The Revived Soldiers Ukraine Foundation and Irina Vashchuk Discipio organized a charity event at St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church in Philadelphia. The event became a real celebration of Ukrainian culture with the participation of the famous Ukrainian band DakhaBrakha.
This was reported by the organizers.
The event raised more than $25,000, which will be used to purchase a high-quality bionic prosthesis to help wounded soldier Volodymyr Kuzmenko of the 8th Regiment of the Special Forces.
The event also included a charity auction that sold exclusive items: gloves signed by Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the book Ukraine a War Crime about Russian war crimes, the book Sergeant V'yun, a painting by a Lviv artist, and drumsticks by DakhaBrakha. In total, the auction raised $8.3 thousand.
The event was supported by Ukrainian soldiers who are currently undergoing treatment in the United States and the community of the local parish, which provided a warm welcome to the guests.
Irina Vashchuk Discipio expressed her gratitude to all the guests and partners for supporting the foundation, as well as to the DakhaBrakha band, thanks to which the necessary funds were raised.
