Supporting Internally Displaced Ukrainians During the Ongoing Crisis

Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, Federation and our partners have been providing lifesaving support for more than 6,500 internally displaced people, including Alex and his family. Alex, his wife Iryna and two young children evacuated from Kherson, Ukraine, in the beginning of the war. “Masha was just a baby then, which made it three times harder. The drive to Odesa took about 16 to 18 hours,” said Iryna. Then Federation’s network of support took over: “There was rent assistance and winter relief, all kinds of calming techniques that we practiced in JCC Halom,” the couple shared. “My parents are also JDC and Hesed clients. We go to camps with our children to take our minds off things and lift our spirits. There’s no doubt we’ve felt supported this whole time.” Click here to watch a video about the family's experience.
