About Chance 4 Kids

A program of Orlyk.org founded in July 2022 to help Children AND Firefighters in Ukraine.  My name is Tim Lambrecht.  I am a licensed Minnesota Firefighter that lived in Ukraine for months, at the start of the war, to help orphanages, hospitals and firefighters.  We continue to deliver and support the Ukrainian community through this never-ending, difficult time. Please help us help them……

Our Story and Heart

Chance 4 Kids was created in 2022 to respond with compassion when children and families face fear, displacement, and uncertainty. Hospitals need supplies, and firefighters are fighting fires with HOLES in their gear. We focus on practical help, trusted support, and a message that every Ukrainian deserves safety, dignity, and care.
