PWRDF

PWRDF Supports Ukrainians with Disabilities

As Russian attacks continue in Ukraine, the challenges increase for people with disabilities. For a person with mobility issues navigating through the rubble, or someone who is visually impaired and no longer in familiar surroundings, daily life becomes even more complicated.

PWRDF is supporting the advocacy group Fight for Right (FFR) with a $64,000 grant to improve health and safety for people with disabilities.

Funds from PWRDF will support a 24-hour hotline that Fight for Right (FFR) has set up to handle requests from people with disabilities and their caregivers. Its staff are helping Ukrainians with disabilities make a safe evacuation and get the medical supplies and support they need, including assistive technologies (wheelchairs, white canes, and hearing devices). The hotline is also responding to requests for financial help, accommodations, and food, water, and basic goods for daily living such as hygiene kits, personal care items, and special dietary needs.
