We wanted to start off by saying a huge thank you for the incredible support and donations we have received so far! With special shout outs to the Laltex Group, United brands (and Naomi Scott), The Sweet People, Oldeani, Desktop Ideas and Hype branding!!

We have been sending vans weekly directly into Ukraine to a town called Chernivtsi sending aid for displaced people, children and soldiers.

 

Chernivtsi sits very close to the Moldovian and Romanian borders and over the past 2 weeks, approximately 40,000 evacuees have fled there, many of which have arrived with just a carrier bag of their worldly belongings.

 

Along with sorting donations, purchasing essentials, money collecting, loading and unloading vans, and logistically planning where exactly what aid is needed on each given day our amazing volunteers have been busy making up emergency packs with the basics, that are currently being distributed to as many people as we can possibly reach in Chernivtsi and its surrounding villages.
