Hello Lincoln, I am working to support a Ukrainian family with young children from my ancestral hometown near Kyiv. When Russia invaded, I found them via Airbnb, like so many others. Since then, part of the family has fled to safety in Sweden and part remained in Ukraine to distribute food whenever possible, and to help transport evacuees to the Polish border via personal car and paid buses. I have had the privilege of helping them financially, logistically and emotionally, putting them in touch with new friends (former strangers) in Poland and Sweden as they have moved through this crisis.
They are looking to immigrate to Canada where they can hopefully reunite and find work and a home. While we have found official information regarding the immigration process, they are anxious to speak to other Ukrainians who have made the move to Canada, if possible. Please email me directly if you have any contacts who might be helpful in this pursuit, most importantly Ukrainian contacts in Canada. Also, if you would like to make a financial contribution of any amount to their ongoing sustenance and community outreach, that would be welcome. Much of the financial support I have contributed has gone to food distribution and car/bus fuel in Ukraine, while some has gone to haircuts and new clothes for the children in Sweden. This however is a personal contact, and not via an official channel. Thank you for your consideration. In Peace, Heather Heather E.
