ASSIGNMENT 3

Ukrainian Defense Support

Being a Ukrainian immigrant in America, I feel a deep concern about the difficult situation in my homeland. Reflecting on my roots, I understand the importance of aiding Ukrainian refugees and soldiers who are currently going through tough times. With a total sum of $25,000, I would wholeheartedly donate it to support the Ukrainian Defense Support, an organization that assists Ukrainian refugees in the USA and soldiers on the front lines. This nonprofit organization, based in Seattle, is notable for its work in favor of Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression.

Considering the situation, I believe these funds can also be used for organizing several charitable events aimed at supporting the Ukrainian community and endorsing important initiatives.

There’s also the possibility of creating educational programs or informational campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the situation in Ukraine and ways to help. Furthermore, supporting Ukrainian artists, writers, and intellectuals could enhance their visibility and promote cultural exchange between Ukraine and the USA. All these measures could contribute to increasing support for Ukraine and help provide necessary aid to those in need.

Ukrainian people are dying. Ukrainian people are losing their families and homes. A lot of them are forced to leave their homes. Having experienced firsthand the initial months of war, I know how terrifying it can be. I also know firsthand how challenging it is to be an immigrant in a new country, so I am extremely eager to help this organization continue to provide assistance to people who have undergone similar experiences.

Additionally, I would like to emphasize the importance of fostering a sense of unity and solidarity among Ukrainian immigrants in the USA. By coming together and supporting each other, we can navigate the challenges of being immigrants in a new country while also contributing to the support of our homeland.
