MAY 10, 2022 UPDATE
All donation receipts are now only shared to those who purchased the patterns after February 24 - this is done because of privacy concerns (if you’d like to see the receipts, please send me a private message or email, I’ll search your purchase, and will share the receipts). Some shameless people decided to use this war and trying to profit from scamming other artist (myself including).
I also wanted to mention - this is NOT all the help i provide.. some cash to my personal friends who are now refugees are not even mentioned here, and all covered by my other income, personally.
This month was slow sales (i’ve added screen shots for sale (Feb24 to Mar 24 and March2 4-April 24).
There were a LOT of receipts - if you’d like to see any, please send me a note (only those, who purchased after February 24 will be able to ask for receipts - I’ll verify your purchase, and then can send you the link, that can’t be shared with anyone else).

More coming… follow me. ask me questions.
Pray. get in touch. do anything - speak, ask, volunteer - doing something is better than just standing by. we can’t, we must not to stand by. Also, please do support Ukrainian small businesses - i am putting a LINK together shortly - some you can find on Etsy, some on IG, some on Ravelry.
In addition, I am asking you to boycot russian designers - yes, i said it. and Russian oil. and Russian products. and Russian produced business ( I am not talking about people who moved and live all around the world before the war). I am talking about any money is going back to Russia - it goes back to finance the war against Ukraine. Please think twice before liking that pattern - do your research (I know at least 2 publications - makingstories & brooklyntweed that decided to continue to promote and support russian designers). I personally was very sad at their decision - I will not be buying from BT and MakingStories. I’ll do more research on others too before I purchase anything.
