Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (4)
  1. $138,583 spent. Humanitarian Aid: Over the past year, Support Ukraine With Us (SUWU) served over 4,000 food-insecure families across Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, and Sumy regions - areas most affected by the war. Our distributions provided more than 200,000 meals and hygiene kits to large families, seniors, and people with disabilities. In collaboration with the Jesuit Refugee Service, we supported refugee and geriatric centers with food, hygiene products, and utilities, ensuring dignified care for displaced persons and the elderly. SUWU also funded direct medical assistance, including genomic cancer testing (FoundationOne CDx) for individualized treatment planning and life-improving surgery for patients in need.
  2. $50,019 spent. Frontline Medical Support: SUWU bridges the gap between medical needs and frontline care by partnering with mobile medical units in active conflict zones. We procured and delivered over 1,500 trauma kits, tourniquets, dressings, and airway devices, as well as 800 packages of essential medicines sourced from trusted Ukrainian suppliers. Our targeted support strengthened field readiness, enabled immediate trauma response, and provided lifesaving assistance to wounded soldiers and medics under fire. We also delivered specialized medical equipment, including a Drger Carina ventilator, to enhance critical-care capacity in mobile hospitals.
  3. $27,116 spent. Emergency Response and Power Assistance: In response to widespread blackouts and infrastructure damage, SUWU supplied emergency power systems to both civilian families and frontline responders. We delivered 33 portable power stations, 17 batteries, 2 generators, and 1 Starlink communication system. These units powered radios, and medical devices, enabling communication, supporting early-warning systems, and ensuring uninterrupted access to heat, light, and essential care for vulnerable families and soldiers alike.
  4. $3,596 spent. Youth and Education Support: SUWU prioritized education continuity for children displaced by war. We provided laptops and school supplies to households with school-age children who had lost access to in-person education. This initiative enabled remote learning, ensured academic progress during displacement, and helped children regain a sense of normalcy and hope amid uncertainty.
