Hope For Ukraine

My legal name is Mary Spencer. My true name is Maria Sabolotnyi, a first-generation Ukrainian filled with incredible regret at the heritage I have lost at the age of 68. I should have endured my personal challenges to protect that which I truly love more than almost anything on earth—my Ukrainian heritage.

Now, I have lost contact with the scores of family members who lived in the vicinity of Lviv when this atrocious war broke out. I have no idea how many have survived, where they are, or how they are doing. There is not even postal service available in Ukraine. There is no hope for me to help that precious commodity in life—my family. But . . . I can put my energies into helping those most in need by helping Hope for Ukraine. It has a stellar reputation, virtually all donations go into helping victims rather than administration, and its main focus is the most basic of needs of these victims of war.

I cannot help my family by “blood” but I can make a heartfelt appeal to help my wider family. No donation is too small. I live on my Social Security pension and so cannot offer a substantial amount myself, but I can do this to spread word of the need.

My name is Hayden, I'm nine years old, and I want to help change the world.

Last year, I took a trip to Romania and spent a few days at an orphanage for children who had lost their parents to the war. What I saw there opened my eyes to some of the big problems in the world. I saw kids who were living in poverty, far away from home, who couldn't escape their dire circumstances.

Now, I'm taking an entrepreneurship class to learn about earning money, and I decided I wanted to use my new skills to help other people, so I started Blue Lemonade, a lemonade stand dedicated to raising money for kids in the Ukraine.

I would love your help in supporting the families in the Ukraine, and am grateful to you for reading this!

From Dr. Julie Master and Roman Master:
Our hearts are breaking for more than 4.3 million Ukrainian children who have been displaced because of the attack on Ukraine. This includes more than 1.8 million who have fled with their mothers to other countries, where there is limited access to schools and essential supplies. This horrific war has severely threatened their education and well-being. We felt the need to help with a concert to raise money and awareness. We also thought it was important to show the kids of NJ they can help too.

PlushieAid is raising money for the non-profit HOPE FOR UKRAINE.

 

Dearest Plushies:  Please join us in helping the inspiring 501c(3) charity called “Hope For Ukraine,” whose volunteers are working tirelessly to bring humanitarian aid to Ukrainian citizens in desperate need of help.

Hope for Ukraine uses your donation money to purchase food both in Poland and the USA, and to then transport that food to people who need it inside Ukraine.  They also distribute donated clothing to internally displaced citizens, as well as food and medical supplies to frontline soldiers.  In addition, Hope for Ukraine operates two shelters in Lviv, providing refugees with food, medical attention, and daycare for children.

Hope for Ukraine is an extremely effective organization, capable of providing food for 1 person for a whole month for just $50!  That said, their financial needs continue to increase, while donations have begun to decrease.

In addition to this GoFundMe Campaign, PlushieAid has created the @PlushieAidMarket where you can find cute new things almost every day, that generous plushies in our community will send to you at their own expense, in exchange for your donation to Hope for Ukraine!  Please check it out, follow the page, and tell your friends!

You can find more information about this PlushieAid fundraiser, as well as the PlushieAidMarket and Hope for Ukraine, on our Instagram pages:  PlushieAid and PlushieAidMarket  !

I selected Hope for Ukraine because they scored 90/100 on Charity Navigator and have a presence helping the most impoverished Ukrainians over the past 8 years. Below is their own description of their work.

The assault on Ukraine by Russia is barbaric and entirely unjustified. It is time for the first world to move beyond this type of aggression, but for now, we must support the victims of this atrocity. We shopped carefully for a responsible NGO organization that is addressing the fundamental needs of the Ukrainian people and chose Hope for Ukraine. They are small but impactful and have years of ground-level experience performing charitable work in the country. Join us in supporting this worthy cause.
