PMINJ is partnering with Save the Children to assist the Children of Ukraine

We are gravely concerned for children in Ukraine who might be caught in the middle of armed conflict, forced to flee their homes and exposed to injury, hunger and sub-zero temperatures.

Save the Children is right now on the ground, in the U.S. and around the world, delivering essential humanitarian aid. Your donations help this life-saving work.

The Board has matched donations to $4,000
