We are the Ukrainian-American MAXym/CYKman family (MAXCYK). Our ancestors come from Lwiw and Odesa, and our distant relatives are fighting and dying in Ukraine as I write.
The family cannot stand idly by watching the carnage in Ukraine today, without undertaking an unprecedented, united effort to help.
We are asking all our friends and colleagues to join us in our quest to raise as much financial/material support as possible for direct Ukraine relief over the course of 2022 and beyond. This brutal war and its lingering consequences will not be over for some time to come, and we will help rebuild Ukraine!
The designated relief channel specified by MAXCYK, the Gift of the Givers Foundation in South Africa, has been recommended by trusted Ukrainian diplomatic sources, and through the Ukrainian Association.
The family has undertaken its own vetting and discussion, and has agreed to this.
Bless you all for listening, and for caring, Honorary Ukrainians all!
