Private individuals in Poland organizing help for refugees from Ukraine
War in Ukraine Relief Action
Since the start of the war in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Ariana and her collaborators have been taking actions to help the refugees fleeing the Russian invaders. They are coordinating the transport of supplies into Ukraine and the evacuation of people out of Ukraine. Supplies are delivered from Poland to civilians and military personnel. As many people as possible are evacuated from Ukraine in the vehicles that deliver supplies. Once the Ukrainian refugees are safe in Poland, Ariana and many other individuals find shelter for them.
This is not the first time Ariana has helped refugees fleeing from war. After the Taliban took over in Afghanistan in August 2021, she has already supported refugees, asylum seekers and migrants from Afghanistan as well as Syria, Yemen and other territories touched by wars and conflicts.
​
The actions are mainly financed with her funds and those collected from family, friends and some limited donations. She is continually raising money to support the refugees that are already in Poland as well as to allow them to support their brave fathers, husbands and sons who remained in Ukraine to defend their homeland from the Russian invaders.
