134 ХХ Х І I Конвенція СУА The Mary Beck Fund , since September 2011, has supported a burn victims’ projec t supported by Dr. Fuzaylov from Boston with Doctors Collaborating HC. Dr. Fuzaylov is noted for saying “If you can make a difference in the life of another person, it’s something big.” ( Our Life , October 2012). He has worked with his Lviv counterparts in Hospital #8 sharing the newest techniques related to pediatric burn surgery. This year, it had been anticipated that treatment would be offered in a hospital in Dnipro, but plans were pre - empted due to the COVID - 19 pandemic. Approximately $10,000 a year wa s designated to the transportation needs from Boston to Lviv of medicines and equipment for this project. The Prostir Nadii program at the Mental Health Institute at the Ukrainian Catholic University was established in 2016 with a UNWLA contribution of $1 00,000 and another $10,000 annually for four years. The goal directed at Prostir Nadii was to help soldiers and their families with treatment of PTSD. The UNWLA requested that all victims of war be treated without charge. Also, the program has provided tra ining for mental health professionals from many regions in Ukraine, published articles, and translated professional training journal articles into Ukrainian. Dr. Oleh Romanchuk, psychiatrist and director of the Mental Health Institute has recently offered “10 Strategies to Help Us Deal with the Challenges of Today’s Pandemic” published as an article in Our Life in May 2020. Support Hospitals in Ukraine partnered with UNWLA to bring a 40 - foot shipping container of equipment to Lviv and Zhytomyr children’s ho spitals. Equipment included monitors, ultrasound and EKG supplies, and surgical instruments, donated from Project Cure. UNWLA support amounted to $23,000 for the shipping. UNWLA established Spiritual Rebirth of Ukraine , which includes two educational insti tutions: the Kyiv Three Saints Theological Seminary of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Volyn Ukrainian Orthodox Theological Academy. Key is the education of seminarians in their roles as priests and spiritual leaders and their message of peace and good will at this time of war and unrest in Ukraine. Seminarians who are supported with UNWLA funds are those who plan to serve in eastern Ukraine. UNWLA participated in the Shevchenko Scientific Society Scholarship Program in which students from Ukra ine responded to the theme “From Dream to Action: Why I Need the Scholarship from the Shevchenko Scientific Society in the USA.” UNWLA had an active role in choosing the ten recipients from a field of 70 applicants, and supported the ten finalists at $2,00 0 each for a total of $20,000. UNWLA was represented at the donor celebration in September 2019. Major Fundraising Projects During my term, three special major fundraising projects were undertaken to respond to unique circumstances. Late in 2018, the UNWLA appealed to its members to support those living in the Sea of Azov area that had been blockaded after Russian forces attac ked three Ukrainian ships, taking Ukrainian sailors into custody. Branches responded. Our guide from my trip to eastern Ukraine, Sergei Skala, led the effort to identify children and families in the Mariupol and Berdyansk areas and distributed $5,000 of ai d to those in need. In 2020, Feeding the Hungry, UNWLA for USA was initiated by UNWLA as a response to the COVID - 19 pandemic that affected families both in terms of health and economically. UNWLA Executive Committee pledged to match donations up to $10,000 . Feeding America was chosen as the organization to which UNWLA funds would be provided. Feeding America is a national service that works with food banks and food pantries throughout the United States. An important fact in choosing this organization was th at Charity Navigator - a charity assessment organization that evaluates charitable organizations in the United States gives Feeding America an overall very high score of 94.3. UNWLA branches and individual members raised and donated $21,410. With the $10,0 00 match, $31,410 was donated to Feeding America. UNWLA primary purpose is to provide humanitarian aid to Ukrainians living abroad, however, during this year of crisis, we felt strongly about contributing to those in need in America because this is our hom e. In June 2020, when Western Ukraine was devastated by heavy rains and floods, UNWLA called its members to action and contribute to the Flooding in Ukraine Project . Thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed. According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, hundreds of people were
