Your family art helping families in need
This story is deeply personal. Yet, for once, I am ready to lift the veil of my own family privacy…
My dear Dad, a 76-year-old man from Kyiv, at the beginning of March, bravely crossed a bridge across Dnepr on foot (!!!), in his slow steps, with only a small backpack that contained nothing but a toothbrush and an extra sweater to protect him from the freezing wintery winds. Due to the continuous Russian shelling of the city, all forms of transportation across the river were prohibited. My father was blessed to be among the last ones to cross this bridge; the following day it was blown up by the Ukrainian army as a preventive measure to slow down the invaders…
Another crossing – the Ukrainian border – on foot, again, leaving his homeland, his heart, his life’s work behind…
4 countries, 4 methods of transportation. 4 children in US, going insane with worry over hundreds of dangers…
I am not here to describe the tears we shed the moment he finally entered my home in NJ. How much I wish this story ended here… but after all the trouble we all went through, my father ended up returning back to Ukraine to face the difficulties along with his countrymen. His desire to contribute to their resilience in the on-going struggle – with his people overcame the comforts and safety we wished to share with him.
I am here to come to an aid for those who were not as fortunate as us here, who are still in danger of being brutally murdered, starved, or…
… who could tremendously benefit from any act of kindness our hearts can share.
Direct Help For Ukraine, featured on CNN, is a grassroots, volunteer effort dedicated to helping the crisis faced by Ukrainian families. 100% of your donation is going straight into the hands of those in need.
The lists of supplies are forwarded to us from Ukraine, updated on the daily basis, packaged by our closest friends here on the East Coast, distributed by the volunteers that we know and and trust to the families, hospitals, and defense units.
