How We Can Help Ukraine

Things are getting worse each day in Ukraine and if you are like me, you feel helpless and want to try and do anything you can in order to make the suffering of the Ukrainian people even a little bit better.

At Two Rivers Acupuncture, we have dedicated our work to improving the lives of others, alleviating suffering and helping people live healthier and happier, so when there is a humanitarian crisis like this we cannot help but want to not only be involved but try and draw in our local community to make things better for the Ukrainian people.

Here are some ways we plan on doing this

Where we will be donating :

HIAS Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. This organization who historical aided Jewish immigrants and refugees now works with all people who are refugees. HIAS helped my own family, my Grandparents and Aunts who were refugees from the Holocaust and if it wasn’t for this organization, I may not be here today. I am a living example of what is possible when a refugee is given a chance of a new life and support. My family endured suffering and hardship and I cannot imagine what is in store for the millions of displaced families right now in Ukraine. Besides my own personal connection of being a descendant of refugees who were helped by this organization, they are on the ground in Ukraine helping and they need our help! To Donate Click Here

Doctors Without Borders

“As the war in Ukraine escalates, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is mobilizing to set up emergency response activities. We now have teams in Ukraine, Poland, Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia, Russia, and Belarus. MSF is an independent and impartial organization committed to providing medical humanitarian assistance to people affected by the war no matter who they are or where they are.

We have had to halt normal activities in Ukraine and switch to emergency operations. Teams are preparing for a range of scenarios, including providing surgical care, emergency medicine, and mental health support for displaced people. On March 6, our first shipment of emergency supplies was safely received by the Ministry of Health in Kyiv. The shipment includes surgical kits, trauma kits, and basic necessities for intensive care units, emergency rooms, and surgical operating theaters—approximately 1,400 cubic feet of supplies. These supplies are now being sent on to hospitals in the city and other towns further east where they are urgently needed.” Click here to Donate
