ХХХI Конвенція СУА 131 9,220 – donations to 157 elderly women in 9 regions of Ukraine and also to women who suffered repression or were political prisoners. The lists were gath- ered by our representative in Ukraine as well as by the President of Soyuz Ukrainok Ukrainy, Oreslava Khomyk. 4. General Welfare Fund : 100,000 + 40,000 yearly for 4 years – funding for the new Mental Health Insti- tute at Lviv’s Ukrainian Catholic University, Prostir Nadiyi (of which the UN- WLA is one of the main supporters), which treats those suffering from PTSD. The UNWLA stipulated that all victims of war are not to be charged for treatment. 5. Orphans and Orphanages: 32,585 – for the needs of orphanages, orphans, and the disadvantaged. These were decided on an individual basis according to financial need. The orphanages are cared for by individual branches. 1,200 – for the purchase of a motorized chair for Maria Hubian, a 25-year-old artist who is a paraplegic and whose elderly parents needed the help; they had no family to help them. 4,000 – for Katya Smetska, a young exchange student who was diagnosed with cancer and could not go back to Ukraine. 2,000 – for a young woman’s premature baby in a neo-natal unit. 1,000 – for shunt surgery for a Down’s Syndrome girl in Zhytomyr. Our organization receives countless requests for help from individuals as well as organizations. It is our duty to read these letters and make decisions based on our by-laws and the IRS laws of the United States as to what actions we take. We have done so carefully, and have responded to every letter re- ceived. As you can see from this report, our members are extremely generous with their money and time to help their Ukrainian brothers and sisters in their time of need, wherever they may live. We continue to support already established programs, but now our focus is on the victims of the War of Dignity, which is ongoing even at this moment. As our President, Marianna Zajac, and Social Welfare Committee mem- bers Valentyna Tabaka and Bohdanna Yudina can attest by their personal visits to wounded soldiers in hospitals and their families, our humanitarian and financial aid is most helpful and deeply appreciated. Due to the ravages of war, more and more aid is needed to help the victims of war. Needs are increasing, but funding is not. Many newly founded organizations are vying for funds. The UNWLA Social Welfare program is multifaceted, continuous, and conforms to the needs of the times. It is a story of success. We have provided and continue to provide medical supplies and warm clothing to wounded sol- diers and all war victims through our War Victims Fund. Wherever and whenever there is a Ukrainian in need, the UNWLA Social Welfare program is ready to help. I would like to thank the members of the Social Welfare Committee – Ivanka Olesnycky, Valentyna Tabaka, Bohdanna Yudina, and Irene D’Alesssio – for their willingness to serve on this com- mittee. I would like to express my very special thanks to Ivanka Olesnycky and Valentyna Tabaka for taking on responsibility for various important projects. Ivanka Olesnycky : 1. Liaison for Ukrainian Trauma Life Support training in Kyiv, Hospital no. 17 – UNWLA and Patriot Defence partnered. This was a first in civilian hospital training for caring for trauma victims. 2. Liaison in the action to support and welcome severely injured soldiers who were in army hospitals in Washington, DC, and San Antonio for treatment. Chrystia Kuzmowych and Oksana and Ko- ko Klufas were extremely generous and effective in their roles on behalf of the UNWLA. 3. Worked with NJ Regional President Ksenia Rakowsky to inform and inspire support, both financial and moral, from Branch 75 for Vadim Sviridenko, who was in Washington, DC, for treat- ment. The branch also adopted his family.
