April, May and June 2026
Based on a recommendation from Iryna Vorobieva, we donated to the Dignitas Fund that supports soldiers and veterans : https://dignitas.fund/
Iryna: "The Ukrainian military is the only one protecting the children of Ukraine. If the military is not saved and treated, there will be thousands of children killed. There is no one left to protect them."

"I looked at your website for donations: so much help for the military, homeland, pets, elders and medicine - I’m in awe. I appreciate your work and encouragement.
For us, this is not just about money, but about the world and human solidarity, a distant group of people thinking about us. Thanks to all kind people. At the moment I needed it most, help came."
