​
Self-organized team of volunteers and donors from the US, UK and Australia launched and led by Ethan Evans, Amy Kemp, Krissy Regan and Matt McKissock, and partnered with local volunteers on the ground in Poland and Ukraine to raise awareness and funds and organize and direct financial and volunteer resources to their points of greatest impact against the Ukrainian refugee crisis. All of our foreign (e.g., American or British) volunteers and representatives on the ground here in Poland are unpaid and self-funded. In other words, we pay our own way to be here, and we receive no compensation for our time or reimbursement for our expenses. We have an established with The Hispanic Community Council 501C3 “pass through” charity in the US, so we can receive your taxable donations now.
