UNITED SIKHS Helps Sikh Family Escape Bombing in Kyiv

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, over 3 million residents were forced to flee their homes under dire conditions. Among them was Kulbir Singh, his wife, and their infant child, who faced unimaginable challenges during their escape from war-torn Kyiv.

Kulbir, who had been working as a support manager in Kyiv, was forced to flee when the city came under attack. His primary goal was to protect his family and find safety across the border in Poland. They faced freezing temperatures, scarce resources, and uncertainty of bombings, all while trying to reach safety.

After a treacherous journey and surviving on little more than candy bars, Kulbir and his family neared the Polish border. His hopes of finding support from fellow Sikhs came true when he spotted the Nishan Sahib at Camp Nalwa, set up by UNITED SIKHS. The volunteers quickly provided food and shelter for his wife and child. UNITED SIKHS also helped them secure an overnight stay in Medyka before they continued to Krakow.

Kulbir and his family safely reached Germany, where they found relief from the dangers of war. Grateful for the help of UNITED SIKHS, Kulbir expressed a desire to volunteer and help deliver supplies back into Ukraine. Now, as he plans his family’s future, he’s committed to giving back, just as UNITED SIKHS gave to him during his time of need.
