations, foundations, and individual donors. All donations to our foundation, which is a private, registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 85-4105257), are fully tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
OUR STORY
Eight years ago, Dale Perry, from Bainbridge Island, WA, and his Ukranian partner started Energy Resources of Ukraine. While it is an American company, all employees, except for Dale, are Ukrainian.
​
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on Feb. 27, Dale flew to the Kroscienko border checkpoint in Poland to meet the handful of his employees who were able to leave the country. These employees shared how harrowing the border crossing experience was, detailing the thousands of women and children waiting for days on end in freezing temperatures with no food, shelters, diapers, etc. On the Polish side of the border, people were opening their homes, giving rides and aid to the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees. But those on the Ukrainian side were left to fend for themselves.
​
Dale, his partner, and the five employees who’d made it to Poland began to buy supplies, which included sleeping bags, air mattresses, food, diapers, and medical kits. They found a company that had the products, people that had the vehicles, took the goods to the border, and transferred them to his partner who was still in Ukraine. His partner then worked with people inside of Ukraine to get the goods distributed to those waiting to cross the border. Since then, they have broadened their reach to deliver aid across Ukraine.
​
They jumped into action, doing what global aid nongovernmental organizations weren’t able to do so quickly.
​
So far, Dale and his partner have spent more than $2 million of their own money on the effort. We are kindly asking for donations to help fill the additional needs. Our work has no administrative costs, so donations go directly toward immediate relief to people in Ukraine.
