Donation outcomes 2026

We are providing regular and continuous support for our Ukrainian sangha, their families and friends whose lives are changed forever. We keep checking with those who stay in Ukraine and those who need support as refugees. We are happy to help families with children, for medical expenses, transportation and school.
