Hearts & Hustkas – We Did It!

Working together with the Ukrainian community in Victoria, we raised $15,000 to support Help Ukraine
Vancouver Island (HUVI), a volunteer organization that has assisted more than 1,100 Ukrainians (mostly women and children) who have relocated to Vancouver Island after fleeing the trauma and dangers of the war in Ukraine.

A big THANK YOU to the amazing performers who so generously contributed their time and talents, and to all the dedicated volunteers who have worked so hard to bring this wonderful event to life.
Special appreciation to our co-hosts, Katlia Lafferty and Diana Budiachenko, photographer Vadym Graifer, and to the organizing committee: Pati-Ann Lawe, Alice Bacon, Nancie Hall, Kathy Macovichuk, Dick Newson, Hilary Allan, Jason King, Marilyn Kuss and Wayne Yercha.
