There are several thousand helpless children and weak eldery people among them. These people are facing the coming winter filled with fear, and are hoping to receive some help from you. We would be grateful for your donations and we promise to inform you regulary about the situation in the region and about the activity of our Foundation through our web site, which is already under construction. The Ukrainian government issued an appeal for international aid for the flood victims of Western Ukraine. It is scheduled to arrive on the 25th of November.
Additional help is requested . . . . .
Over 24,000 people from over 100 villages were displaced. All except 8,000 have returned to their homes, but most of their homes are not in a good situation. Fourteen people have been killed by the flooding, many people are missing, and over 1,000 are injured. Many people and organizations want to donate money to assist with the victim relief operations. For example, the City of Burlington, Vermont in the U.S., which has a Community Partnerships Project partnership with the City of Mukachevo in the Zakarpatia Oblast through the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, has collected funds to donate.
