    Story

    Thank you so much for your support and so many messages of solidarity from people all around!

    The war in Ukraine is absolute madness! Never in my entire life did I ever imagine that the two nations would ever be at war, or more accurately one attacking the other. It is really hard to put into words all the thoughts and feelings to be honest. Seeing your people and country being destroyed by a madman is terrifying and infuriating. This mindless violence is taking a huge toll on the innocent people of Ukraine as I know first hand from constant contact with my family there. They are not safe but they are alive and I'm able to contact them daily. Some of them you can see in the image above. They are lovely, hard working and peace-loving people. One of them, my cousin's wife Irina, is a medic on the front line - she's a real hero. I haven't heard from her for a couple of days and I pray that she's safe. The rest are keeping sheltered in or around Kiev or trying to make their way to Poland. I promised them that I'll do my absolute best to get them to safety as soon as they cross the border and give them every possible financial assistance to survive and restore their lives. This brings me here.

    Thank you for supporting and donating! It really means a lot to me and the family! There will be more that we all can do once the refugees get to the UK and Europe but for now please keep supporting, whether by educating people in your surrounding, or showing up to local peaceful rallies, or making monetary donations. All of the proceeds raised here will be used directly to help families of those suffering in Ukraine.

      I was recently got in touch with someone who's been doing some amazing work in Kiev. They have a small team that are using their van to go back and forth, drive vulnerable innocent people out of hot spots around Kiev to safety elsewhere, and then bring back with them the food, medicines etc. What they are doing is extremely dangerous and heroic! They are putting their lives not the line with every trip they make. Your donations will be going directly to them to help pay for the fuel and other costs to keep this effort going. Thank you so much!

      As I get more and more updates about the situation in Ukraine from people there, the more I realise how harrowing the reality of war is... A relative of mine whose parents and grand-parents are still there, living on the outskirts of Kiev where the heaviest fighting is going on, tells me that they're absolutely shocked by the destruction of people's houses and flats and the mindless violence and killings around them. The grand-parents that lived through the Second World War are saying that they haven't seen such horrors even in the 1940s!...

      Quick update on the family in my last post. They were able to find a place to live. It's nothing to shout about but they are just extremely grateful to be able to have a roof over their heads. Amazingly they are also both still able to work remotely which as you can image a huge relief for them. The companies they work for, although based in Ukraine, are foreign owned and the owners are making sure that the employees can carry on working. Internet - what would we do without it :)
