Help Ukrainian children receive art therapy! Art therapy helps children process and heal from the trauma they have endured over three years of war. We are supporting art therapists Nataliia Pavliuk and Yustyna Pavliuk (mother and daughter) in Lviv as they work with elementary school aged internally displaced children from Eastern Ukraine.

 

Since the start of the war, Nataliia and Yustyna have helped over 3,600 children by hosting painting sessions in hospitals, orphanages, and bomb shelters throughout the city. In 2023 they hosted an exhibit at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in Chicago which was covered by the New York Times and NPR The best way to help Nataliia and Yustyna continue to provide this lifesaving treatment is to help them replenish their art supplies.
