Hi everyone, my name is Anna Millerman. My family and I are from western Ukraine (Shepetivka and Zdolbuniv), but we have been living in NYC and NJ for over 28 years. When the war began, we shared some personal stories regarding our family's history with the Soviet regime and why fighting back is so important to us. If you'd like to read those stories, you'll find them here!

The requests for additional help continue to pour in from our family, friends, and neighbors in Ukraine, so we've decided to start a third fundraiser that we will keep active for as long as the war goes on. We provide updates on how the money is being deployed via email. For the time being we are focusing on protective equipment, medical supplies, and humanitarian aid.

With our first two fundraisers, we managed to raise and deploy over $12,000 for medical supplies and protective equipment and an additional $4,000 that was donated to Ukrainian organizations through TikTok's matching program. We hope to exceed those previous fundraising goals! 

Thank you so much to everyone who has already reached out, donated, posted, or attended protests and rallies on behalf of the Ukrainian people. Please continue to support Ukraine – my family and I will never forget your generosity!
