Saskatchewan’s Ukrainian connection is strong, as evidenced by the response to the Rawlco Radio Saskatchewan Day of Caring for Ukraine.
On Thursday, in partnership with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress’ Saskatchewan branch (UCC) and the Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF), a 12-hour Day of Caring for Ukraine elicited a phenomenal response.
In just 12 hours, pulled together and donated $1,020,125 to support the Ukrainian Humanitarian Appeal, which will provide humanitarian assistance to refugees and those in Ukraine.
“What an amazing day it has been. I am so touched by the generosity of the people of this province. It is incredible. I am at a loss for words,” said Danylo Puderak with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan.
From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., listeners heard from people hiding in bunkers or helping the displaced, and those back in Saskatchewan working to get help to those in need.
“It is hard for us to think that in a matter of one week that people would be forced to uproot their lives and find whatever way they can — walking, cars, buses, packing trains — to flee across the border because of the bombings taking place and the troops in their cities,” Puderak said.
The money will purchase food packages, medicine and shelter and will go to agencies helping refugees as well as people in Ukraine.
