Support Ukrainian Refugees fleeing to Romania

And maybe get some yarn

My sister is running a GoFundMe to help support EuroEd Foundation, an NGO in Iași, Romania. The NGO is one with which my Aunt worked for decades beginning with her time in Romania as a Peace Corp Volunteer. My family has stayed in contact with the leadership of the organization, with whom she was close friends.

Iași, Romania is a mere 10km away from the border to Moldova, through which many Ukrainian refugees are coming, and is receiving waves of refugees looking for medical and legal assistance as they find places to temporarily settle. Many have no documentation and have fled without knowing where they may be able to sleep the next night, let alone settle while war rages in their homeland.

EuroEd Foundation is an NGO in Iași, dedicated to act as a catalyst for social integration and social change, education and aid.

Teachers and staff at the EuroEd Foundation are fundraising and then liaising with local authorities and the Rotary club for providing food, sanitary items, blankets and other necessities.

Starting today, EuroEd is receiving Ukrainian children at the language school to give some semblance of a normal life after theirs has been uprooted.

It is a humanitarian disaster, but your donation will go directly to those refugees on the border while they find a safe place to stay.

Where does the yarn come in?

If you donate, fill in the donation form with your email. If we reach our goal, I’ll select three people at random from those who donated to receive a skein of sock yarn from my stash (or one of your choice new from a website in the country in which you reside. So yes, this is open to anybody anywhere).
