    Weʼve raised £335 to buy much needed supplies while visiting Poland next week for Ukrainian refugees that have already arrived or yet to arrive.

    Funded on Saturday, 9th July 2022

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    My partner and I are flying to Poland on the 19th March and will be staying in Jedrzejow for 8 days. As we can't physically carry much with us, we are seeking donations so that we can buy much needed supplies once we arrive to help the Ukrainian people who have fled their homes. Therefore we are asking for any amounts of cash donations.

    When in Poland, we will be buying:

    Polish SIM cards with internet access

    Meat & dairy products, vegetable

    Blankets, duvet covers and sets, camping beds, sleeping bags, washing machines,

    Fire wood, coal, rent

    Books for the children so they can learn Polish

    And many more depending on demand

    (09.03.2022) 1,4 million Ukrainian refugees are already in Poland. While the support from all the ordinary people across Europe is massive with donations mostly focusing on clothes, long lasting food products, sanitary and medicine. Refugees who have made it to Poland need ongoing support until they receive government support and can stand on their own two feet. Our family in Poland has already helped with finding emergency accommodation for over 67 people (mostly women and children) and are dedicated to organising support across their town and surrounding villages. We want to help do our bit for these people whose lives have been turned upside down by these atrocities. All donations no matter how small add up and make a huge difference.

      Thank you all for your donations. So far, we have raised £1535 across Paypal, JustGiving and our private accounts. It is amazing to see how many people contributed. We can assure you that the money you pay will make a huge difference and we will be updating you all on what we spend on when we are there. One of our friends helped us put together a press release. The story went to the local press and we hope it will be published shortly. 13.03.2022 - 1.7 million Ukrainian refugees arrived in Poland so far. (80,000 - 100,000 a day) Thank you!
