Between the two Petrykivka classes that we held with artcoreacademy we raised $1310 for Ukrainian defenders. More than that, we nourished interest in Ukraine’s contribution to UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural heritage of humanity and creativity of all those who attended . We thank you! And look out for more similar workshops soon.
Back in 2023, with the help of many amazing people, we organized a Concert for Ukraine at the First Congregational Church Downtown. We raised nearly $30,000, which went to Frontline Medical Ukraine, a fund established by General Arnold.⠀Today, we want to share more about General Arnold’s fund and the significant impact he’s making in Ukraine.General Arnold is raising funds to support the education and operations of medics and first-line critical care providers in the country.⠀Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, over half of Ukrainians who have died from their injuries could have been saved, and over 70% of limb amputations could have been avoided if medics had received medical supplies and comprehensive training in their skills. (Therefore, when we say that your donations for tourniquets save lives, we mean it‼️)⠀Since the start of the full-scale invasion, General Arnold’s fund has focused on providing medical supplies and combat medical training equipment. His fund has been able to provide more than 30 classroom sets worth millions of dollars as well as trucks and trailers for the mobile instruction team.General Arnold has traveled approximately 3,000 miles across Ukraine, visiting training locations. He noted that the Ukrainians responsible for managing and executing this program exceeded his expectations. 🙌⠀Words cannot fully express our gratitude to General Arnold and those like him who are dedicated to saving lives and supporting Ukraine.⠀Each of us in one or another way can help Ukraine. Your support is critical and can change history.

Організатори підкреслюють, що головною метою є єднання навколо мови, а не перевірка грамотності. ✍️📝
