What does $77 mean to you? What value do you place on this amount? What can you buy with $77? Perhaps your new jacket cost $77? Maybe you paid $77 for lunch with your partner? Or maybe you spent $77 when you took your kids to an amusement park?
For more than 12,000,000 people, this is the cost of their normal life. $77 is the cost of a five-day psychological rehabilitation course that will allow millions of Ukrainians to return to a full life.
We’re talking about people who have seen war with their own eyes. People who have lost their homes, their loved ones
The problem of mental health in Ukraine has reached catastrophic proportions. As of the end of 2022, we’re talking about almost 12 million people. And being in a state of war, this number only grows. This statistic only includes the civilian population, not counting the military personnel who are currently defending their country. We’re talking about people who have seen war with their own eyes. People who have lost their homes, their loved ones. They’ve lost the ability to work and support their families. Many of them have been evacuated to calmer regions of Ukraine. Essentially, the problem of psychological health of the nation paralyzes the entire country as a whole. And it can paralyze it for many years.
Since 2005, the David Lynch Foundation has been promoting Transcendental Meditation worldwide (https://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/about-us.html). This is one of the most powerful and scientifically proven ways to combat stress. This technique has been known since 1958 and more than 400 scientific studies have been conducted to prove its effectiveness. It is particularly effective in dealing with severe stress and PTSD. A large number of programs are currently active in the United States and around the world. In cooperation with our office in Eastern Europe, based in Kyiv, Ukraine, we are launching a global fundraising program to assist the Ukrainian population.

Our specialists have developed a range of programs and successfully implemented them in the United States. Currently, a large number of trained teachers of Transcendental Meditation are working in Ukraine. Immediately after the start of the full-scale invasion, we responded promptly to the conflict. Starting from April 2022, we launched three humanitarian programs in Ukraine aimed at providing psychological support to civilians affected by the war, as well as to the soldiers who courageously defend their country against the aggressor.
Support the people of Ukraine, allow them to live a full life now, without waiting for the end of the war. Support our peaceful initiative
However, the scale of the tragedy is truly catastrophic. Our specialists are working in 15 regions of Ukraine on a permanent basis. In cooperation with the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and regional representatives of the Ministry of Health, we extrapolate all current programs and develop new ones. But for their implementation, we need financial resources. Therefore, we urge you to join our global initiative “77 dollars – the price of a peaceful life”. This is the cost of a full course of Transcendental Meditation training under our special program. Support the people of Ukraine, allow them to live a full life now, without waiting for the end of the war. Support our peaceful initiative.
