Penn #StandWithUkraine — Medical and Humanitarian Fundraiser
Hi, my name is Artem, and I am a Penn senior from Eastern Ukraine. The war came to my hometown, to my home, in 2014. I was only 15. Today, as a full-scale horrific war destroys the lives of tens of millions of my brothers and sisters: men, women, children, elderly, newborns — I simply won’t stop until the suffering of the most vulnerable stops. People are hiding from missile strikes in the subway at night, donate blood for the wounded in the morning.
I am starting a fundraiser for charitable organizations that provide help on the ground in Ukraine. The donations will be transferred directly to the organizations below to provide medical assistance to the injured and humanitarian relief to those in need.
As of this moment, Ukraine is alone in the war. Penn, I call on you to #StandWithUkraine. I count on you to encourage all of your friends and family back home to donate as well. These are the most important donations of our lifetime.
Transfer money here: Please send money to my Venmo / PayPal @palartem. (If you are not comfortable with Venmo/PayPal, please use direct donation links below).
Penn community has been my friend in peaceful times, so now it is time to demonstrate solidarity as my family, friends, and literally everyone I know in this life is fighting for our lives, our families, our children, our freedom. No, no one in Ukraine is safe. Yes, soldiers and civilians are in need of medical and humanitarian assistance now.
Your donations will go directly to the following organizations, and where they are needed most. I am in touch with all of them. Please see below for more information about the organizations and what they do.
