Watching the crisis in Ukraine unfold can feel overwhelming and makes one ask the question, “What can I do to help?”

We’ve complied 4 inspiring stories of people who are Doing the Doable to make a change and assist Ukrainian refugees.

myTalkers For Ukraine

MyTalk107 is a longtime partner and friend of Alight. Radio talk show host Bradley Traynor traveled with us to Uganda and Rwanda and has supported Alight for many years. Seeing what was happening in Ukraine and wanting to make a difference, the crew at myTalk came to Alight with a plan. They wanted to use their platform to raise funds to support Ukraine. Starting with a goal of $10,000 they quickly surpassed it, leading them to change their goal to $100,000! The myTalkers showed up with immense abundance and raised a total of $128,000 all to support Ukraine!
