Hi, Creative Friends-
It’s hard to see the humanitarian crisis occurring right now and the suffering taking place in Ukraine. Friends in Ukraine are asking for donations to buy baby formula, medicine, and basic hygiene supplies. Personally, I can’t imagine the heartache and agony that is going on right now in Ukraine. If you are a bit like me and want resources to support the Ukrainian people…
Here Are 3 Creative Ways To Help The People Of Ukraine Right Now.
Give To Direct Relief Ukraine: Citizen Brick is run by an old friend of mine who is an incredible fine artist. Joe took an interesting turn in his creative career and turned his creative work into a big business selling tiny custom Lego figures. Most importantly, Joe created a “Zelensky Mini Figure” and raised almost $150,000 for Direct Relief Ukraine. Who said creativity doesn’t help the world hasn’t met Joe! Go be like Joe and donate to Direct Relief Ukraine and then check out super cool products at Citizen Brick.
Support World Kitchen: Jośe Andres is a world-famous chef who has created an amazing network of other chefs to show up in times of crisis to help others through World Kitchen. WCK has provided tens of millions of fresh, nourishing meals for communities in need around the world and they are doing the same at the Ukrainian border. Support World Kitchen by making a donation here Donation To World Kitchen.
Send Support Get Art: Being an artist and selling creative work can be challenging at the best of times, to say the least. Now imagine being a Ukraine artist in the middle of a war. If you would like to support a Ukraine artist here is a list at The Geek Diary: Support Ukrainian Artists And Other Creatives.
Lastly, make a donation to anywhere organization that supports Ukraine and then download this “Peace For Ukraine” poster. Print it and place it in a window or give it to a friend and then…
