BASI has always been a vessel of light and love, and we want to extend that love and light to those currently suffering in Ukraine. We want to encourage our BASI Family and others to help us show support and get involved. In addition to some in-house fundraising, we have created this GoFundMe to go to the non-profit UNICEF USA.
With our beloved BASI Pilates Academy, Kyiv, we are supporting "UNICEF: Children in Crossfire of Ukraine Crisis." UNICEF USA has been working nonstop in eastern Ukraine, delivering lifesaving programs for affected children and families as fighting has taken an increasingly heavy toll on the civilian population emergency response in Ukraine.
Key emergency interventions include:
- Prepositioning health, hygiene, and emergency education supplies as close as possible to communities near the line of contact
- Trucking safe water to conflict-affected areas
- Supporting mobile child protection teams providing psychosocial care to children traumatized by chronic insecurity, responding to cases of violence and abuse against children
- Assisting children separated from their family
- Working with municipalities to ensure immediate help for children and families in need
We want to thank everyone for their efforts and donations in advance; it is greatly appreciated. Our goal is to reach $5,000 in donations. We hope these donations will make a difference for so many children and families struggling in Ukraine. Ultimately, we are hoping for a peaceful resolution to the tragedy currently taking place in Ukraine.
We want our BASI family to be encouraged, and we will continue to show love and empathy for those currently on the frontline.
We will all get through this together!
