The Ukrainian Patriot has been on the ground in Ukraine since the war began in February and the organizer Lana Nyland continues to take donations to directly help the residents of Ukraine still in the country fighting the war along with those who can’t or won’t leave their homes.
There have been funds raised for the Ukrainian Patriot from all across the world including right here in Dauphin and the Parkland.
Local organizer Talya Oleski said that as of April 1 the local group helping raise money to send to Lana in Ukraine has raised a total of $4,175 since they began the campaign in February.
The funds raised for the Ukrainian Patriot will be used for three separate areas in Ukraine and Lana explained what they are.
At the moment our three main focuses are protective gear and technical items which is anything from helmets to vests to plate carriers and radios, the second is medicines and medical equipment. Number three is that any of the leftover funds will be set aside for special causes like feeding the children and the elderly who can’t or won’t leave for whatever reason.
The incredible support from people around the world hasn’t gone unnoticed and Lana spoke about the support.
It’s this sort of solidarity from people around the world and most certainly from those of you in the Dauphin area that you are Ukraine’s secret weapon and we are so grateful. Thank you so much for your support. We wouldn’t be able to be here still fighting without you.
