And my Ukrainian family affected by the war
After running for 2 months my family finally got to Canada.
My whole life is now changed.
I support my 8 family members.
But I can't do this alone.
If you wish to help someone affected by the brutal war in Ukraine - my family is in a very real need.
They lost everything in a matter of days.
Their normal life is gone.
I have 4 children and 4 adults to feed and clothe.
Now its up to me to take care of them.
If you wish to contribute in any way - my family is a very real way to help.

For many years living in Canada as an immigrant I have been made fun of. I am sorry and sad that it took a whole war in order for people to realize that it's Ukraine and not the Ukraine.
That Ukraine is not part of russia.
One of the ways to contribute and support Ukrainians is by getting to know their culture and history. Acknowledging them as an independent country.
Below are some books in English for you to read.
Education is also a weapon.
Education can bring a better generation of people.
