The crowdfunding is going well, nearly 3500 €. Hopefully we can get a little higher to give Vitaly a good start in Germany.
When I watch the news, I'm really glad, he and his family are safe in Germany. Looks like there will be no quick solution or end to this war.
Anyway, in case you missed it here are the details:
Vitaly, a surf guitar player from the Ukraine, had to escape the warzone with his wife, kids, dog and one guitar. Luckily we were able to set him up with a house and all the basic stuff of everyday life in Germany. Now we want to offer the prospect of a "regular" life in Germany to him and his family. The kids need to go to school, work has to be found, rent and other costs need to be paid and friends and relatives in the Ukraine and other places need support...let's go for it!

One more week to go everybody, please dig deep and help Vitaly out. I know the surf community is very generous, so spread the word and help out one of our own.

The payment process was very painful for US contributors. Had to cancel out.

If you want to donate directly, as there seem to have been problems for a few Americans with Startnext payments, contact Vitaly aka Samurai via PM and paypal him personally.
