The "Protected" relief fund, established by the Women's Ministry of the Ukrainian Baptist Churches Association in the USA, supports Ukrainian women who have lost their husbands or sons during the devastating war in Ukraine. We assist the wives of volunteers who fought courageously for their homeland's freedom, not just military wives. Over 60,000 families still await news of missing loved ones, while more than 70,000 families mourn husbands and sons lost in the conflict. These shattered families receive no financial support from the Ukrainian government under current law.

​

Consider Andrii Korniichuk, a former youth pastor in Ukraine—a devoted servant of God, loving husband, and father. His wife Tatiana now faces life alone with their one-year-old daughter. Or Olena, now raising three children by herself after her 30-year-old husband Illiya died fighting for Ukraine. Two of her children have special needs requiring frequent medical attention and specialized care. Olena confronts an overwhelming future managing her children's needs without her husband's support.

Our fund is dedicated to helping families like these. Thousands of women and children live in despair, struggling to find hope and strength to continue. We're here to provide both practical assistance and renewed hope.

​

Every two months, we deliver food packages, Christian literature, and other necessities to 50 supported families. We also provide financial assistance for medical expenses, covering portions of healthcare costs. We cannot remain inactive—our mission is to remind these families that God remains with them, and we serve as His hands in their devastated world.
