A Letter From Alex and Svi
A great tragedy befell our dear homeland Ukraine. It has been a very trying time for all Ukrainians as our country fights for its existence. There have been bombings in all major cities of Ukraine, atrocities and war crimes which the entire world can see. Our hometowns are sheltering refugees from cities that have been destroyed, like Kharkiv and Mariupol. As of today, over 10 million Ukrainian civilians have been displaced from their homes, and over 4 million people – mainly women and children – have been forced to leave Ukraine. We feel that we must utilize our platform to help these people. Our people.
Today, we ask for your help. We are in a unique position to personally know people and organizations making a difference on the ground. In order to support their efforts, we have established the Hope For Ukraine Fund. This restricted fund will be run through Len-D A Hand Inc., a fully operational 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation established by Alex in 2015. All donations will be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The Hope For Ukraine Fund will distribute funds through the consent of a committee, which will be led by Alex Len and Svi Mykhailiuk. Our efforts will be documented by photographers and videographers on the ground in Ukraine, and each donor will be able see how they have directly made a difference in the lives off the Ukrainian people. We welcome everyone to get involved in any way that you are comfortable. Spread the message. Donate. Together we can bring peace and hope to Ukraine.
Thank you all for supporting us and our homeland!
Alex Len Svi Mykhailiuk
