I am honored to have the opportunity to return to Ukraine. I look forward to working with my team to provide healthcare to those in need. I am deeply grateful to Global Care Force for awarding me a scholarship to serve in Ukraine. This opportunity allows me to be part of meaningful, life-saving work alongside an incredible organization.

There is great need all around.
We have been given so much.
Let’s go make a difference!
Ukraine today, elsewhere tomorrow.
Never gonna stop!

As a ‘kiwi’ nurse, being part of a Global Care Force volunteer team is a privilege and the pinnacle of my nursing career.

Volunteering is a tradition in my family, begun with my father’s almost 35 years of dedication to the Australian Red Cross and a tradition passed on through me to at least one of my adult children. My long nursing career in New Zealand and internationally has shown me a most effective way to demonstrate the depth of my respect for humanity by translating my feelings of compassion into the delivery of practical nursing care.

My endeavors will continue not only because of my deep commitment to humanity but also because of the support of those who share their generosity and benevolence. I look forward to returning to Ukraine in March 2026.

I am a primary care nurse practitioner and have spent the past 21 years working at a VA hospital. I have treated veteran patients from many different wars, managing physical and emotional problems. I have decided to volunteer with the Global Care Force to provide care to those impacted by war.

I am excited to return in March 2026! I love seeing the difference that trauma care and support make in addition to the medical services. Being of service in this way fills my heart. The war in Ukraine continues to have a devastating effect on everyone there — people who are simply trying to go about their daily lives. Witnessing the courage, resourcefulness, strength and compassion of both patients and teammates is humbling and powerful.

Returning to Ukraine to provide primary care to those in need. When I served with the Mobile Medical Team on my previous missions, I was impressed by the resiliency of the Ukrainians and the medical needs being met by Global Care Force. Many are displaced, others without running water and electricity in some villages, but they continue with their daily lives. I also learned much about their long and rich cultural history as an independent country. I am honored and thankful to return for my seventh time and use my skills to help support them in their time of need.

After volunteering in Warsaw two years ago and attending to displaced community members from eastern Ukraine who were housed in large warehouses, I had the opportunity to visit Bucha, Irpin, and Kyiv. Anyone so privileged to share those two experiences with Ukrainians would come home already trying to find a way to return. I am humbled to return to Ukraine with Global Care Force.

I have had a vested interest in helping the people of Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022. I have been fortunate to travel and help refugees in Belgium, Romania, and at home in the US. Having Polish ancestry, I felt a strong pull to help ‘my slavic cousins’ and although my contribution may be small, I felt the need to do what I can to help.

I am excited to return to Ukraine in April 2026. On my previous trip I was impressed by the resilience of the Ukrainian people as well as the value of all the medical needs being provided by Global Care Force. I am honored to help those who have been displaced by the war and now lack access to basic medical care.

As a nurse, I am passionate about providing quality care to people in need. Witnessing the current events in Ukraine breaks my heart for the people there, so after learning about GCF and their work to help bring needed medical services to the Ukrainian people, I was eager to get involved. I look forward to returning to serve the people of Ukraine through my professional skills as a registered nurse. I am grateful for the opportunity to use what I love to aid those in need.

I’ve always told my kids to treat others well and have no regrets about what you should have done. I am at the stage in my career where I feel I need to do more than sit on the sidelines and watch what is happening in Ukraine. I knew if I didn’t do something now and take this opportunity to serve, I would regret it. That’s why I continue to volunteer with the Mobile Medical Team. I am deeply grateful to Global Care Force for awarding me a scholarship to serve in Ukraine. This opportunity allows me to be part of meaningful, life-saving work alongside an incredible organization. If you would like to support Global Care Force by donating to their general fund, I would be truly appreciative. They are doing amazing work, and I am thankful for the chance to serve through them.

I wanted to volunteer because I have always been a protector, that is why I will serve Ukraine with the Mobile Medical Team in April. I have felt it my duty to help those who cannot help themselves or just need someone to lend them a caring hand. We should always be willing to offer our skills to those who need it most. I am deeply grateful to Global Care Force for awarding me a scholarship to serve in Ukraine. This opportunity allows me to be part of meaningful, life-saving work alongside an incredible organization. If you would like to support Global Care Force by donating to their general fund, I would be truly appreciative. They are doing amazing work, and I am thankful for the chance to serve through them.

I am very excited about the opportunity to volunteer in Ukraine and to serve people who have been deeply affected by the ongoing conflict. I feel called to help with compassion and humility, following the example of Jesus and the way He served others during His time on earth. As a medical student, I hope to use my skills and training to support the Ukrainian people, offering care, comfort, and practical assistance during this challenging season. I am grateful to Global Care Force for awarding me a scholarship to serve in Ukraine. This opportunity allows me to be part of meaningful, life-saving work alongside an incredible organization. If you would like to support Global Care Force by donating to their general fund, I would be truly appreciative. They are doing amazing work, and I am thankful for the chance to serve through them.

