Hello, my name is David MacKenzie. I am trying to raise money to hire beautiful musicians to play a benefit concert that will raise money for Ukrainian people trying to flee to safety.

My mother-in-law Valentina is currently making the dangerous journey across Ukraine to Poland as I write this. Ever since this horrible war started, my family and I can not sit down for a simple meal without tears in our eyes because we know how much people are suffering and starving in Ukraine.

To stage a beautiful concert to raise money for the people who desperately need it, we need money for the fantastic musicians who can make it come to life. Please help fund the music so that the concert can become a reality. Let's make this world a little bit better with music.
