Winter Relief for Ukraine

Every Family Deserves to Feel Warm This Winter

Across Ukraine, winter brings freezing nights that put families, children, and elders at risk. Warm Winters UA delivers coats, blankets, and heating essentials directly into the hands of those who need them most — because warmth is a right, not a luxury.

Volunteer-powered and fully transparent — every kit reaches a family in need.

Real Stories

Faces of Hope This Winter

Behind every kit delivered is a family, a neighbor, a volunteer who chose warmth over cold. These are their stories, shared with their trust and told in their own words.

“When the power went out for the third time that week, I wrapped my daughters in every blanket we owned,” Oksana recalls. Days later, a Warm Winters UA kit arrived with thermal layers, a heater, and blankets soft enough for her girls to finally sleep through the cold nights.

Hopeful takeaway: Her daughters now help pack kits for other families in their building.
