Rick Nelms is raising money for Disasters Emergency Committee

Painting 'Light, Love and Hope for Ukraine' viewed to raise money for DEC to use at their discretion. · 12 March 2022

At times of overseas emergency, the DEC brings together a unique alliance of the UK's aid, corporate, public and broadcasting sectors to rally the nation's compassion, and ensure that funds raised go to DEC agencies best placed to deliver effective and timely relief to people most in need.

Story

Thanks for coming to my JustGiving page in response to my painting, which you can also see here in the media gallery.

The painting, Light, Love and Hope for Ukraine' features Light, reminding us of God's love and the hope that we all have that the war in Ukraine will stop. The painting also features the red berries and green and red leaves of kalyna (guelder rose, Viburnum opulus), the official national plant of Ukraine. I hope that you enjoy viewing the painting, created like all my paintings, using technology as I can no longer hold a paintbrush. I encourage you to support the DEC through JustGiving, and if the emergency in Ukraine ends, I expect the DEC to use any remaining funds in other future emergencies.
