Over the last month we have watched the tragic events unfold and our hearts are broken for those directly and indirectly affected by the attacks on the Ukraine.
-the KMC team
As a team we got together and decided, given our platform we wanted to do anything we can to help. So we have compiled a list of resources and charities that are providing aid to those affected by the devastating events occurring in the Ukraine.
We know everyone’s financial situation is different so if you are not able to donate please share so we can reach as many people as possible.
