Everyone can actively participate in the Ukrainian emergency; you just need to contact the Salvation Army. Today, it is possible to provide concrete assistance, alleviating the suffering of the population affected by the Russian invasion. Since the Russian attack on Ukraine, many organizations have mobilized to help rescue the injured or refugees or have organized humanitarian aid by collecting funds and donations. Hour by hour, minute by minute, more and more people are fleeing the terrifying reality of violence. Countless people have been displaced within the country. And unless the conflict ends instantly, millions more will likely be forced to flee Ukraine. The situation in the country has worsened, and the violence of recent years has escalated into an emergency. Mines, bombs, the wounded, and thousands of men recalled to arms. Women, the elderly, and children leaving their homes, even them by the thousands. We have not turned back time; this is not Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. It is 2022, yet conflict is back, close to home. Currently, more than 7.5 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
The Salvation Army is organizing a fundraiser for people who have found themselves in the middle of war. Since February 24, what we thought impossible is happening on Ukrainian territory. Now, we follow the war behind screens, and as images of bombings and shattered buildings pass before our eyes, the question arises: what can we do? Little, unfortunately. But something can be done!
The Salvation Army is launching an emergency fundraiser to support the efforts of its teams assisting Ukrainian civilians, on-site and in neighboring countries. Donating money rather than goods is the best way to help at the moment. Anyone wishing to support and help the population fleeing the war can now do so with a [donation for Ukraine](https://www.armeedusalut.fr/actualites/info/don-ukraine-faire-un-don-durgence-pour-aider-les-civils). The funds raised will be used according to the requests and needs of the Ukrainian population.
