For All Who Love Foundation and Milkshake in action for Ukraine

Currently, at the border of Ukraine and Poland, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ refugees are being continuously pushed to the back of the queue and not able to board trains to get to safety. For All Who Love Foundation and Milkshake Festival are acting now and have a group of 8 volunteers that are driving from the Netherlands to the border of Ukraine and Poland on Monday the 7th of March where they will be picking up refugees from the queer BIPOC community. The volunteers will then be taking them to a safe location where they will be able to get much-needed help.

The money raised through our crowdfunding will go directly pay for the vans and fuel used for transport, expenses of the volunteers as well as 200 care packages for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ refugees. Any proceeds that remain after the operation will be donated to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ charities on the ground and to support the groups once they reach safety.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR AFTERCARE

We are looking for volunteers who are able to help with aftercare and life beyond housing for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ families fleeing Ukraine. Volunteers would be assigned to a particular family or group to help them settle in during their first weeks in their new location or days if they have onward travel plans.

Volunteers would act as a point of contact for the family/group and would forward any needs to other sources where necessary.
 

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP

Home away from home

Provide addresses that are extremely queer-friendly for refugees to stay in for a number of days or weeks. 

Queer companion

Be available for a couple of social visits per week and be a point of contact for personal support.

Contact buddy

To be a contact point between the families/groups and specific donations teams and organisations e.g sending information and addresses to provide donations e.g clothing needs/sizes and free meal charities and helping out with official government documents and translations.

To volunteer to help with one of the mentioned categories please reach out to For All Who Love Foundation through direct message on their Instagram account or send an email to dolly@dolhouse.nl for our Milkshake Team to make arrangements.

We are incredibly grateful for all of your messages to volunteer for aftercare and housing for BIPOC + LGBTQIA+ refugees from Ukraine. We now have enough volunteers to support everyone that will be arriving in the Netherlands with our volunteers and we will continue to update you on their journey.
