Support Ukrainian children who lost parents
You can’t change their past – but you can shape the future
Fill the Shelves of Care
Thousands of children under our care are in constant need of essentials – clothing, school gadgets, medication, heating equipment, and more.
The Shelves of Care visually reflect just a part of these everyday needs.
You don’t have to cover everything – just give what you can. If your support changes
even one child’s life, it’s already worth it.
Here’s how the Shelves of Care work:
-
Choose any item from the list – it will appear on a shelf. You can fill as many shelves as you like.
-
As you add items, a progress bar will display the recommended donation amount.
Prefer to set your own amount? No problem – you can manually enter it in the dedicated field.
-
Once ready, choose how you’d like to give: make a one-time donation or become a monthly supporter.
We’re committed to caring for each child until they turn 18 – that’s why regular donations are so important.

What our supporters say
I really hope this donation reaches good hands that are in need of it. To whoever my money goes to, I want you to know that your family member(s) who died for your beautiful country are heroes. They will be remembered and honored as national heroes. They died for you and your country’s future. This donation comes from Alexander, but you can call me Sasha. I am a man from Sweden, the country with the same colors as Ukraine!
Sophia and Anna, both 9 years old, are best friends from New Jersey, USA. Anna's father is Ukrainian American. During their summer break, the two girls came up with the idea of making and selling bracelets to raise funds for kids in Ukraine. They walked around their neighborhood with a poster and their handmade products, knocked on doors, and talked to their neighbors. One morning, they made over $40, which they decided to donate to Children of Heroes.
From one Finnish woman who lost her father in the war against the same enemy in 1944, 79 years ago. We all hoped: never again. Thank you for this fund that I can contribute to!
Some nights, I cry for the people in Ukraine. Why are there death, destruction, and devastation all across the world? Why can’t the people of the world just live in harmony and have fun? Humans are supposed to be the most intelligent of all creatures, yet it is us who are intent on killing each other and the world in which we live.
I give to Children of Heroes because, as a psychologist in the US, I know that war – instigated by a madman who believes his Russian Empire has the right to murder and plunder a free nation and crush democracy – leaves more destruction than just dead soldiers in its path. Children of war need support, love, mental health programs, and hope. Children of Heroes provides stability to children living in the rubble of a war they did not create and cannot resolve.
Raised by my daughters Sofia (8) and Maya (6), selling some of their toys with the help of their neighbor Emilia (9). They wanted to do what they could to help children in Ukraine who are in need. We send them our love, support, and a bit of cash.
