Military Children's Six Foundation (MC6) will fly to eastern Europe on June 1, 2022, with a small humanitarian team to help out the millions of Ukrainian refugees fleeing to Poland to find shelter and safe harbor., Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Slovak Republic, and other parts of the world. 

This Humanitarian - Mission of Hope is being led by Colonel Adrienne Schaffer Esq. (Ret. USA), Executive Director, and Founder of the Military Children's Six Foundation. She has served over three decades of military service, and over three decades as a child advocate attorney, advocating for the rights of children. 

We don’t want to just throw resources at the problem. “Our team really wants to identify what are the specific needs of the people on the ground and try to resource and fill those needs through our mobile teams and establish hubs that address the delivery of emergency health supplies, hygiene kits, legal aid, mental health, and psychological support. Through local partnerships and strategic alliances with local community organizations, to include faith-based organizations, and others, we're able to deliver much-needed resources directly to those impacted.

MC6 humanitarian response team will be deployed on June 1, 2022, to the region to assess needs, aid, and coordinate closely with the United Nations, Local NGOs, and other stakeholders. 

Our team will establish mobile medical teams and delivering emergency health supplies and medicine to public health care centers, enabling continued primary health services, trauma care, and vaccinations where needed. In collective shelters our teams will be coordinating with local organizations to establish hubs in areas hardest to reach for the distributing of blankets, water containers, and hygiene kits containing soap, toothpaste, diapers, and toilet paper to help thousands of internally displaced persons and mitigate the spread of disease. Mobile teams are also providing psychological support, ensuring especially vulnerable populations have access to services and are protected from risks, including gender-based violence, child-trafficking, and landmines.

Your support will enable us to launch cash programs that provide refugees with temporary assistance for food, accommodations, and medical care until they can work or receive social support.





Military Children's Six Foundation Mission of Hope

Military Children's Six Foundation is a 501 (C)(3) organization based in Washington, DC. It received its nonprofit status in 2019.

Military Children's Six Foundation (MC6) is a 501 (C)(3) child-centric advocacy and humanitarian organization based in Washington, DC. Our advocacy works to ensure that children’s rights are considered in government laws, policies, budgets, communities, and programs.  

Military Children's Six Foundation Executive Director, and Founder is Colonel Adrienne Schaffer Esq., (Ret. USA), who has spent over three decades of military service and over three decades as an attorney representing the rights of children.

An independent advocate, such as through the office of the ombudsman for children or a child rights-focused non-governmental organization, like the Military Children's Six Foundation serves to represent the best interests of children and youth, independently of political structures.

The definition of a Military Child extends beyond what has been a commonly accepted understanding as children of currently or previously serving members of the military, which includes Active Duty, Reservists, the National Guard, and Veterans World-Wide.

Today, the definition of the Military Child has been expanded by the Military Children's Six Foundation to include the children of Men and Women (Civilians) who have been forced to take up arms in military conflicts, whether in war, a military invasion, or a special military operation in defense of their country's sovereignty, liberty, and quality of life. 

MC6 Humanitarian Team (MHT) believes that the infliction of war and military aggression upon children must be considered a violation of their basic human rights and can have a persistent impact on their physical and mental health and well-being, with long-term consequences for their development. The experiences that children have to endure during and as consequence of war are in harsh contrast to their developmental needs and their right to grow up in a physically and emotionally safe and predictable environment. 

Mental health and psychosocial interventions for war-affected children should be multileveled, specifically targeted towards the child's needs, trauma-informed, and strength and resilience oriented. Our Mobile Team 2 (MT2) provides psychological support which provides immediate supportive interventions that focus on providing basic physical and emotional resources and care to children to help them regain both external safety and inner security. More below.

Our Humanitarian Mobile Teams
Mobile Medical Team 1 (MMT1) looks to deliver emergency health supplies, provide trauma care and where possible vaccinations. 

Mobile Team 2 (MM2) looks to provide Psychological Support. 

Mobile Protection Team 3 (MPT3) looks to prevent family separation, mitigate gender-based violence, communicate the risk of mines and war remnants and address psychological effects of war.

Obviously, supporting children also entails enabling and supporting parents in the care for their children, as well as providing post-migration infrastructures and social environments that foster mental health. Given the recent events in Ukraine with millions on the flight we are dispatching teams to Poland, and we would like your support. We will continue to advocate for the increased mental health needs of children in the actual situation. War does not only affect those children directly exposed, but also those indirectly impacted through mass media bringing the pictures of war into their homes. Children cannot protect themselves against the themes addressed in the news and omnipresent pictures of war on televisions, in newspapers and on social media. Perceived anxiety of war in parents might lead to a loss of sense of security and enhanced anxiety in children.

Your support is "Your Voice That Matters." We don’t want to just throw resources at the problem. “Our team really wants to identify what are the specific needs of the people on the ground and try to resource and fill those needs.” We partner with local community organizations, faith-based organizations to ensure resources are targeted and reaching those in need. Partner with the Military Children’s Six Foundation.
