PlebeianHelpers Inc.

We are grassroots volunteers who provide goods, support services, advocacy and financial assistance to people who need help because of violent conflict, natural disasters, poverty and injustice. In 2022 and 2023, we travelled to Poland and Ukraine to purchase clothing, hygiene products, sleeping gear, medical equipment, household items, baby supplies, preserved food and other goods for Ukrainian refugees and Ukrainians suffering inside Ukraine. We plan to make another trip to aid Ukrainians in August 2024. See Report to Donors https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:e84dde58-2982-4c2c-aa99-1cd24bbe0158

We strive for a world where people are able to live in a safe and healthy environment with dignity, equality, human rights and an opportunity to follow their aspirations and contribute to their community.

Goal One: To provide further humanitarian aid to Ukrainian refugees and Ukrainians suffering inside Ukraine

Goal Two: To expand our capacity by establishing an Advisory Board, developing a marketing program, implementing a broader fund raising campaign and expanding the international reach of our programs

Goal Three: Identify potential beneficiaries of our programs from around the world.

The CEO and Senior VP of Operations have conducted dozens of meetings and conference calls with Directors, Officers and volunteers, individually and as a group, to discuss all aspects of our operation, including the roles of Directors and Officers as well as the roles of volunteers in leadership positions.

After our trip in July 2022 for which 9 volunteers had raised $56,000 to purchase and distribute goods in Poland and in Ukraine, we recognized that in order to increase our impact for our trip in August 2023 we needed to increase the number of volunteers despite the increased danger of the program, to expand our fund raising despite widely publicized "Ukraine fatigue," to identify refugee centers remaining in eastern Poland even though most of the refugees there had either relocated throughout Poland or returned to Ukraine and to develop opportunities for the volunteers to work inside Ukraine despite the ongoing war. In August 2023, 23 volunteers raised more than $150,000 to purchase goods for five refugee centers in or near Krakow, and we worked with strategic partners in providing goods for Ukrainians living throughout Ukraine, including the eastern conflict zone, and several of our volunteers worked in the Carpathian Mountains in Western Ukraine for Ukrainian War Veteran families.
