Update 💙💛
6 July 2023
Wow! We were blown away by the response to our first #runforukraine fundraiser this year and wanted to say a massive thank you.
With your help we raised $1,885 in just 6 days! Almost 100 pairs of warm NZ merino wool socks were added to Chris Childerhouse's fundraiser thanks to you. A total of 1,385 pairs of NZ wool socks arrived in Poland in April. They were then transported to Ukraine and helped Ukrainians get through a cold winter. We have had direct communication from Chris, who wanted to pass on a massive thank you and let you know how amazing you all are.
Your support has been overwhelming. We are so proud of Aotearoa and its people, who continue to stand with Ukraine. As someone with direct links to the country - it is impossible to put into words how much your donations and ongoing support means.
Everyone survived the run and some are keen for more. The second run will take place in August, with the funds going towards the shipping costs of a 40ft container, which kiwis have filled with humanitarian aid over the last few months. Medicines, warm clothes, blankets and toys will be shipped directly to Ukraine from Auckland.
If you would like contribute to this great cause (which closes tomorrow) please visit our page: https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/running-for-humanitarian-aid.
Nga mihi nui Aotearoa
