Sarah Lawrence College students are organizing a special fundraising event to support Ukrainian refugees. For those who can't attend in person, we invite you to contribute through this GoFundMe campaign.

All funds raised will be donated to Razom for Ukraine, a trusted humanitarian organization that has been providing critical aid to Ukrainians for over a decade. Your donation will help provide food, medical supplies, and essential support to those displaced by the war.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a real difference. Stand with Ukraine—donate today and help us bring hope and relief to those in need.

Thank you for your support and solidarity!

Hello! My name is Natalia. Two years ago, I moved to New York City from Ukraine due to the brutal Russian invasion of my homeland. This year on November 2nd, I’m turning 21, and I want to celebrate this milestone in a way that truly matters.

My goal is to raise $2100 to provide critical humanitarian war relief and recovery to those in desperate need supported by “RAZOM”.

Feeling generous? How about donating the price of a birthday gift — $21 in honor of my 21st!

Thank you for your support!

We are standing, and walking, in solidarity with Ukraine. 500 km is roughly the distance from Kyiv to the nearest Polish border - a journey that too many have been forced to take. Collectively, we plan to walk this distance, and we ask for your support.

 

We are fundraising for "Razom" [which means "together" in Ukrainian], a non-profit based in New York that created an Emergency Response project to provide urgent help and support in this extreme situation in Ukraine. Razom is currently focused on providing critical medical supplies, helping children and women, and working with governments and embassies on humanitarian corridors.

 

We are asking for donations to support Razom's work in this time of deep distress. Any contribution you are able to make would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you

Razom, which means “together” in Ukrainian, is an organization with a singular mission: to build a more prosperous Ukraine. Razom was born out of the Revolution of Dignity in 2014. Following the unprovoked, full-scale attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Razom quickly mobilized an Emergency Response Fund focused on saving lives. Your generous contribution has allowed us to provide critical medical and humanitarian aid, support vulnerable civilians, and amplify the voices of Ukrainians.

As Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine continues, tragic news continues to flow out of the country. The Russian government's unprovoked attack has targeted civilians and is a threat to human rights and democracy not only in Ukraine, but around the world.

 

Born into Chicago's close-knit Ukrainian-American community in 1992, I have only known a world with a free and independent Ukraine. Growing up, my grandparents' stories of brutal occupying Nazi and Soviet forces often felt like a distant past.  Over summer-long visits and a year living and working in Kyiv in 2015/16, I got to know the young and inspiring generation of idealists fighting for Ukraine's free and democratic  future. 

 

Today, Ukraine faces a renewed threat to its sovereignty and a ruthless attack on everything its young and idealistic generations stand for. Please join me in supporting Razom for Ukraine an organization saving lives in Ukraine today.

 

About Razom for Ukraine's Emergency Response Fund:

Razom has proactively focused on purchasing medical supplies for critical situations like blood loss and other tactical medicine items. Razom has a large procurement team of volunteers that tracks down and purchases supplies and a logistics team that then gets them to Ukraine. Through multiple meetings a day, they are coordinating with several partner organizations worldwide, including Nova Ukraine, United Help Ukraine, Revived Soldiers Ukraine, Sunflower for Peace, and Euromaidan-Warszava. They are also working with governments and embassies on humanitarian corridors for evacuations of civilians. Razom is a trusted organization with a highly vetted team of partners in Ukraine, Poland, and the US. Thank you in advance for anything you can give to support Razom to get resources to those on the ground who need them most.

 

Sharing below a few photos for a glimpse into some things I love about Ukraine:

 

1. A country built on the shoulders of strong women: With my Great Aunt Lalyusa, a force of nature who along with her 5 siblings survived World War II and the brutal occupations of foreign regimes. 

2. A forward-looking young people: At the climate march in Kyiv, young demonstrators hold up a sign in front of the Ministry of Energy and Coal titled "Ukraine, Ministry of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency"

 

4. A culture of idealism and hope: Happier times in Kyiv.

 

5. Diverse in culture, language, and landscapes: A photo of my friend Lesya from one of many trips to the Carpathian mountains

 

6. Resilience in the face of adversity: A welcome sign in Slovyansk in Eastern Ukraine after the Ukrainian military recaptured it from Russian-backed forces in 2014. Painted a patriotic blue and yellow, bullet holes were turned into red flowers.

 

Thank you in advance for your support!!

Unfortunately the war in Ukraine is still raging on. Innocnet Ukrainians are being killed and injured everyday. The Russians are attempting to destroy the Ukrainian people, culture, and environment! Please consider donating as we ride for Ukraine again in the Catskill mountains.

Watching the news of millions of refugees leaving Ukraine...trying to get to safety... while their loved ones go to the front lines, the phrase “We are watching you” came to me. I believe that many of us have those words inside us that need to be spoken, and that the human collective is asking…”What can I do?”

I invite you to get involved in the following ways:

Being half a world away, it’s easy for us in the US to fall asleep to the Ukrainian reality. I think it’s vitally important that we collectively not forget what’s going on with all those affected.

There are millions of displaced Ukrainians across the world, so please do as many of these things as you can, to look out for these families and especially for the children.

Thank you in advance, and blessings to you all,

MEET THE ORGANIZER: WALT STEWART

My name is Walt Stewart, and I'm a Vietnam-era veteran, songwriter, artist, builder, and guide from Wimberley, Texas, USA...near Austin.

I have worked since the mid-1980’s to guide and heal people through their traumas, including PTSD, through organizations such as ManKind Project, Vets Journey Home, Return With Honor, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Guard, Boys To Men Mentoring, and others.

As a Navy veteran, I’ve seen the ongoing physical, spiritual, and psychological damage that war levels on not only soldiers, but also their families: the wives, mothers, brothers, sisters, and, especially the children.

In early 2022, as we all watched Russia invade Ukraine–again–I was thrown into my own sadness and anger about yet another war.

As an artist, this “stuck energy” became an art quest for me, in the form of a song. I shared this story many times over the last year with my musician and artist friends…and the art quest became the song “We Are Watching You (Stay Strong).”

I wrote the song “We Are Watching You (Stay Strong)” as a way to elevate and sustain support for humanitarian relief for the ongoing war in Ukraine. The song is a voicing of the resonance, to go out and vibrate up against the actuality of what’s going on. It’s a release, and so my message is to simply sing the song and let the words resonate out there.

I think it’s important to let the people know that we see what’s going on—I see you, and I want you to know that you’re not alone. Being half a world away, it’s easy for us in the US to fall asleep to the Ukrainian reality. I think it’s vitally important that we collectively not forget what’s going on with all those affected.

Will you please join me in this effort to make a lasting difference for the people of Ukraine?

Thank you in advance, and blessings to you all,

Walt Stewart

As a tribute to the life of Theodosij Hryciw, who passed away on November 1, 2022, in Ann Arbor, MI, funds are being raised to benefit the Ukrainian war relief efforts through Razom, Inc. Theodosij was 103 years old and a model Ukrainian patriot. His century was brutal on Ukraine: the Holodomor in 1932-33 (genocidal famine caused by the Communist regime), World War II (leaving over 16% of Ukraine's population dead), the gulags, persecutions, criminalization of churches, and other atrocities. Finally, Ukraine achieved its independence in 1991. But thirty-one years later, with Theodosij still watching, Ukraine is again being brutalized, leaving thousands of civilians and wounded defenders needing medical help. Please join Theodosij’s wife Lucia, his sons Roman and Yarema, and their families in honoring Theodosij Hryciw and helping Ukraine through Razom, Inc.
