Plebeian Helpers

PlebeianHelpers

Grassroots volunteers providing humanitarian aid to those in need

We are grassroots volunteers who provide food and supplies, advocacy, and financial assistance to people who need help because of violent conflict, natural disasters, poverty, and injustice.

Aid For Ukrainians

During the past three years, PlebeianHelpers received $380,000 from over 700 donations to enable over 40 of our volunteers to travel to Ukraine and Poland at their own expense to purchase at wholesale prices and deliver over $450,000 worth of goods and services for Ukrainian civilians. In August 2024 alone, our volunteers provided humanitarian aid to over 4,000 Ukrainians who are suffering as a result of the war.

The Ukrainian people need our help now more than ever. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled the country, more than 5 million have been displaced within Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians have been killed or injured. Residential areas, hospitals, schools, energy infrastructure and industrial facilities have been completely destroyed. Yet, much of the humanitarian aid previously provided by Western governments is being withdrawn. 

In July 2025, PlebeianHelpers will make our 5th trip to Poland and Ukraine to provide aid to Ukrainian refugees in Poland and to Ukrainian civilians who have been displaced from their homes to shelters inside Ukraine. We are asking for donations for reconstruction and to provide them with food, clothing, hygiene products, medical equipment and basic living supplies.

100% of the funds we receive will be used for the benefit of Ukrainians.

Providing Aid To Ukrainian Civilians

The PlebeianHelpers Aid Center

We are also asking for your financial assistance to provide support for the PlebeianHelpers Aid Center in Kyiv, which will serve as a major focal point for the distribution of food, water, school supplies, medical equipment and other basic necessities to Ukrainians suffering in the conflict zone and throughout Ukraine as a result of Russia’s war of aggression in violation of international law.

We will not abandon the Ukrainian people. 

PlebeianHelpers was founded on the notion that common people of all countries are connected by our humanity. Western governments might withdraw military aid to Ukraine and they might even withdraw humanitarian aid for Ukrainians but PlebeianHelpers is proudly among those all over the world who will remain standing for the Ukrainian people who are suffering as a result of a war that Western governments supported.

If we help sustain the Ukrainians, we are conveying a powerful message: “Hang in there. You’re not alone. We’re still with you.” It will give them the hope they need to resist Russia’s objective to eradicate Ukraine’s sovereignty.

“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”
