Fuel Prices Drive up the Cost of Bread
Inna Kampen’s team has worked tirelessly to distribute bread to people across more than 40 villages and towns in Eastern Ukraine. Usually, their bread reaches 6,600 people every week. However the recent drastic jump in fuel prices, which has been even more pronounced in Ukraine than in the US, has affected the team’s operations. Last week, only 4,500 received bread because the bread makers asked for more money. The volunteers apologized to us for this shortfall. It was heartbreaking to hear their apologies for a situation which wsa obviously outside their control. The team is currently looking for new partners who can provide bread at lower prices.
UTC Donor Volunteers with Dobra Sprava
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Todd Kolod, an American with Ukrainian roots who lives in Spain. A dedicated supporter of Ukraine since 2014, Todd recently traveled there to witness the impact of the humanitarian projects he sponsors. This is how he discovered Ukraine TrustChain. Earlier this year, Todd felt moved to put his commitment into action. This month, he completed a ten-day volunteer tour, during which he personally experienced the vital work of three different teams funded by UTC.
Working closely with the Dobra sprava, Todd helped deliver essential food packages and gifts for children alongside Anastasia’s Love UA team. He also assisted at a local animal shelter for pets displaced by the war and spent meaningful time at Karina’s My ryatuyemo Ukrayinu shelter in Dnipro. In addition to his hands-on help, Todd’s generosity provided critical humanitarian aid and infrastructure for the defenders in the region. We are honored to have such a passionate advocate in our community whose actions continue to make a tangible difference on the ground.
