ХХХI Конвенція СУА 129 Fund, which was instrumental in the procurement and funding of an MRI Unit as well as other medical equipment for the Children of Chornobyl Hospital in Lviv. Today, that fund and the Marusia Beck Chor- nobyl Fund provide medical and hospital care for children burn victims, working along with Shriner’s Hospital and Doctors Collaborating to Help Children (DCtoHC). The UNWLA covers travel and expens- es for doctors, headed by Dr. Gennadiy Fuzaylov of the Massachusetts General Hospital, to hold yearly free clinics for burn victims in Ukraine. It also pays for the shipping of medical supplies and equipment needed in the hospitals where the clinics are held. In commemoration of its 75th anniversary, the UNWLA initiated the Milk and Roll Program to help young children in schools begin their day with a meal. In cases of natural or man-made disasters such as mine accidents, flooding, airport disasters, and hurricanes; individuals seeking medical assistance; or giving ill children the opportunity to attend summer camp, the UNWLA Social Welfare program has provided assistance and aid in Ukraine or wherever Ukrainians have needed help. At this time, once again, Ukraine and Ukrainians struggle for sovereignty. Hundreds of troops deployed by Russian president Putin have invaded Ukraine, supported by separatist thugs. They have in- filtrated the main cities, towns, and villages of eastern Ukraine. Ukrainians once again find themselves fighting for the freedom of their country. Once again, they are at war with Russian Imperialism. Once again, the Social Welfare program is heavily engaged in providing financial and humanitarian aid to victims of war. This time it is the War of Dignity. It began with the Revolution of Dignity, which was the Maidan. Once again, the UNWLA has joined forces with Ukrainians in the diaspora to help their Ukraini- an brothers and sisters. As the new Social Welfare Chair of the UNWLA since 2014, I proposed the establishment of the UNWLA War Victims Fund. The goal of the proposed project was to provide medical care and physi- cal/psychological rehabilitation. This would facilitate emotional healing and well-being, thus enabling these victims to recover from their injuries and actively engage in their present and future. The UNWLA War Victims Fund would help cover both the immediate and long-term needs of severely wounded warriors, who without funding are most at-risk for institutionalization, and their fami- lies doomed to live in poverty. Wounded soldiers are not the only victims of war. There are orphans, and the families and elderly parents of wounded soldiers who must take care of them. Since its inception at the beginning of the War of Dignity, the UNWLA War Victims Fund has financially aided wounded soldiers and their families in many ways, either through the Adopt the Family of a Fallen Hero program or by helping wounded sol- diers sent to U.S. military hospitals for major surgeries or implanting of prosthetic devices. In Ukraine, our representative, Dr. Maria Furtak, visits wounded soldiers in hospitals in Dnipro, Kharkiv, Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Zaporizhia, and Lviv, among others, distributing financial aid from that fund to them or their fami- lies. In 2014, $176,383 was disbursed to the following: 1. Maidan 83,590 2. Orphans 1,843 3. War victims trauma supplies 35,000 medical supplies 8,000 individual soldiers for medical treatments 23,950 4. DCtoHC burn victims 4,000 5. Dzherelo center for children with disabilities 20,000 In 2015, the total for all Social Welfare aid distributed was $151,410. Here is the breakdown of funds: 1.
