Make a Difference

Day 500+ of Russia's "3-day special military operation"

This is how long a nation of resilient, strong and innovative people, with the support of like-minded nations, have fought for their right to live in freedom and for their very existence.

We have all seen the news and the brutal and unwarranted tactics by the Russian nation as it attempts to break the spirit of the Ukrainian people, especially over the bitter winter months. For me, this has had a very personal impact as I am a first generation Ukrainian-Australian and still have family fighting in Ukraine.

Whilst I was born in Australia and consider myself a proud Aussie I have always had a strong sense of and pride in my Ukrainian heritage. My parents were always grateful for the chance to make their new home in a free  Australia after the pain and terror of WWII but regularly reminded us of our roots and the richness of our Ukrainian culture. They taught us to be proud of our family history and heritage but love, respect and be grateful for our Australian lives and the freedoms that life provides to us.

With enormous levels of support from many nations including Australia, Ukrainians are still today fighting valiantly for their freedom and the right to live in peace. For this reason Beautifully Gifted will continue to donate 10% from every sale to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

By purchasing from Beautifully Gifted's unique gift range you not only receive a piece to own and love created by talented craftspeople, you can also make a difference in the life of someone who at this time desperately needs support.

This is a way we can all make a difference and that for me that is a win, win!
