Bright Kids focuses on providing support to handicapped children in Ukraine, by providing financial help to those children who don't have parental care, or whose families don't have the financial means to pay medical bills. They aim to support aftercare needs, such as treatments, rehabilitation, and recreational activities. But at this crucial time, they are providing these children and their families with essential items such as groceries, high-nutrition food, and hygiene products.
The charity itself is experiencing a huge amount of requests for support for these disabled children. The situation is heartbreaking, which still feels like a huge understatement.
We all know what is going on in Ukraine, no explanation is needed. It's shocking, terrifying, appalling, and saddening.
No one knows how long this war will go on for, but as each day goes by children will lose parents, parents will lose children and the survivors will have the hardest task of rebuilding from the rubble. The idea of war haunts us all, but just imagine being someone who can't just get up and leave. Handicapped children stuck in a war zone is a petrifying thought, we salute all those brave men & women for staying with these children.
We can't even imagine what it must be like. Please support this project, we think our Ukraine design is one of the best we have so far.
Essentials for Children Affected by the War
War deprives children of life’s essentials: schooling, healthcare, shelter, nutrition, and water. Forcibly displaced families, those living in contact zones, and families of children with disabilities – mostly single mums – are disproportionally affected by the economic crisis. Every day we receive requests for help from families whose lives have been significantly – and unjustifiably – impacted by the war. Parents fear they will be unable to feed their children because of soaring food prices, loss of income, and the lack of state support. BKC helps struggling families with their basic needs by providing access to essentials such as food, medicines, and hygiene and cleaning products. Your support helps BKC meet the immediate needs of struggling families and help them survive this war.
Support Children with Complex Health Needs
The war in Ukraine continues to bring large-scale death, destruction and hunger. Soaring prices have resulted in the rise of poverty in Ukraine. Families of children with disabilities and long-term conditions are significantly impacted; struggling families find it hard to afford food, and there is no money left for other necessities of a child with special health care needs. Today, an already underfunded and overwhelmed system cannot provide proper support for impoverished families, and they have to rely on help from charities for children’s necessities. Bright Kids is working to ensure that more Ukrainian children with special health care needs receive the necessary medical treatments and tests. We also provide our beneficiaries with such necessities as rehabilitation equipment, mobility and hearing aids.
Support Orphans
More than 100,000 children live in about 700 residential institutions nationwide. Many of these are children who have physical and learning disabilities, many have no primary carers. These children living in specialised institutions should not be the forgotten victims of the war; they equally deserve a chance for a brighter future. Unfortunately, as state funding priorities change in war, specialised institutions suffer even more. Inadequate living and studying conditions, poor nutrition, and lack of necessities are often realities for children living in institutionalised care. This means that without help the orphanages’ residents have to live and study in dismal conditions.
This project aims to support orphanages and other institutions for children by distributing necessities such as food, hygiene products, household cleaning supplies, and school supplies. In addition, we help purchase beds and mattresses and help equip classrooms. BKC also provides the materials and equipment essential to maintain the schools in good repair. Each facility has different needs, and we answer those specific needs.
Help Hospitals Deliver Children’s Healthcare
War crimes are being committed in Ukraine as hospitals are attacked, and citizens are displaced. As Russia has targeted attacks on Ukraine’s power grid, causing nationwide power cuts and water shortages, living conditions have worsened. Healthcare professionals are working in tough conditions. This, combined with massive underfinancing from the state, paints a dire picture for children reliant on healthcare services. Hospitals are desperate for help: from medicines to supplying wards and surgeries with life-saving equipment, there are insufficient funds to afford everything needed to save lives. BKC is committed to helping medical facilities provide healthcare for children. The hospitals we support have been inundated with children needing assistance. We provide essential medical tools, supplies, medicines and life-saving equipment to ensure effective medical care for children. We focus funding so that the most urgent and vital requests of medical facilities are answered.
Time is of the essence. Слава Україні
