Hello! Thank you for your interest in this online workshop. Usually I offer a Christmas Zoom workshop free of charge.
This year I would like to ask you for a small donation ONLY if you are able. This donation will be used to help provide Christmas and New Year gifts for Ukrainian families who fled the war.
Many of you know that I have been volunteering since the beginning of the war in Ukraine in February. I have helped 80 people and 4 dogs to find amazing Canadian hosts. Some families live within driving distance of me, so I can visit them in person. The families who live in different parts of Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and Newfoundland will receive an e-transfer or a gift certificate.
Some statistics for you:
There are 28 families, a total of 80 people, including 35 children. One family is expecting a baby next Spring.
Eighteen families live in Ontario, fourteen in Ottawa, six families live in Montreal, three families live in Alberta and one family lives in Newfoundland.
One family has 4 children; three families have 3 children, seven families have 2 children and eight families have one.
There are nine groups of young couples and single professionals whose husbands are still in Ukraine.
I would be very grateful to receive any amount via PAYPAL or E-TRANSFER to

Thank you!
