Nova Ukraine Lights Up Times Square, Inspires Hope, and Calls for Support

Nova Ukraine Lights Up Times Square, Inspires Hope, and Calls for Support

In a bright display of commitment and unity, Nova Ukraine illuminated Times Square with a powerful message this holiday season 2023. We showcased our work in providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and raising awareness globally through stunning visuals in this iconic New York City location. The billboard was active in the beginning of December.

Support Ukraine: A Call to Action

“Support Ukraine” echoes as the main message from Nova Ukraine, emphasizing the collective strength that comes when people unite for a common cause. Since the onset of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Nova Ukraine has reached over 4.5 million people in Ukraine, offering assistance and making a tangible difference through numerous projects and initiatives. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we have contributed over $100 million worth of aid to Ukraine since 2014. 

As the winter cold intensifies, so do the challenges faced by the people of Ukraine. Nova Ukraine asks you to lend your voices and take action to drive change. Here’s how you can contribute:

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.
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.

20,000 teddy bears blanketed the California Capitol Monday. Why they were there

The installation, called “Bring Kids Back,” made its Sacramento debut as part of an ongoing campaign to draw attention to the thousands of children and support international efforts for their return. It was displayed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and in Los Angeles earlier this year. “I think everybody can agree that stealing children is an atrocity and should not be happening in this day and age,” said Aleksandr Krapivkin, director of advocacy and engagement at Nova Ukraine and one of the event moderators. “If we don’t want this to ever happen again — not only in Ukraine, but … to any nation, then we have to take action now.” The focal point of the installation were the teddy bears, which hung from fence panels and formed the message “Putin abducted 20,000 Ukrainian children. Bring Kids Back.”
