“Almost Family” (2022–2023)

Starting a new life in forced displacement, in an unfamiliar place, is difficult even for a healthy person. For someone who is ill, elderly, with mobility impairments, or alone — it is impossible without support! We provide this support every day, the way family would: we cover the costs of migration services, arrange and accompany people to the necessary institutions, assist, support, and stay by their side throughout the process.

Our role: care and advocacy for evacuated residents from frontline areas of Ukraine who have special needs. This includes restoring passports, tax ID numbers, and residency registration; obtaining IDP certificates and state payments; and reinstating pension and social benefits. We also provide clothing, hygiene products (especially adult diapers, bed pads, and wet wipes), food, and more.

Result: all those under our care received the social protection and support they needed.
