We are based in Hamilton near Toronto, Canada, and certainly you would be hard-pressed to find a person here whose lives have not been impacted by people with Ukrainian roots, whether they are co-workers, friends, neighbours, godmothers (as in my case), and so the current invasion is really strongly felt.
We have created a special T-shirt and hoodie and will donate a portion of the proceeds to DonateUkraine.com. In fact, for the next few weeks, we will be doing that for any purchase from our merch store. We also encourage you to give directly.
FROM THEIR WEBSITE: Ukraine: A population of 44 million. 14,000 dead in the ongoing conflict. Over 3,000 civilians were killed. Over 3 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance and evacuation due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Help us provide them with the means to survive.
2022 Russian Invasion: Over 130,000 Russian troops have encircled Ukraine creating the possibility of the largest humanitarian crisis since WWII. The NY Times is reporting the possibility of up to 50,000 dead and a refugee crisis in the heart of Europe.
Donations to Donate Ukraine will support humanitarian assistance in impacted communities in Ukraine and surrounding regions where Ukrainian refugees have fled. Our mission is to prepare and provide housing assistance to displaced citizens during the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. We work with local NGOs and organizations in the United States to stabilize displaced families. We do not have a political agenda and do not provide lethal aid.
We all hope for the best in these grim times.
