Art for Ukraine

Watching the news about Ukraine, since the invasion started, has been heartbreaking. I watched many mothers with small children and the elderly trying to get out of Ukraine with multiple bags and in some cases pets. I've watched videos of young people having to leave their homes and possessions behind. They tearfully explained what it was like for them to have to leave. I wanted to do something to help. I knew that the Canadian government would match all donations up to 10 million dollars until March 18. I decided to donate 50% from all my art sales through my art store until March 14.

Happily I can report that I was able to donate a total of $750 to the Canadian Red Cross. 

How does The Canadian Red Cross use the money? Here is a list that I got from the Red Cross: rescue and first aid, family reunification and mental support, safe passage for civilians, health equipment, relief items, care for displaced people, humanitarian specialists and protection of civilians.

Thank you art buyers, without you this would not have been possible. I wish that it wasn't necessary.
