25 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Березень-Квітень 2023 Maria Pazuniak , Press Secretary, Branch 54, Wilmington, DE Since the war in Ukraine, precipitated by the russian federation, started in February 2022, our Branch has been very active in helping Ukraine. Our Branch has so far collected $8,142 for the war effort: $2,900 WBW/Hedgerow Theatre events $1,500 individual donations via our Branch $1,435 Tryzub Independence Day $685 individual donors and Holy Myrr Community Flea Market $635 Arden Concert $537 UECC Community Flea Market $450 individual donors and WBW residual At the request of Branch president Donna Seningen, the mayor of Wil- mington allowed the city’s courthouse and water tower to be lit up in the blue-and-yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag. Other businesses joined in. It was a sight to behold as one drove north and south along I-95. In addition, an unidentified individual sponsored a billboard on I-95 South that read UNITED WE STAND WITH UKRAINE. We have not let a big or small undertaking pass us by. We sold varenyky and took part in Boscov Friends to Friends Day, where customers got a discount at the store if they supported our efforts. We also had a table at the Arden Fair where we sold T-shirts, flags, buttons, decals, and other beautiful items. We were able to send the Ukrainian Pediatric Burn Victims $1,440, donated by individuals and our Branch members. Our Branch also helped an orphanage in Ukraine by sending, on Octo - ber 6, boxes of jackets donated by the Knights of Columbus. We also received a donation from the Apostleship of Prayer, and W. L. The Wilmington water department. The courthouse in Wilmington. BRANCH 54 Takes Every Opportunity to Support Ukraine Gore employees donated 25 packag - es of new jackets, along with other pre-owned, reusable items. A 650-pound shipment was sent to Sister Romana for distribution, with shipping courtesy of Ukraine Express. Our Branch is small but hardworking.
