This please consider supporting Ukrainian refugee children!
REFUGEE EDUCATION FUND | Akec
A lot of Ukrainian refugees are coming to America - mostly mothers with children, while many dads stay behind fighting in the war. They often come with just a backpack, do not yet have work authorization, and only get nominal money for food.

A donor, who asked to remain anonymous, just stopped by our office and paid for 4 weeks of summer camp for one of the Ukrainian refugee kids! We are overwhelmed with gratitude!

Ways you can help these children (and many more we are currently registering):
1. Make a tax-deductible donation
2. Share their stories and encourage friends to make a tax-deductible donation
3. Encourage your celebrity friends to do shout-outs on their social media
From widows to cancer patients, their parents need all the help they can get to make sure their children can get over all the trauma they've experienced. Many of us are also parents so let's support fellow mothers and fathers!

A lot of Ukrainian refugees are coming to America - mostly mothers with children, while many dads stay behind fighting in the war. They often come with just a backpack, do not yet have work authorization, and only get nominal money for food. We started a Refugee Educational Fund that will help provide childcare services along with the homemade-style meals to refugee children at no cost to take their minds off the atrocities they went through while their parents can get back on their feet.
This fund depends on the kindness and generosity of the businesses and individuals. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation and helping these children after what they went through!
