My Ukrainian Brothers

Hello friends & Familys :)

As most of you know, I have been overseas in Ukraine for the past 3 weeks, supporting in ways that I never thought possible. Not only was this a life-changing experience for me, but it has opened a newfound love and passion to continue helping in different ways... even if I am a world away now.

I created this Gofundme to help support three AMAZING individuals (Mike, Stan, Bohdan) whom I had the pleasure of working with while in Ukraine. They were our interpreters and helped us not only navigate our way through by being our translators but also showed me what true unity looks like. If it wasn’t for them, I do not believe we would have been as successful. I wish I had the right words to share how grateful I am for them.

All 3 of them have such amazing stories about how they have been helping support Ukraine if it's donating every penny they have been earning since the war broke out; spending money on supplies to build up donations to send to the military out east; to helping refugees who have fled from the East…They themselves have been affected in ways that I can’t even begin to describe, and yet they work every day to continue to help serve their own community.

American dollars go a long way in Ukrainian hryvnia... for example:

$2,500 = ₴ 75,616.85 (think of it as 5 months’ worth of work for them)

This allows for even the smallest donation to be worth so much to them.

If you want to help donate another way, this is my great friend Mykhailo (mike) personal Paypal account where he has been receiving donations and then goes and distributes them out:

Attached are several pictures of the items they have been donating.

Thank you so so much for even taking the time to read over this. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns!

Xoxo,
