We Fled.
They Couldn't.

We are Ukrainian refugees living in Berlin. The people we help never got to leave — children with disabilities, elderly people too frail to flee, civilians caught in the war with nothing left. We pack food, medicine, wheelchairs, hygiene supplies and vitamins, and a volunteer driver delivers them directly across Ukraine.

Our Work

In the chaos of war, the most vulnerable are forgotten first — children with cerebral palsy who can't flee, grandmothers who can't walk to a shelter, animals abandoned when families were forced to evacuate.

Children with disabilities

Children with Disabilities

Over 370 children with special needs — cerebral palsy, autism, seizure disorders — depend on our regular deliveries of diapers, specialized nutrition, vitamins, and medications they can no longer get locally.
Elderly person

Isolated Elderly

Pensioners who survived the Soviet era now face a new nightmare. Many can't walk, can't shop, can't cook. We send walkers, wheelchairs, hygiene supplies, food, and a reminder that someone cares.
Displaced families

Displaced Families

Mothers raising children alone after fleeing bombed cities. Single parents with disabled children who lost everything. They need clothing, school supplies, food staples, and basic household items.
Shelter animals

Abandoned Animals

Shelters are overwhelmed with pets left behind during evacuations. We send dog and cat food, veterinary supplies, and collars to shelters caring for dozens of animals with no budget.

Changing the Way
Aid Is Delivered

We are a 100% volunteer-run Ukrainian charity based in Berlin. Every cent you donate goes directly to aid packages — food, medicine, wheelchairs, and hygiene supplies — delivered by volunteer drivers to children, elderly, and animals who couldn't flee.

Living on refugee assistance in Berlin, she spends what little she has on supplies for others. She packs every box herself — not in a warehouse, but in her apartment. A volunteer driver then makes the long haul from Berlin deep into Ukraine, delivering directly to the civilians who cannot come to the aid themselves.

A Refugee Who Refused to Look Away

Meet Agnessa

"I cannot look the other way when children are hungry."

Agnessa Romanina fled Ukraine and found safety in Berlin. But safety brought its own weight — the guilt of knowing that hundreds of thousands of civilians back home had no such luck. Children too disabled to be carried to safety. Grandmothers too frail to reach a shelter. People forgotten by the world. So she built "Angels Among Us" (Янголи серед нас) to reach them.

Living on refugee assistance in Berlin, she spends what little she has on supplies for others. She packs every box herself — not in a warehouse, but in her apartment. A volunteer driver then makes the long haul from Berlin deep into Ukraine, delivering directly to the civilians who cannot come to the aid themselves.

The foundation has zero paid staff. Agnessa draws no salary. Every single cent goes to aid for civilians who had no way out. She just needs your help to keep going.

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for your kindness. Thanks to your help, my mother received a wheelchair that has completely transformed her life after her stroke. Your care is priceless to us.

Food & Nutrition

Agnessa, there are no words. Tears in my eyes. How do you have enough strength for everyone? If a person has such a big heart, it means they've seen something in this life and know how to empathize. Special thanks for the gluten-free products. You are truly an angel in human form.
