Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am auctioning my painting 'Sunflowers for Ukraine' to help raise  money for the Ukrainian people, who have done nothing but live their lives. I cannot sit by and do nothing, so I hope to use my artwork to help. My Grandparents were Ukrainian refugees who came to England, and I have Ukrainian family and friends so it is all the more important for me to do this in their memory. Please, anything you can do to help will be much appreciated and put to good use.

The money raised will be donated directly to the Disasters Emergency Committee for their Ukraine humanitarian appeal. 

How will my donation help people in Ukraine?
Your donation will be used to reach people in urgent need, including:

• Providing food, first aid, clean water, shelter support, warm clothing, hygiene parcels and medicines
• Supporting hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Supporting fire fighters and civil protection units
• Training people up in life-saving first aid
• Helping families stay in contact with each other
• Educating people on the risks of explosives
• Repairing vital infrastructure
• Helping to repair homes, healthcare centres, schools and community centres

Tickets will be £5 and I will allocate your raffle number or numbers and according to how much you donate on this page.

I know many people feel helpless and want to do something, by donating you will directly be helping Ukrainian people. We cannot sit back and do nothing so I hope you will support this. 

The draw will be on 28th March 2022 at 8pm 

The artwork being raffled is:

‘Sunflowers for Ukraine'

Acrylic painting on paper, 2021  

35.5cm x 24.5cm (or 10 x 14 inches). I will carefully package up and post the painting out to you free of charge anywhere in the world.
