Warriors of Wildlife.
At least 50% of my profit as the designer from this group buy will be donated to Warriors of Wildlife, an animal shelter in Ukraine.
Both Omegaswitch and I have cats, and this was the part of the war that felt closest to home for us. Cats are among the animals most affected by the war, and if we don't help protect them, who will?
Omegaswitch has taken care of everything on our side: finding the shelter, getting in touch with them and organising the donations. The shelter is near Vinnytsia, in west-central Ukraine, and our point of contact there is Lionel.
All physical donations are delivered through Od srdce k rukám, z.s. (CZ ID: 24489824), who handle the actual deliveries to Ukraine. We are not involved in the deliveries themselves.
