Let’s Help Ukraine Together with American Astronaut Scott Kelly
Not only Ukrainians have Ukrainian hearts. This is what I can assure you in a year of full-scale war in my home country. The goal of the Russian invasion was to demolish Ukrainian culture; to take it under the hood of the iron curtain; to save Ukraine, or rather enslave it, which means salvation in the Russian imperial way.
Russia didn’t break Ukraine — it made it stronger. Now Ukrainians are united as never before. The whole civilised world stands with Ukraine. So do we.
However, hiding under the veil of lame excuses, the occupant is still there. Ukrainian soldiers continue to die on the frontline. Civilians are not safe in their homes. Children go to sleep and never wake up…
I am Ukrainian. The lucky one who got the privilege to escape to a peaceful state. But no matter where I am, my mind is in Ukraine. My passport is Ukrainian — so is my heart — and nothing will change it.
Ukraine-Heart is my chance to make an impact, to help my country fight for its freedom and end the horror that is going on.
My name is Julia Korsunska and I am with Ukraine-Heart. I am excited to be a part of this community that connects wonderful people whose hearts are indeed Ukrainian.
Scott Kelly — an astronaut — is one of us. He is an Ambassador of United24, the initiative of President Zelenskyy and the official fundraising platform of Ukraine. “A single donation can save a life,” is what is stated there. Now we have a chance to multiply this effort by the number of lives that can be saved by ambulances that Scott Kelly gathers funds for.
Join us. Make an impact. And remember:
Ukraine is fighting not only for its freedom, but also for the values of the entire democratic world.
United24
[UPD: The fundraising is closed! Thank you to everyone who helped us to accomplish this mission!]
Astronaut Scott Kelly, four-times Commander of the International Space Program, has endorsed Ukraine-Heart. We are an online initiative, of Medium writers and others, to help Scott Kelly complete his mission on earth to raise money for ambulances for Ukraine. When he reaches the commitment he made to President Zelenskyy, Ukraine-Heart will continue to support and promote these initiatives. Donate now!
