Hi everyone! We are so fortunate to live in a great place like Canada. Family, friends, and an abundance of opportunities enrich our lives. Christmas is a time for fun, laughter, and celebration with the people we love and care about. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all.

This holiday season, we want to give.

We are travelling to Ukraine over the Christmas holidays with an organization called Help Us Help the Children (HUHTC) that works with orphanages all over Ukraine to help the children gain experiences that they would otherwise never get. In doing so, we are hoping to provide 9 Ukrainian orphans with a Christmas that they may not have without our help. These children don’t have families to spend the holidays with and have gone through much more than many of us can even fathom. Our mission is to provide these children with the opportunity to attend a winter camp, where they will be introduced to skiing in the Carpathian mountains, have the opportunity to participate in workshops that will provide them with skills needed for a successful life outside the orphanage, and most importantly, provide them a traditional Christmas experience that we can enjoy with them.

We are looking for your support to provide these children with this unforgettable opportunity. The cost for one child to attend camp is $500. This cost covers the entire experience, including their accommodations, food, ski tickets and rentals, workshops, transportation and much, much more. We are looking to our friends and families to help raise enough money to send 14 additional children to camp, who without our help, will not have the opportunity to attend. Please help us to make this dream a reality.

Thank you so much for your support,

Lily, Alexa, Alla, Alyssa, Anya, Nika, Dmytro, Martin and John.
