“No peaceful nation should ever be subjected to the mindless horrors of war. No words can ever bring back the lives that are being lost, futureâs that are being crushed and worldâs being torn apart.
We stand with all other people in the free world in full support of Ukraineâs right to freedom. We are humbled by the extraordinary bravery and spirit of the population of Ukraine in the face of this horrific attack.
If you can, please support this appeal launched by one of our Ukranian friends to help. Itâs a JustGiving campaign that will directly benefit those who need it most with humanitarian aid. Food, medicine and baby supplies for women, children and the elderly, which are being driven from dedicated warehouses that they have set up directly to those suffering.”
Thank you,
Nick, Simon, Roger and John -
