Displaced Ukrainian kids and families need you.
Russia's long war on Ukraine has been cruel, driving moms and kids from their homes while dads stay behind to fight. Some argue that the unimaginable affects of this war—terror, suffering and loss -- is falling hardest on Ukraine's precious children. The heavy toll won’t likely be fully understood for years.
URGENT: oRphanage In Need
The number of children entering orphanages in Western Ukraine is growing exponentially. One orphanage with which we've worked has seen its population explode from just over 100 in 2022 to more than 500 in 2024. While some of the kids have lost parents to the war, others are there because moms are unable to provide for their family's basic needs.
The orphanage is now in dire need of personal care items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, soap, shampoo , deodorant, washcloths and flip flops --and SeaStar Kids is striving to provide them with up to 500 care packs.
If you're interested in helping, please consider making a contribution by clicking on the "Help Our Kids" button, below. A donation of just $20 will cover the cost of a full personal care pack. (Healing Hands International has graciously offered to deliver the packs to Ukraine.)
Thank you for supporting our kids!

SEASTAR KIDS MOURNS DEVOTED BOARD MEMBER
DANIEL "DANNY" GENTRY JACKSON
Known to many in Nashville, Tennessee as their favorite "Santa Claus" during the Holiday season, Danny Jackson was equally beloved by those who served with him on the SeaStar Kids Board of Directors. Danny was tireless in his devotion to the children of Ukraine and was a leader in humanitarian aid efforts since the beginning of the war. Danny's life of service also extended to the US Military where he served in the Army National Guard and Coast Guard Reserve, and to the Civitan International organization where he was a past International President. Danny is survived by his loving wife Corine (also a SeaStar Kids member of the Board), daughter Carrie Jackson (James) Young, and granddaughter Alana Ruth Young. Danny was "one of a kid" and will be missed.
