Vsesylini project

Over the past year, London-based psychotherapist and trauma specialist Emily Cavendish has been collaborating with Olga Peskova, a remarkable Ukrainian woman who returned home from London to Odesa to found VseSylini (to empower). Together with a team of psychologists, doctors, administrators, and volunteers, Olga is providing vital psychological support to frontline soldiers.

These men and women have endured unimaginable horrors. Many live with Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD. At VseSylini, they receive individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and strategies to cope with their trauma and to begin the process of healing.

As of 13th October the clinic is treating its 14th group of serving soldiers during their two weeks of leave from the front. Demand is growing, and the team is preparing to expand services to veterans, combat medics, family members, former prisoners of war, and displaced civilians. It is also our hope to be able to offer aesthetic rehabilitation to treat scarring and disfigurement, sadly now commonplace amongst wounded soldiers, and other treatments to support physical rehabilitation such as physiotherapy. Our approach is holistic and integrative, which acknowledges that the impact of trauma is psychological, physical, spiritual and social.

Through Cares Ukraine, donations can now reach VseSylini securely and directly. Your gift will make a real difference.

CARES DIRECTOR John Banaszkiewicz with the children in Ukraine

Why we started the Charity - Our Mission

During the early stages of the war, we journeyed to Ukraine where we were deeply touched by the courage and bravery exhibited by the Ukrainian people. The condition of the medical care in the region was especially disheartening, and we felt an urgent need to help them.

That’s how and when CARES UKRAINE was born, and we are proud to say that our supporters have contributed a staggering amount of over £250,000 towards aiding Ukraine. In order to help others understand the war in Ukraine we even went the extra mile and produced an impactful mini-documentary that captures the relentless brutality of this major war in Europe.

Our goal is to keep interest in as many people as possible and rally support towards helping Ukrainians fight for thier countries survival. Our strategy is simple and effective; we strive to deliver direct relief to these resilient communities reducing any involvement of middlemen or expensive administrative costs.

With your continued backing, we will strive to offer humanitarian aid to those in need. Together, let’s say Slava Ukraini and make a meaningful difference! Please, Please don’t delay donate today!

NEWS

Delivery of Ambulance

We are delighted to announce that our last Ambulance, which had been stuck in documentation processing at the Polish border, has finally been liberated and delivered to our friends in Ukraine. It is now saving the lives of their brave soldiers operating on the front lines somewhere in the region of Kharkiv. It’s our great hope that this vehicle will survive the war and save many lives. We also delivered some power supplies and drone parts to the army.

PROJECTS

Project - VseSylini ("to empower") - Olga Peskova

Over the past year, London based psychotherapist and trauma specialist Emily Cavendish has been collaborating with Olga Peskova, a remarkable Ukrainian woman who returned home from London to Odesa to found VseSylini (to empower). There, she and her team of psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors, administrators and volunteers offer frontline soldiers vital psychological help.

These men and women have witnessed unimaginable horrors. Many live with Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD. At VseSylini, they receive individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and strategies to cope with trauma.

The clinic is now treating its 11th group of active-duty soldiers during their two weeks of leave. Demand is growing and the clinic is hoping to expand their services to include veterans, combat medics, family members, prisoners of war and displaced civilians.

Through Cares Ukraine, we now have a secure way to channel donations directly to VseSylini. Your support will fund:
Salaries for clinicians and staff.
Trauma-focused training and supervision.
Equipment like VR glasses and neurofeedback tools
Outreach work with medics and marines.
Expansion to include veterans and families.

Every contribution helps us offer healing, dignity, and hope to those who’ve sacrificed everything to defend their country and their people.

Project - MM-Medics

We at CARES Ukraine help support teams of Nurses, Doctors, Trauma Surgeons and anaesthesiologists who provide medical care and medical evacuations for front-line civilians or injured troops. The volunteers unit consist of dedicated medical professionals from Ukraine and the EU who operate in the most basic facilities behind the front battle lines. The teams perform dangerous medical frontline response with very limited resources, often using civilian vehicles that normally have a short life expectancy. The medical team treats an average of 500 priority red casevacs per month, these are critical injuries requiring immediate life or death attention.

At CARES UKRAINE we supply these medical units with essential equipment such as pressure bandages, tourniquets, clotting agents, and other critical supplies to treat trauma injuries. CARES UKRAINE provides essential first aid for both for soldiers as well as civilians which is why our medical units can’t get support with first aid from the Red Cross.

Join the humanitarian effort to make a difference in the lives of those on the front lines and civilians affected by the war.

Fire Engines for Ukraine

We are appealing to you for our Fire engines In Solidarity project, a new initiative set up
by us, to raise funds to purchase second hand fire engines for the valiant Ukrainian
fire & rescue service.

We have come up with this idea because we believe we can help and support the
Ukrainian firefighters in their battle. As an example, the fire engine above costs £7000
with all the necessary equipment.

I am asking if you can fund one of them, or if you wish to contribute with your
donation, to help us buying a fire engine or firefighting and medical equipment. We
need this as there are some small villages in the Donbas region which are 2 to 3 hours
away from the main centres, and sometimes it can be too late for them when the
rescue teams arrive.

follow us... from Burnley to Bakhmut

Our first visit to Ukraine was in late spring 2023. The expedition was to deliver vital humanitarian aid and our first armoured ambulance to the front line at Bakhmut, a city that was under heavy assault from the PMC Wagner millitary forces.

We journeyed from Burnley in Lancashire and across from Britain through Europe and into Ukraine. Please watch our short film and share in our experience and witness the resilience and bravery of the Ukrainian people.

To the many heroes we met on this journey, we support their fight against tyranny. Please give generously.
