My name is Sabrina Shapsis, and coming from a family that immigrated from Ukraine, it has been difficult watching thousands of people suffer unimaginable tragedies and seeing my mother’s homeland attacked, bombed, and destroyed. Upon hearing of an inspiring organization that flies U.S doctors and supplies to children’s hospitals in Kyiv, I was incredibly touched by the efforts of people to help those affected by the war. These children’s hospitals are flooded with orphans and young refugees in one of the most horribly war-affected cities in Ukraine, and they lack an abundance of necessary supplies. After organizing a school supplies drive in which we donated over 177lbs of medicine, food, blankets (etc) to Ukraine with the help of an organization called Meest, I developed a strong urge to do more. With the combination of my passions of writing and art and my love and support for Ukraine, I have created and illustrated a book of poetry and a short story in hope of raising money for Ukraine’s struggling children’s hospitals.
