World Blind Union Ukrainian Unity Fund
On March 20, 2022, the World Blind Union announced the establishment of the Ukrainian Unity Fund.
Donate now to this campaign through the National Federation of the Blind.
Background
Many in the Federation family have been asking if there is something we can do specifically to help blind people impacted by the horrific invasion happening in Ukraine. We have connected with the World Blind Union and our friends in the global community of blind people and have identified an important effort we intend to support. If you are a blind person who has been displaced from Ukraine, please reach out to our general information email, and we will attempt to connect you with available resources. While our organization operates in the United States, we want to use our extensive network of love and support at this important time.
