The invasion of Ukraine is a tragedy for all of its citizens, but for children who are disabled or who are living with a life-limiting illness like cancer or heart disease, it is the worst situation imaginable. Access to medication and therapies are in short supply and the only hope of survival is to get to a place of safety. Thousands of sick children and orphans in Ukraine are dependent on life-saving treatment, medicines or palliative care packages and they need help now.
KCA is working with Ukrainian partners Tabletochki, Future UKR and Tvoya-Opora to get the most vulnerable children and their families living with serious conditions or who are orphaned to the border of Poland where they will have access to the health resources, food and refuge that they need immediately.
This means organizing escorted transport to the border, taking doctors and emergency medication with them, and getting food and basic provisions along the way.
We are supporting children who have had to flee Ukraine to safety. We are working with incredible partners and flying families to safety in Portugal and into a welcoming community.
