We refuse to let Ukrainian refugees die alone in a foreign land. Our dedicated Ukrainian volunteers provide palliative companionship, native-language comfort, and emotional support to terminally ill refugees in Polish hospitals, ensuring their final moments are filled with dignity and peace.
Imagine fleeing war, losing your home, and then facing a terminal illness in a foreign country. In Polish hospitals and hospices, elderly Ukrainian refugees often lie in palliative wards entirely alone. Terrified and unable to understand the medical staff due to the language barrier, they face their final moments in profound isolation. They have survived the trauma of war, only to face the ultimate tragedy: dying alone, stripped of their home, their families, and their dignity.
The "Ostatnia Warta" (Last Watch) Foundation deploys dedicated Ukrainian volunteers to stand by their side. "We won't let them die alone, far from their homeland." Our volunteers hold their hands, speak to them in their native language, sing familiar songs, and bring them traditional comfort food. This project funds 24/7 transport for our volunteers to reach patients in need, provides culturally familiar "comfort kits," and secures crucial, trauma-informed psychological supervision to protect ou
By supporting this project, you guarantee that no Ukrainian refugee in our care passes away feeling abandoned. You are funding a bridge of empathy that allows terminally ill seniors to pass with dignity, hearing the language of their home. Furthermore, you are psychologically protecting and empowering our incredible refugee volunteers, ensuring they have the strength to continue their heartbreaking but beautiful mission.
