My heart aches for the people of Ukraine and to think that there is a war happening right now in that country, in the 21st century, is absolutely insane and unacceptable.
My grandmother was from Odesa, a city in Ukraine. She fled in 1917 and ended up in Brazil, where she married my grandfather. She was my dad's mom, and I had the chance to share my life with her for 7 years. I will always remember her, the language that I never understood and the great food she made. I never met the rest of the family, except one of her sisters that also lived in Brazil. All the other four brothers, her mother and father went back to Ukraine after the Revolution ended. Very sad that families get separated because of selfish motives.
This project is close to my heart, because of my family ties, and because I know my dad still have relatives in Ukraine, even tough we never had the chance to meet them.
Please consider donating to Ukraine. Just think how much suffering the war is causing to the children, mothers, fathers, sick people in the hospital, men fighting the war, and remember all casualties. Please help. Ukraine needs us all.
