ABOUT PROGRAM

United Help Ukraine’s Medical Aid Program provides supplies and equipment to state-run and military hospitals across Ukraine. We also help cover medical expenses for wounded service members and veterans. United Help Ukraine offers additional support for living and travel costs for those who require long-term treatment.

Two smaller components of the program promote the Mental Wellness of civilians traumatized by war and the Wounded Warrior. We pay for travel to the U.S. for amputee defenders in need of prostheses, physical therapy, and emotional support.

Through purchases, partnerships, and in-kind donations from the U.S. and abroad, we obtain and distribute everything from syringes to ventilators and other life-saving operating-room equipment. The State of Maryland donated several ventilators that we transported to hospitals in need.

This program also provides triage-training funds to help medical providers in Ukraine handle mass casualty events. UHU has a joint venture with the Syrian American Medical Association in Washington, D.C., and the Ukrainian Medical Association called Project 22. This collaboration supplies a network of 22 hospitals on the front lines with resources to handle mass casualties.

“Medical aid is incredibly crucial during this time of intense conflict, and our Medical Aid Program allows us to provide much-needed, life-saving supplies to hospitals and other medical facilities across Ukraine.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU.

Mental Wellness SMUHA

Launched by United Help Ukraine, SMUHA Family Resilience Project is a mental health initiative designed to support Ukrainian children and families navigating the psychological impact of war. Every day, children and parents are living through displacement, loss, and prolonged stress. Without timely support, these experiences can lead to long-term emotional and developmental challenges. SMUHA works to address these needs through structured, accessible psychological support and capacity-building. “It is vital to the health of Ukraine’s children and young people that they are not overlooked during this challenging time. We are proud to be at the forefront of efforts to care for the people who represent such a crucial piece of our nation’s future.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU. What SMUHA does SMUHA focuses on building a coordinated system of support that combines direct services with professional training. Training and supervision The program prepares psychologists and volunteers through structured training and ongoing supervision, helping ensure consistent and responsible care delivery. Direct support for families Psychologists provide individual counseling, group sessions, and structured activities that help children and parents process stress and restore emotional balance. Family-centered approach Support is designed for both children and parents, recognizing that recovery and resilience happen within the family unit. Expanding access to care SMUHA is developing a broader support network to improve access to psychological services and connect families with appropriate levels of care when needed. Current reach SMUHA is an active program with measurable outputs: • 300+ psychologists trained • 27,000+ children and adults reached • A growing network of resilience hubs These figures reflect ongoing work and continue to evolve as the program expands. Where the work happens SMUHA operates through in-person resilience hubs, where children and families receive consistent psychological support in structured, safe environments. Four hubs are currently active in: • Kyiv • Irpin • Ivano-Frankivsk • Chernihiv At these locations, families can access: • Individual and group sessions • Programs designed for children • Family-oriented counseling • Structured environments that support emotional stabilization These hubs represent the operational core of the program. Why this matters Ukraine is facing a significant and long-term mental health challenge. Prolonged exposure to stress and trauma affects children’s development, family dynamics, and community stability. Early and consistent support can reduce these risks and help families maintain functioning and resilience over time. SMUHA contributes to this effort by combining direct care with workforce development—helping expand access to psychological support where it is needed. SMUHA supports Ukrainian families in managing the psychological impact of war—through practical care, trained professionals, and accessible support systems.

Wounded Warrior

The Wounded Warrior Program, part of the Medical Aid Program Medical Aid Program, supports travel to the U.S. for treatment of Ukrainian wounded warriors. The United Help Ukraine focuses on those amputee defenders who are not available for treatment in Ukraine. The enhanced treatment, prosthetics, and recovery became possible in a partnership with Medical Center Orthotics and Prosthetics in Silver Spring, MD. We also offer housing, transportation, entertainment, and emotional support to those who have sacrificed so much fighting for their country. The Washington Post highlights this initiative with the heartbreaking story of a defender after being captive. “By providing emotional support to our brave warriors, United Help Ukraine is giving these soldiers a piece of home while they are receiving life-saving treatment here in the US.” Maryna Baydyuk, President, UHU. United Help Ukraine supports defenders with prosthetics by sponsoring their participation in the world-renowned annual Marine Corps Marathon, held annually in Washington, D.C. Learn how you can support these brave people.
