We are a group of people who, having experienced life under Soviet control as children, are dedicating our efforts to helping the endless stream of Ukrainian war exiles. We are led by Dorota Applebaum, a real estate investment banker and investor who is entrepreneurial and has strong project management and execution skills. Despite many of us now settled across the world, we’re working together to raise funds from across the world. We’re organizing transport, logistics, housing, food, legal assistance and healthcare for refugees, as well as support for children to minimize disruption to their education. We’ve come together to try to offer back a slice of normality to those who have lost everything in the Russian invasion of a peaceful democracy.
We have no operating expenses; we donate our own time and resources and 100% of your contributions will go to helping Ukrainian families.
Hummingbird Effort Foundation was incorporated in Delaware on March 8, 2022 and assigned an EIN 88-1106591. An application was submitted to the IRS on March 11, 2022 for 501c3 status.

For the first time for many of us, we are witnessing the humanitarian cost that war has on people’s lives. We are experiencing the plight of the refugees first-hand, fleeing across the borders and into our own country. People just like us, pulled abruptly from their everyday lives and deprived of absolutely everything they once had: food for their families, clean clothes, warm beds, education, medical help. Innumerable people arriving with their newborns, their children, and their entire lives packed into one small backpack.
Seeing all of this has brought about an urgent call to action: in the name of humanity, civility, and solidarity towards others, as well as that of our own Western culture. An unquestionable desire to assist these refugees in beginning new, independent, and self-sufficient lives, in the safety of new countries. A belief that a powerful impact can be brought about through a shared collective effort.
