СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ! GLORY TO UKRAINE
Four years ago, a bomb hit my childhood home, and now it's happened again. And the first time we were lucky because my grandma wasn't in, this time my mom got to the shelter just in time. The good news is that I'm back on the ladder after my surgery, but today I need your help. Ukraine isn't the only country that is suffering from war, but it's where I'm from. I've made dozens of videos about the atrocities that Russia is doing in Ukraine, and sadly the mass media barely talks about it anymore as if it's not happening. Like a massive humanitarian disaster that is happening right now in Russia occupied Oleshky where people are starving while Russia seizes the food that has been dropped for them. Thanks to you watching the videos we've become the biggest careers channel in the world and now we decided to do something to help. This is a traditional Ukrainian shirt called Vyshovanka designed by me and a brand called Ethno Dim. And it features Ukrainian crafts that are slowly disappearing like blacksmithing, better, and harvesting. The side of it shows the first time I got on a ladder when I was three picking up cherries from a tree at my grandma's place. I was was lucky enough to try loads of jobs growing up in Ukraine including being on camera. But right now for the Ukrainian kids growing up thinking about their dream job is really hard with everything that's going on. So we worked on a program with the kids of Ukraine charity. It helps kids and teenagers in Ukraine who were affected by the war recover emotionally and gain skills to climb their own career ladders. So they will go to professional camps and tier trying different industries to help figure out what their dream job is. All profits from the sale of this shirt will go to fund that program. I never really asked you for anything or sell anything better would mean the world if you could share this video or buy this shirt for yourself or as a gift. Thank you very much.
