RELIEF FUND FOR UKRANIAN MUSICIANS

In support of Ukraine, A Far Cry wishes to amplify the important work of Alexander Vavilov through the Lisa Batiashvili Foundation. Read the following message from Alex to learn how you can help support this cause: 

Relief Fund for Ukrainian Musicians has been established at the Lisa Batiashvili Foundation in Germany. The fund provides urgent relief to individual musicians of Ukraine in the form of €500 grants, with the priority focus on the areas that have been most affected by the war. We have so far helped over 40 Ukrainian musicians from the hard hit cities of Mariupol, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Severodonets, but have at least 50 more from these regions on our list. Much of their home cities turned into ruins, these musicians are very likely homeless and desperate for financial support. 

Everyone at the foundation is donating their time for this important and urgent cause, and the banks have canceled transaction fees so that 100% of the funds from your donation will go straight to the beneficiaries! Our full list of professional musicians of Ukraine is close to 400 names and growing, but to help these 50 people in hard hit areas who need support urgently, we need to raise €25,000 in the next two weeks. 

The assistance we provide allows these families to buy food, supplies, and pay for medical expenses. Additionally, the grant sum is substantial enough to influence relocation planning, enabling them to make choices that were not available to them before and get their families to greater safety.
