FINAL REVENUE REPORT AND WRAP-UP

Now that both requests have been closed and the raffle has finished, we are happy to announce that we have raised 3379.12 euro* in donations during the drive! Thank you to everybody who has spread word about our campaign and especially to our donors, some of whom have been extremely generous with their support.

The organisation with the highest amount of donations is Fight For Rights, followed closely by Leleka at just 0.2% (or less than 7 euro) difference. Completing the top three is Unite with Ukraine. We’re very happy that all of our organisations have received donations above 200 euro, even if the differences in amounts are stark.

This is from a total of 85 requests and 6 raffle donations. Our total revenue from the raffle was 65 euro.

The vast majority of our donations came from art commissions, with the extra slots we opened up bringing in an additional 161 euro.

One last, more somber note: what we have achieved is great and should be celebrated, but the war isn’t over yet. We encourage you to continue tracking the news and supporting Ukraine’s cause, whether by keeping up with what the organisations we selected are doing, finding new ones, or starting your own local initiative.

That’s all from us! Special thanks to @fandomtrumpshate for providing us with a guide to help with starting the campaign and for offering us support throughout, as well as to all of our contributors for their work and dedication to our cause. 

Thank you all so much for making this happen.

Слава Україні!

Best,

The Miraculers for Ukraine Team

*As per value of USD, CAD and other currency donated in as of 22/05/2022. Because the value of the euro versus the American dollar especially has been shifting a lot, the way this was calculated was that all the USD donations were summed, then converted to euro and added to the euro donation total for each organisation; the same procedure was applied to the CAD. Despite the dollar having increased in value in relation to the euro since the beginning of the campaign, the manual count revealed a sum 60-70 euro lower than the automated calculations we were running earlier (despite the raffle donations being taken into account).  

Please note that the final revenue per category is done with the automated count (by commission price and converted according to the internal conversion rate we used), so the total of all the writing, art, and miscellaneous donations appears 60-70 euro larger than the manual count for the organisations shows. As identifying the processing errors has proved difficult, we have left it as is, but bear in mind there may be slight differences across the categories.

Special Call To Action: Day 80 of the Invasion

May 15th marks 80 days since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In our Special Calls to action on Day 40 (Bucha and Irpin) and Day 60 (Eastern Ukraine and Peace Talks), we covered some of the key events from the invasion so far; the aim of this post is to provide an update on what we mentioned before and introduce anything new.

Heavy trigger-warnings for war-associated atrocities, especially for the picture in the BBC source.

What happened at Azovstal and Bilohorivka

In our last update, we mentioned that the Russian government was targeting the Azovstal steel plant near Mariupol, where both civilians (500) and military (1,000) have been under siege. Since then, all of the civilians have been evacuated, with Ukraine currently in the process of negotiating the evacuation of wounded fighters and medics. Russian troops continue to storm the complex and the Ukrainian military there have said that they will not be surrendering.

In the meantime, bombings in Eastern Ukraine continue, with a recent hit in a school in Bilohorivka, Luhansk region, killing an alleged 60 people of the 90 hiding there (final figures can only be confirmed after the rubble has been cleared, but only 30 people were saved from the rubble). 

Omar Abdi, UNICEF’s deputy chief, additionally called the war a "child rights crisis", citing nearly 100 deaths in just the past month (as of 13/05), the difficulties experienced by the surviving refugees, and the amount of schools hit by heavy artillery. There is also the matter of reports of up to 1.2 million people, among which 210,000 children, having been deported to Russia since the start of the invasion as claimed by Ukraine’s Human rights ombudsman (figures unconfirmed, vary from source to source).

An overview of the current political state of affairs

In our last post we talked about Russia’s refocusing on Ukraine’s east. Ukraine has admitted to heavy losses so far in the region due to the concentration of Russian forces there, but claims that Russian losses are even higher. Putin told German chancellor Scholz that peace talks about putting an end to the conflict have been effectively blocked between the Kremlin and Kyiv. 

In our last post, we also talked about the UN’s General Secretary, Antonio Guterres, visiting Moscow and Kyiv for peace talks; while he was in Kyiv, Moscow carried out an air strike on a missile production factory in Ukraine’s capital, which drew international criticism. 

Meanwhile, both Finland and Sweden have been considering joining NATO for protection, with the former expecting a decision on applying within the next few days. Russia has already responded to this by saying it will need to take "retaliatory steps". Ukraine, in the meantime, has completed another step in its application for EU membership.

The office of Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Irina Venediktova, has also announced the first war crime trial. It will be held against a 21-year-old Russian soldier for allegedly shooting an unarmed 62-year-old civilian. The office claims to be looking into c. 10,700 cases of war crimes and to have identified over 600 suspects.

Call to Action

We are running an additional raffle for our fundraiser until the 20th of May, which you can enter for just 1 euro. All you need to do is fill out the form here with what you would like to commission if you win and upload a screenshot of a donation you’ve made to one of the organisations we support as part of the initiative.

The organisations we have picked work in various spheres and support Ukraine in the current crisis. We urge you to consider donating to them or other organisations that help those affected by the war in Ukraine, and to seek out such that provide relief in the Kyiv area (where we have covered the damages in our previous posts), Eastern Ukraine, and such that support children.

MfU is just one of many fundraising and relief activities being led by citizens around the world. Even if it’s not through us, we encourage you to get involved particularly with monetary donations when possible. Your donation can make a difference in the rapidly worsening situation in Ukraine. 

More information on how to donate as part of the raffle, as well as a list of the participating contributors.
