Here are four things you can do right now:

1️⃣ Donate at ADRA.org/helpnow
During emergencies, the number one way you can support ADRA International and our humanitarians on the ground is through your donations. Monetary donations allow our team in Ukraine to respond immediately to the specific needs of each community.

2️⃣ Gather in prayer
Matthew 18:20 tells us: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” We know that there is power and comfort in prayer. We encourage you to attend one of the many vigils being held for the millions who are affected by the crisis in Ukraine, or to start one of your own!

3️⃣ Stay informed
Staying informed is important during times of humanitarian crises. Whether through verified and trustworthy social media channels, digital news, newspapers or your favorite news channel on TV, make sure you tune in to a reliable news source.

4️⃣ Take a break
We are all living through very stressful times and it can be difficult to escape the constant barrage of bad news. It's important to find the balance between staying informed and caring for your mental health! Be sure to take a regular break from the news and even your social media.