I want to volunteer with Global Care Force because the main reason I moved to Ukraine is that the people here have real problems. They need doctors and good care. I also have a good medical experience from the military, and I want to be useful to this country not only when I graduate in a few years. It’s difficult for me to stay in my nice apartment and do nothing else to help than just study. Being a volunteer with you will also be a good medical experience for me as a student that is not related to the army. I am deeply grateful to Global Care Force for awarding me a scholarship to serve in Ukraine. This opportunity allows me to be part of meaningful, life-saving work alongside an incredible organization.

I’ve been a medical volunteer at the age of 26. After my first mission it became part of my DNA. I’ve worked all over the world except in Europe. My wife is part Ukrainian and I’m Hungarian and polish. I work with a few Ukrainian nurses and see how hard working and passionate they are if the current situation and I feel a sense of community with them.

I am looking forward to returning to Ukraine with GCF in May to provide care for the wonderful Ukrainian people who have been victims of an unjustified invasion. Seeing the stoic faces, hearing the stories, experiencing smiles, hugs, and tears is beyond description. Especially now, the Ukrainian people need to know that there are Americans who care about them as fellow human beings.

From the moment I learned about the immense suffering and desperation of refugees fleeing Sudan’s ongoing conflicts, I felt a deep-seated desire to help alleviate some of that pain. With a background in mental health and trauma-informed services, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to join one of Global Care Force’s dedicated Primary Care Teams. In March, we will be traveling to Egypt to provide care for the refugees there. I consider it a privilege to serve and hope to make even a small difference in their lives.

As the people of Ukraine continue to endure, suffer, and resist the Russian invasion, I remain committed to providing humanitarian aid there. My first time there in February 2023 was intense and hard but rewarding. I felt my humble contribution towards caring for our patients to my core. I wished I could have stayed longer or done more, so I returned to serve in October 2023. The bond I made with the other volunteers lifted my spirit, so I returned in September 2025 and am ready to serve once more in July 2026.

Providers working with Global Care Force have sometimes described the experience as transformative. For us, as retired physicians, our experiences in Ukraine, Jordan, and the Southern Border with GCF have allowed us to renew the ideals of service that launched our careers as physicians. While volunteering, we are entrusted with a message of hope as well as the opportunity to utilize our medical skills in providing compassionate care to patients who humble us with their patience and resilience. We have appreciated the camaraderie of the GCF groups and are excited to return to Ukraine to work with our Ukrainian colleagues and translators in the well-organized mission of GCF.

Ann and I have served with Global Care Force’s mobile medical teams in Ukraine many times over the past few years. We are excited to return in July. It will be our 5th and 4th trips to work with our Ukrainian friends in the clinics. Many of the villages where we serve were devastated by Russian soldiers and left residents traumatized. The clinics are the only source of primary care and free medicines for civilians in these locations. The faith, courage, and resilience of the Ukrainian people is inspiring and the ability to serve in this area of need is a blessing.

I am excited to return to Ukraine for the fourth time in August. I’ve been honored to meet and work with some amazing people. I enjoy learning more about the Ukrainian people each trip I am a part of. I am impressed by how the clinics are organized and the resolve of the people that we meet. The team in Ukraine have become like family and I am thankful for each experience that I have to serve alongside them.

I became a nurse because I have a heart for caring for those in need. It’s hard to sit on the sidelines and watch what is happening in Ukraine. I volunteered in 2022 and 2024 with the Mobile Medical Team because I wanted to help in any way I could. The need continues, so I will return to serve again in September. I urge you to please consider supporting me and future volunteers serving in Ukraine.

After having worked with Ukrainian refugees at RCTV Memoria in Moldova, it was clear how many of them required not just help with housing but also medical and mental health treatments. The Mobile Medical Teams through Global Care Force allows me to be on the ground in Ukraine, where the need is the highest, helping those who cannot escape the ongoing war. So much assistance is needed, so I will return to volunteer for a third time in September. I’m excited to be part of the solution.

I have always felt called to help those in need through my career as the Senior Chief Medical Officer at an international relief organization, my church, and in my personal life. I see people in the Ukraine suffering due to the Russian invasion and I feel called to help. With my military background, I feel that I am one of the most appropriate ones to help. Returning to Ukraine with Global Care Force is an honor.

I want to go to Ukraine as it has always been a dream of mine to deploy to countries in need of medical help to provide aid. I have long envisioned the day I get to make people in these situations smile and feel hopeful in a situation that is otherwise dreadful. Going not only feels like the right thing to do, but also the necessary thing to do. If I am able to help, why would I not?

I have been seeing the suffering of Ukraine people on TV due to Russian invasion for almost four years, I feel compelled to help them by any possible way, I like to let them know they are not forgotten. Through Global Care Force, I can help them in villages and/or townships with associates of this organization.
