    Story

    WHO

    The war in Ukraine has ripped apart communities in villages and towns all over the country. Buildings have been destroyed, homes raised to the ground, schools shut, jobs lost, food shortages and 1000’s killed or injured.

    In every corner of Ukraine, there are families and children who no longer have homes. They have no income and they have no food.

    Like Iliav who is 10 years old and from Mariupol. As his home was bombarded by the Russians, his mother did what ever she could to protect her son from danger. She died while hugging him trying to protect him from shrapnel. It was 2 days before Iliav was dug out from the rubble, his dead mother still hugging him.

    Iliav now lives in Kyiv with his grandmother. He has life changing injuries to his legs and he has lost everything. Tragically, he is not alone in his circumstances.

    Food and communities offer stability to the Ukrainians and even though the war will end and life will resume. Right now, food and communities are scarce.

    WHAT

    We want to help boys like Iliav and families in the worst hit areas of Ukraine. To provide food for them and to help rebuild that all important local community.

    We are setting up 6 community kitchens in 6 villages and towns in Eastern Ukraine. We will sponsor a local family in each location to run the kitchen and prepare food for the communities they live in.

    We have secured food donations, equipment and locations. The money raised will be used to repair / restore and set up the locations ready to cook and serve the communities.

    Once the kitchens are set up and running, the administration of the kitchens will be handed over to a Ukrainian NGO called www.dobro.ua

    The project will be filmed and a 6 part TV program produced to raise more funds for Ukraine.

    WHY

    Upon hearing about the Russian invasion in Ukraine, I, as a director of Parson's Nose felt compelled to do something to help, no matter how small it would be, I had to do something.

    My background is actually in media and in particular, directing food TV. I'm not a solider or a politician, nor a doctor or an aid worker.

    The only thing that I could immediately think of was to make a TV program to raise awareness and raise money for Ukraine.

    I have always known that food creates very strong personal emotions in good times and bad. Telling that story was going to be my way of helping.

    So I funded a trip personally and I set off for Ukraine to film and produce a documentary about the 'emotions of food in good times and bad'. The trailer is below.

    The film will be completed by the end of June and the hope is to have it broadcast on as many global channels as possible and to raise as much money as I could for Ukraine.

    Moving forward, I need to do more to help. Seeing Ukraine and the devastation first hand has led me onto this project and I shall be heading out to Ukraine again at the end of June to start work on the community kitchens.

    HOW

    How can you help ? simply by donating what ever amount you can. 100% of the money raised will go directly to the cause.

    The war will end and it is the communities that will form the foundation blocks that will form the future for Ukraine to move forward.

    We are raising unto £20,000 to do this and we are humbly asking you to help.

    £10 will feed a family of 4 for 2 days.

    £50 will pay for the operation of a community kitchen for 1 day, which could feed 500 people.

    £100 will feed a family of 4 for 1 month.

    £500 will fund the building of a wood burning bread oven for 1 community kitchen.

    Thank you for your time.

    Tony

      This is Vlad and Anastasia. They live on the border of Butcha and Irpin. As a family, they invested their entire savings and their life into opening a restaurant in a community area 2 years ago. The building they were in was completely destroyed by a Russian missile. With the money donated, we have bought them a commercial pizza oven so that they can make pizza for their community right now and when they find their new location to set up again, we will help them fit their kitchen out so they can get started straight away. Thank you.

      Hector and I making food packs for the some displaced Ukraninans in Kyiv. Millions of innocent families have had to leave their homelands in Eastern Ukraine to escape the war, but this has left them in desperate need of help, especially food. What Hector does, on a daily basis, is amazing and I was so honoured to help him out on one of his runs.

      This place amazed me. It is in Kharkiv in the basement of an old bank, which is now a puppet theatre (pre war). There have been 75 families sheltering in here for nearly 3 months and every so often to entertain the children, they put on a show upstairs on the stage. This shows hope for the future.
