My partner and I are flying to Poland on the 19th March and will be staying in Jedrzejow for 8 days. As we can't physically carry much with us, we are seeking donations so that we can buy much needed supplies once we arrive to help the Ukrainian people who have fled their homes. Therefore we are asking for any amounts of cash donations.

When in Poland, we will be buying:

Polish SIM cards with internet access

Meat & dairy products, vegetable

Blankets, duvet covers and sets, camping beds, sleeping bags, washing machines,

Fire wood, coal, rent

Books for the children so they can learn Polish

And many more depending on demand

(09.03.2022) 1,4 million Ukrainian refugees are already in Poland. While the support from all the ordinary people across Europe is massive with donations mostly focusing on clothes, long lasting food products, sanitary and medicine. Refugees who have made it to Poland need ongoing support until they receive government support and can stand on their own two feet. Our family in Poland has already helped with finding emergency accommodation for over 67 people (mostly women and children) and are dedicated to organising support across their town and surrounding villages. We want to help do our bit for these people whose lives have been turned upside down by these atrocities. All donations no matter how small add up and make a huge difference.
