'I'm grateful for the opportunity to positively impact the world and be a voice for my community'
Sault Ste. Marie's Robert Peace, already known for his volunteer and humanitarian efforts, is launching an intensive and ambitious two-week aid campaign so he can deliver food to troops in Ukraine, and food and assistance to people in Turkey and Syria.
Now he has started a GoFundMe campaign at https://gofund.me/3b1f2299 to raise funds for the victims of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria and the ongoing war in Ukraine, according to a news release. "Every dollar donated will go directly to providing critical assistance to those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and in helping feed those fighting in Ukraine. One year ago today the war on Ukraine began and more help than ever is needed. Two weeks ago an earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and lay ruin to cities much like the bombing has done in Ukraine.”
"I had the pleasure of working with Robert during our relief efforts in Ukraine, and I am honoured to partner with him again," said Laver, president of Dumnezeu Lucreaza Prin Noi. "Robert is a dedicated volunteer with a passion for helping others. I have no doubt that our efforts will make an impact on the lives of those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
