Send a Child to Winter Camp

Dear supporters of Help Us Help, 

On November 30th, 2024 - Help Us Help will be hosting its annual Send A Child To Winter Camp fundraising event!

Join us in creating a memorable Winter Camp 2025 for Ukrainian orphans. Every donation will help bring deserving children from orphanages across Ukraine to a 10-day Winter Camp in the beautiful Carpathian Mountains. The Help Us Help Winter Camp program aims to provide life-changing and lasting experiences and transferable skills that will benefit the participants for the rest of their lives. 

It costs $1,000 to sponsor one child for the full Winter Camp experience, where they will partake in traditional Ukrainian Christmas celebrations, learn new skills, and participate in activities, including a variety of educational workshops, Ukrainian carolling, skiing and snowboarding, and Malanka; the Ukrainian New Year celebration. 

This holiday season, Help Us Help the children of Ukraine experience a true authentic Ukrainian Christmas! Your generosity will help our staff and volunteers ensure that every child feels a sense of family, care and belonging in a safe and supportive environment. Together, we can make this holiday season truly unforgettable.

The event will feature:

Winter Camp 2025

Help Us Help will be hosting its annual Winter Camp, where 72 orphaned children from various regions of Ukraine will come together for a ten-day, enriching experience. During this special camp, the children will not only celebrate a traditional Ukrainian Christmas, but also engage in festivities like Malanka, Ukrainian caroling, and a deep exploration of Ukrainian heritage and Christmas traditions.

Additionally at our camps, we focus on providing comprehensive support for the children, promoting their physical, psychological, and social well-being. Through a diverse range of activities, including winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding, computer workshops, dance lessons, folklore sessions, and arts-based activities, the children will have an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop transferable life skills which will better prepare them for life once they age out of their institutions.

The camps also incorporate psychological rehabilitation through support from trained professional counselors, helping the children process their experiences and develop coping strategies. Our mission is to create a safe, memorable, and nurturing environment where the campers can flourish and learn about their cultural heritage, while also experiencing the joy of the holiday season.
