Campaign for Families Fleeing the War in Ukraine

I’m pleased and honoured to be part of the campaign cabinet for the initiative to raise funds for Ukrainian families relocating to the Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB area after fleeing the Russian invasion of their country. I’m actively raising funds on behalf of this campaign and would appreciate any and all support. Tax receipts are provided.

If you’d like to donate directly through the United Way of Greater Moncton and SENB website, click here and choose “Ukraine SENB” in the fund portion of the donation form. You can also visit the campaign’s main website here.

Feel free to share this post. Thank you in advance for your help and support!

Happy Easter!
