Western Canada: The Ukrainian-Canadians who are heading to Ukraine to help
Three orphans are being transported to safer areas in Ukraine. Chad and Mary Martz live in B.C. and serve with Hungry For Life—a non-profit based out of Chilliwack. In the past, they took frequent trips to Ukraine, where Mary was born, because of their work with the organization. In July, they planned to stay in Western Ukraine for about a month to finish building a house they invested long time ago. But with evolving situation there, the couple stayed. Now, they become one of the key contact people in the area to help refugees fleeing conflict zones find accommodations. They’ve contacted churches and individuals who are willing to open their homes. Meanwhile, the couple and their organization are directly responsible for a team of 130 people from a church in Eastern Ukraine. Among them, 52 are orphans who used to live in the orphanage associated with the church. Chad said, after about three days of travelling, the team has finally arrived in safer areas and have all settled.

Canada’s Ukrainian diaspora mobilizing to support Ukraine
TORONTO, ONT (March 3, 2022) - A photo of Natalie Tershakowec's paintings that are to be sent to donors. Tershakowec is a lawyer who has been painting since she was a child and decided to make these paintings to sell as a fundraiser for the Canada-Ukraine Foundation which is fundraising for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. "Once everything happened on Wednesday night - on Thursday and Friday you felt so helpless," says Tershakowec. On Saturday she started painting and put out a call on social media. The initiative has since raised about $14,000. The paintings are a modern take on a traditional icon she says, adding that the symbolism is that of hope for Ukrainians.
