Help Ukrainian refugees flee to Canada

18+ families and counting need your help

For refugees needing immediate assistance, join Ukraine to Canada on Telegram >

Other ways to donate:

  • Air miles

    Your unused frequent flyer and credit card points help support airfare for those who don’t have the ability to cover flights to Canada.

  • Become a temporary host

    We’re looking for hosts that can offer a temporary spare room or property in Ontario — ensuring safe and appropriate matches.

Help Ukrainian families start a new life in Ottawa

Right now, the largest refugee crisis since World War 2 is happening in Europe. Over 2 million refugees are fleeing their homes due to a brutal, unprovoked attack on democracy.

They’ve left loved ones behind, travelled long distances, and don't know what to do or where they should go next.

We’re helping them now: A small group of Canadians are helping Ukrainians navigate their way out of an active war zone to make their way to Ottawa, Canada within the coming weeks.

We need your help.
