Our Journey

iHELP – Helping Ukraine During Wartime: Food. Medicine. Humanitarian Action.

When the first explosion shook Kyiv, countless lives changed in an instant. Tetiana Dziubenko didn’t hesitate. Alongside her family and neighbours, she began delivering food to the nearest bomb shelters, supporting those left homeless by the chaos. What started as a simple act of kindness soon grew into a mission. From that spark, the iHELP Charitable Foundation - known in Ukrainian as “Я ДОПОМАГАЮ” - was born. A beam of hope in the darkness of war.

Charitable Foundation iHELP. First steps

As of March 2022, the iHELP charity foundation has created logistics and provided food to people who lost their homes due to the war launched by Russia against Ukraine and were forced to live in bomb shelters. The food was provided to people along the central branch of the Kyiv metro, helping thousands of residents of the capital.

Our First Steps: Standing with Kyiv

Humanitarian Aid in Kyiv: Food, medicine, and baby supplies

From the first days of the invasion, our team never paused. Despite sirens, cold, and fear, we brought emergency aid to those who had lost everything. We delivered packages of food, medicine, and baby food to subway shelters, schools, hospitals, kindergartens, and nursing homes in Kyiv. Our volunteer work had one simple but vital goal: to be with those who needed it most.

Widening Our Reach: From the Capital to Borodianka

Aid to liberated towns in Kyiv Region: food, clothing, medicine

After the liberation of Kyiv region, our efforts expanded to new territories. We were among the first to go to the destroyed Borodyanka, where every street breathed of pain and loss.

The iHELP charity foundation has become a strong support for local residents. With the help of the priests of the OCU, we have established a stable transfer of humanitarian aid: food, blankets, medicine, clothing - everything that could restore people's hope for tomorrow.

iHELP. Preparation for the next humanitarian mission

Thanks to the Church of the Holy 40 Martyrs of Sebaste in Novobilichy, we created a humanitarian headquarters, which became a center of support and faith for the residents of the region, which has been significantly affected by the humanitarian crisis.

Frontline Action: Bringing Aid to the East

Humanitarian missions to Bakhmut, Soledar, Pokrovsk, Lysychansk, and more

After the situation in the Kyiv region stabilized, we moved east with help. Since May 2022, our routes have been to the most dangerous hot spots of the war, where few dared to go: Bakhmut, Soledar, Lysychansk, Novoluhanske, Avdiivka. We worked in difficult combat conditions, delivering humanitarian aid: food, tactical equipment, medicines to people who survived under constant shelling and in mined territories.

In Lysychansk, elderly parents asked us to deliver notes to their children outside Luhansk, anticipating the inevitable isolation of the occupation. This reminded us that every risk iHELP volunteers take is a chance to save someone's life.

Human Stories: Bringing Joy

Children’s aid in liberated regions: gifts, emotional support, and psychological care

We always remember: aid is not just about bread or water, it is about support, a sense of joy and humanity. In the newly liberated cities of Southern Ukraine, in particular the Kherson region, we worked, delivering New Year's gifts prepared by the children of Kyiv.

We saw the war-scarred children smile for the first time in a long time. One of them, Dmytryk, holding a gift in his hands, said: «Mom, this is a real holiday!»

Such moments not only bring joy to children, but also inspire our iHELP team to move forward, implement new projects, and help those who survived the war regain faith in a better future.

Facing Hardship Head-On

Crossing minefields and destruction to support war-torn communities

In villages like Oleksandrivka, Kamianka, and Izium, we walked through ruins where every step could be the last. True patriotism is action.

Mine-filled roads, cold winds, shelling - none of this could stop the iHELP team, which brought humanitarian aid even to these most dangerous places. Because we know: true patriotism is action.

Today and Tomorrow: Rebuilding Ukraine

Developing recovery projects and launching strategic partnerships

Today, we are expanding our partnerships, planning major projects to restore and rebuild Ukraine, helping communities return to a dignified life. Our activities include the restoration of homes, schools, and critical infrastructure in Kherson, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia, and Odesa regions, as well as in communities in eastern and southern Ukraine that have been hardest hit by the fighting.

iHELP with the leadership of the Kherson region

The goal of iHELP is not only to provide for basic human needs, but also to create a nurturing environment where everyone feels part of a strong, united Ukraine moving toward a dignified future.

Together we can do more: every donation helps provide food kits, medicine, or housing reconstruction to affected communities. iHELP volunteers turn your support into real help for those who need it most.
