Hope4Ukraine

01/25/2026

This past year, Hope4Ukraine has been present at fairs, community events, and gatherings collecting donations, meeting people, and carrying forward one shared belief: that even the smallest act of kindness can become something big.
As the year came to an end, we wanted to create a small miracle for people facing enormous challenges and still carry strength and heart.
Through this journey, we connected with the 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐍𝐨. 𝟖 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐯𝐢𝐯, where patients injured by shelling are receiving treatment for severe burns. This hospital performs complex procedures such as skin grafting and skin transplantation, giving people not just medical care, but a chance to heal and rebuild their lives.
The need was urgent. Due to limited resources, the equipment being used did not have enough disposable instruments. Surgical tools were sterilized and reused multiple times, even when blade quality was no longer optimal, simply because there was no alternative.
Thanks to your donations, Hope4Ukraine was able to purchase the required equipment and dozens of additional disposable grafting heads, ensuring safer, more effective procedures for patients who have already endured unimaginable trauma.

From the smallest donation to the largest, every contribution became part of something truly life-changing.
Thank you to everyone who supported us, trusted us, and stood with Ukraine.
Please continue to support us!
The war has not ended, even if it has faded from the headlines.
Small donations still matter.
This work is serious. This work is vital.
With deep gratitude,
Hope for Ukraine 🇺🇦💙

A Message from Regina Appatova, Director of The Concert

Dear friends,
The moment is almost here! In just a few short days, we’ll gather for a night that promises to be unforgettable—a concert of heartfelt, soul-stirring original songs by Oleg Osadchy and his ensemble, The Black Sea.
This evening will be more than a performance. It will be a shared experience—a celebration of resilience, memory, and hope through music. You’ll not only hear Oleg’s powerful voice and poetry—you’ll feel it. And you’ll have the rare opportunity to meet him in person: a man whose art flows straight from the soul of Ukraine, and whose warmth, humor, and humility light up every room he enters.
So, come with open hearts—and bring your joy with you.

🎉 Dress in Ukrainian folk style or wear the colors of the Ukrainian flag—let’s turn the hall into a sea of blue and yellow.

🎶 Sing along, clap, dance! Your energy will lift the performers and make the evening truly magical.

💵 And yes, bring a little cash for the handcrafted souvenirs or a sip of something spirited from our refreshment table. Every little bit helps the cause.

If you haven’t purchased your ticket online yet, please plan to arrive early—there may be a line, and we don’t want anyone to miss a moment of the show.
Let’s come together, as a community and as a chorus of solidarity, to support a country and a culture that continue to inspire the world.
See you at the concert—and let’s make it a night to remember.

With love and anticipation,
Regina Appatova

My dearest friends,
I’m filled with immense gratitude and joy as I reach out to you today. With your generous hearts and open arms, you helped us raise an incredible $4,000 at our recent Odessa concert with the incomparable Oleg Osadchy and the soul-stirring band "Chernoye More". Because of you—and with the generous support of Cedar Village—life-saving tourniquets have already reached Odessa and the surrounding region. These critical tools of tactical medicine are now in the hands of those who need them most. Hope4Ukraine received beautiful, heartfelt letter of thanks from our friends on the ground.
Bravo, bravo, bravo to each of you. Together, we’ve turned music into medicine, art into action.

On this special day, we honor the brave men and women of the United States who have selflessly served their country, both in times of peace and war. Their sacrifices have played a vital role in safeguarding freedoms and upholding the values of democracy.

We are also profoundly grateful to our American friends for their unwavering support. It is through your steadfast partnership that Ukraine continues its fight for independence and a brighter future.

Freedom is not free.
