On the Frontlines With General Kellogg

Over the last two weeks, our ground team, along with Foundation President and Vice President Meaghan Mobbs and Robert McCreary, hosted Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg across Ukraine. Because of our notable presence in hard-to-reach areas, Lt. General Kellogg was able to travel with us from Odessa to Kharkiv and as far east as Izyum. Along the way, we met with government and military officials, visited frontlines hospitals and shelters, and provided a general situational awareness of human rights abuses and overall impact of the war on everyday Ukrainians.

Weatherman Foundation Hosts Lt. General Keith Kellogg in Ukraine

Over the last two weeks, our ground team, along with Foundation President and Vice President Meaghan Mobbs and Robert McCreary, hosted Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg across Ukraine. Because of our notable presence in hard-to-reach areas, Lt. General Kellogg was able to travel with us from Odessa to Kharkiv and as far east as Izyum. Along the way, we met with government and military officials, visited frontlines hospitals and shelters, and provided a general situational awareness of human rights abuses and overall impact of the war on everyday Ukrainians.

General Kellogg was also able to witness our teams in action and the incredible resilience of the Ukrainian people throughout this war. We’re proud to stand alongside our local partners and provide support to them because, in the words of Lt. General Kellogg:

“Helping Ukraine win is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reset the world stage.”

We couldn’t agree more. Watch footage from Lt. General Kellogg’s recent report of what he saw on the ground on “Your World: Cavuto” by clicking the button below.

Caring for Families in Dnipro

With your support, we were able to quickly supply this shelter in Dnipro, where 74 people, 27 of which are children, live — many due to losing their homes in the recent attacks. Basics, such as milk, canned foods, hygiene products, baby supplies and toys are keeping their spirits up!

Insulin for Life Sends Hundreds of Doses to Mykolaiv

Utilizing our cold chain abilities, Americares has sent another shipment of insulin through the Tulcea Humanitarian Logistics Hub. This particular shipment will go out to hospitals in dire need near Mykolaiv - one of Ukraine’s active frontlines.

The Snow Has Arrived!

Snow has begun to pile up around the Tulcea Humanitarian Logistics Hub in the last couple weeks. We’re grateful for Viorel (right) and the rest of our Hub team who remain committed to clearing the way for trucks to come in and out safely.

More to share

Because of you, these smiling faces are receiving hope in the midst of a hard winter and even harder war. Over the past month, your support — and the support of donations from the EU’s French and Spanish Civil Protection — allowed us to work together with local partners throughout Ukraine, like "Resolute Hearts," to bring food, shelf-safe milk, medicine, winter clothes, more to hospitals, shelters, elderly care homes, and orphanages throughout Ukraine.

The Hub team builds specific packages and palettes to meet needs requests. These go to shelters and hospitals throughout Ukraine to be distributed locally.

33 days,11 lives: vital count of our WIA program’s fight for survival across borders. This war has brought injuries of unprecedented complexity into our lives: the widespread use of drones and explosive munitions frequently causes combined trauma — multiple limb injuries, burns, organ damage, and severe infections. Treating them demands immediate, unconventional decisions, highly specialized professionals, and cutting-edge technology. Every hour lost can cost a person their life — or their chance at recovery. Recognizing the gap between what is needed and what actually exists is the first step toward closing it. Between the battlefield and survival stands logistics. Our goal is always the same: to get the wounded on time to where modern medicine can give them the best possible chance. More than 11 is not just a number. It is more than 11 times we picked up the phone, reached out to a hospital, pushed through bureaucratic walls, explained to a confused family what was happening, built logistics from scratch, and finally got a wounded person to  better care . Peace is built by people — those who survived and were given a chance at a future. Because between the words “wounded” and “healed” lies an enormous body of work —phone calls in the middle of the night, documents needed signing yesterday. Families who don’t know what to hold onto. Through every shadow and every midnight call, we remain by their side. Heartfelt thanks to @netherlandsforukraine_ — your support means everything to our resilience. Also we express our deepest gratitude to the team @artesans.resq.ua for your outstanding dedication and providing critical medical transportation for our wounded defenders. 🙏

Шануємо героїв як живий біль і водночас життєдайну силу нашої нації. Пам’ять про американських добровольців, які, перетнули атлантику й віддали найдорожче за нашу свободу, має бути частиною нашого щоденного ритму, дихання, та дій. Ці цінності стали фундаментом заходу «Memorial Day. Вшанування памʼяті американців, що воювали за Україну», який відбувався за ініціативи Оксани Сивак та художника Олександра Клименка, співтворця циклу @ammo.boxes.icons. Через спільні практики — як-от американську традицію «Столу памʼяті» від @hrabarfoundation та @memorial.of.heroes. Чи проєкт @sadybaveteraniv від Оксани Сивак — ми трансформуємо скорботу в дію, створюючи простір, де вдячність стає живою підтримкою та вічною пам’яттю. Саме тому @rtw_foundation зосереджується на найважливішому — відновленням того, що руйнує війна: тіла, розуму та пам’яті. Щира подяка БО БФ «Вільні та спроможні» за ініціативу, співорганізацію та втілення цього меморіального заходу. І дякуємо організації @cfcbigideas, яка скоординувала роботу організаторів, партнерів та медіа, об’єднавши всіх навколо проведення цього меморіального дня. Разом усі ми тримаємо глибоку, усвідомлену вдячність. Схиляємо голови перед тими, чиї серця перестали битись аби наші билися далі. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Більше фото у шапці профілю @rasputinviktor
