I wanted to take a moment to personally thank everyone who has donated so far to our Winter Appeal.
It is hard to put into words what your support means to the families, children, and veterans in Ukraine who are facing the harshest days of winter. Your kindness lets them know they are not alone, nor forgotten.
If you have not yet made a donation but are able to, this would extend this circle of protection towards the cost for one more family. Your support is the most meaningful gift they could receive this year.
Together, over 12 days we have raised $130,000 AUD. This isn't just a number—it represents thousands of moments of warmth, safety and light that simply wouldn't have existed without your heart. It has given warmth to over 100 house holds, each unit costing approx $1,200 AUD.
As Christmas approaches, the Ukraine Crisis Appeal team want to wish you and your family a season filled with peace, love and the same comfort you are providing to others.
May your own homes be filled with the warmth and light you have so selflessly shared with those in the darkness.
While we celebrate this time with our loved ones, the frost in Ukraine continues to set in, and our mission is not yet over. Generators remain our most critical need. They are the literal lifeline that keeps hope alive, ensuring that a hospital stays powered or a family stays warm when the grid goes dark.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine and for keeping hope alive.
Warm regards,
Diahanna (Darka) Senko
