Join Us in Rebuilding Lives

An older woman in Ukraine walking by a building that was demolished

Dear Friends,

We live in a day and age that is truly testing the limits of what those in need can handle both emotionally and physically. It is difficult to imagine any refugee who, after being forced to leave behind their past lives damaged by war and conflict, maintains fortitude to face destruction once more. Yet, this is precisely what every Ukrainian who has settled in the Los Angeles Metroplex area must now endure.

The devastating fires that have engulfed Los Angeles have forced Ukrainian refugees who now call Southern California home to deal with factors beyond their control as they once again are forced to rebuild.

For a moment, let’s remember what forced these individuals from Ukraine:

  • Daily missile attacks
  • Energy system destruction
  • Daily drone attacks
  • Indiscriminate killing of civilians
  • Food insecurity
  • Medical provision insecurity
  • Loss of sovereign Ukrainian land

And now, as a result of the catastrophic fires … these same people are once again facing:

  • The loss of stable and secure housing
  • Job instability and bridging financial needs
  • Food insecurities and lack of transportation
  • Uncertainty of medical and mental health support services
  • Vulnerability and anxiety about their survival

Thanks to supporters like you, Nova Ukraine has responded to countless challenges impacting the livelihood of Ukrainian refugees in the United States.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Nova Ukraine’s Emergency Housing Team has provided housing to over 5,500 refugees and their families, has given financial support, and supplied healthcare services.

Learn more about the team’s work.

We cannot do our work without the contributions of thousands of volunteers and partners who help by providing their time and talents to serve Ukrainians who are desperately in need.

This work only happens with your help, financial support, and partnership.

These are extraordinary times characterized by extraordinary conditions throughout the Los Angeles area, and the urgent needs of Ukrainians that have increased dramatically during this critical period. Our continued work in California with the refugees who are displaced once again, can only be accomplished through your help, financial support and partnership. Would you consider coming alongside us again to help build a secure, safe and stable life for them?

Training ENT Surgeons in Acoustic Trauma

Author Matt Salter Nova Ukraine is dedicating funds to a vital and often underserved medical necessity in conflict areas: acoustic trauma. In partnership with Pivnyk Charitable Foundation, this new program will train Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctors in Ukraine to treat hearing loss and ear injuries. Why Hearing Restoration Is Critical An estimated 60% of people injured in combat zones suffer acoustic trauma, hearing loss, or both. Ukrainian troops and civilians throughout the country suffer acoustic injuries. Without proper treatment, the pain and sensory loss of such injuries can last a lifetime.

On the ground with Nova Ukraine’s CEO: Stories of impact from Lviv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv

Author Diana Kirk The mom passing warm slices of bread to her kids. The warehouse worker placing that last box on the truck. The child in the after-school program who just discovered: she loves to draw. These are snapshots from a trip that stayed with Nova Ukraine’s CEO Ambassador, Erin E. McKee, long after she left Lviv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv in April 2026. Because behind each moment is the work of an extraordinary partner organization, helping to heal, build, and empower Ukraine. Together, we're ensuring that the Ukrainian people remain resilient today, and thrive tomorrow. In two dozen meetings with partners, local leaders, and people on the ground, here's what Erin saw.

Aprons shield vital organs and bone marrow from radiation exposure. Collars protect the thyroid gland, which is sensitive to excessive radiation. Both are vital in long-term X-ray use. In addition to providing improved safety through the procedure, protective gear allows for more detailed imaging, which makes for improved diagnosis, better treatment, and healthier patients. Tools like these go beyond the current crisis: they are reliable and reusable, suitable for the long-term use that forms the foundation of resilient healthcare systems. Nova Ukraine, through our HEAL pillar, is dedicated to providing Ukrainian doctors, medics, nurses, and other healthcare professionals with the tools they need to build strong and lasting healthcare infrastructure across the country.

Equipping Doctors for Safer Diagnosis

Author Matt Salter Nova Ukraine’s latest investment in strong, modern healthcare systems has arrived! Lviv First Medical Association has received a shipment of protective X-ray aprons and collars. These tools keep patients and caregivers safe during procedures requiring X-ray imaging, empowering healthcare workers to give patients top-quality diagnosis, treatment, and care. The new aprons and collars protect patients and healthcare workers from X-ray overexposure in video urodynamics, the process of identifying and treating potentially deadly issues of the urinary system and bladder. It calls for specialists to stay by a patient’s side from the beginning of the imaging process to the end of the procedure. Long-term, hands-on care like this produces the best outcomes, but without protective gear, it risks exposing patients and doctors to dangerous levels of radiation. With the new gear, doctors in Ukraine can deliver best-in-class diagnosis and treatment, improving current and future outcomes across the national healthcare system.
