Ukrainian Women and Children

"My name is Sophie Surguladze and I have a fundraising project called GYST. Gyst stands with the Ukrainian people. The City of Goodness is a shelter in Ukraine that shelters displaced women, children, and the elderly. They are currently overfilled in capacity but refuse to turn away any family in need. In order to ship the received items and also donate for medical help of women and children, I need to raise 2,000."

"Masha was killed in the explosion. Masha loved to dance and was a Solo Star dancer. She was a very diligent and hardworking girl who competed in dance and was the President of her school. She was always kind to everyone, and loved and appreciated the people in her life. Unfortunately, she is not with them anymore. She was home when the missile hit. Her family is heartbroken. They lost their beloved child, their home, and all their possessions. They need your help and support. This tragedy occurred in Dnipro, Ukraine. Anything you can do to help will be very much appreciated. All funds will go to both families. Thank you so much from my heart."

#ClothesforUkraine

"My name is John Franklin Wilson, and I am starting a fundraiser to deliver winter clothes to people in need on the border between Poland and Ukraine in January. I am completely amazed and inspired by the assistance that I have already received in gathering the clothing from friends, relatives, colleagues, and friends of friends. When I arrive at the border, I will be working closely with members of UAid Direct to distribute the jackets and other supplies to their new owners."
