S.O.S. Ukraine is an all-volunteer-run, registered Canadian charity initially founded in 1993.
We provide needy families with the essentials of life – food, clothing, hygiene items, shelter, and medicines. Priorities are single mothers with small children, the elderly, and disabled.
We also supply life-saving first aid and medicine to the injured and to front line medics. We’ve helped eight brigades throughout eastern Ukraine with first aid.
Our overseas volunteers are vetted, committed individuals who ensure that your donations reach those in greatest need.
We rely on donations from caring, like-minded individuals who care for their fellow man in their darkest hours.

Thanks from our recipients!
“V and N R are sincerely grateful to S.O.S. Ukraine for the financial assistance provided. This was very important for us when we lost all our property in Mariupol due to Russian full-scale invasion.” – V. R.
“Accept a thank you from me and my family too! On February 24, I and a 7-month-old son, a cat and a husband left Mariupol. Our Left Bank district was immediately heavily shelling. Your financial help has enabled us to purchase essential items such as baby mattress, bedding, towels and more. Which are inconspicuous in ordinary life and turned out to be so necessary in rented housing. Also baby on artificial feeding, and they are very expensive.” – E.D.
“My family of five sincerely thank you for the aid that helped us to survive the first months after leaving Mariupol. We left with one travel bag on everyone. So your help was greatly appreciated and allowed us to buy hygiene items, food, and do medical checkups for the children.” – O.Z.
“When we heard the first explosions, my daughter was hysterical. I couldn’t calm her. We left with my disabled mother. I can’t work with a baby. I couldn’t believe people so far away & don’t know us could help. It’s important to know someone cares & strangers are ready to provide support. THANK YOU.” – N.S.
“Me and my two-year-old daughter say a very big thank you. When we were in a difficult situation, you helped. Our grandmother’s house, where we lived, where almost all our belongings were, is no longer there. The help you did for us, I won’t stop thanking you.” - Y. Z.
“Thank you for supporting in such a difficult time. I have two beautiful girls 9 months and 4 years. Our housing in Mariupol was destroyed. You help was very needed for renting housing, buying food, clothing, medicine. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.” - M.S.
“There are 10 of us. Thanks to S.O.S. Ukraine we were able to purchase dishes, and goods, missing pillows, bed linens, diapers, children’s hygiene, shoes for my daughter and much more.”
