I spent my twenties surrounded by the most amazing people. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, empathetic, and supportive network throughout the years. Whether we shared a drink or laugh together, just know you made an impact on me. As I ring in this new decade, I'm calling on your support for the crisis in Ukraine. With a network like the one I have in all of you, I've learned firsthand the power of people- the amazing things we can do if we stick together and support one another. I created this GoFundMe to directly aid families and individuals affected by the crisis. Any contribution you make will truly go a long way and mean so much to me. All proceeds will go directly to The International Committee of the Red Cross. The Red Cross has done tremendous work in helping with the current tragedy in Ukraine, with examples below and not limited to:

*Delivering food and hygiene parcels to families fleeing Ukraine

*Providing aid training for thousands of people sheltering in metro stations and bomb shelters in Ukraine

*Helping to evacuate people with disabilities.

*Assisting first responders.

*Distributing food, water, first aid supplies, fuel for heating and medical supplies in Ukraine.

*Providing those who fled with SIM cards for their cellphones.
