Mending Roots is a grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine – one person, one family at a time. For over four years, we have been on the ground, responding to urgent and evolving needs with compassion, speed, and personal care.

We provide essential humanitarian aid, critical support, and educational resources to those facing crisis both in Ukraine and among Ukrainians who have recently arrived in the United States. Our assistance covers urgent needs – food, shelter, medication, and safe evacuation – while also supporting longer-term recovery as individuals and families rebuild their lives. Because we believe compassion has no boundaries, we also extend our care to the animals of Ukraine – the beloved pets and strays left behind, who depend on the kindness of those who stayed.

For Ukrainians adjusting to life in a new country, we offer guidance, community connection, translation assistance, and support navigating employment, education, and essential services.

In close partnership with trusted individuals and community partners both in Ukraine and abroad, we work to deliver compassionate, targeted assistance where it is needed most.

627 individuals served. 255 animals cared for. 95% of every donation goes directly to those who need it most.

Our mission is made possible through the generosity of supporters whose tax-deductible donations help restore stability, dignity, and hope during extraordinarily difficult times.
