Total RAISED FOR ALEX as of April 19, 2022 – 12:00am

$5259.78

Right out of the gate, we need to take a second to thank each and every single one of you who have donated to our small effort to help Alex Dayrabekov continue his self-driven mission to feed, clothe and take care of day-to-day necessities of Ukrainians living through a literal nightmare. If not for you, this wouldn’t be such a success. From T-Shirt sales, to straight up cash donations from every corner of Canada, YOU guys did this. Help from amazing organizations like the Collin Bruce Mortgage Team in Lethbridge AB who graciously offered up $1500.00 (you rock, Collin,) to incredible anonymous donors who have given upwards of $1000.00, the true spirit of the majority of Canadians has been overwhelming.

Join us in supporting an amazing cause in Ukraine.

We will be matching donations of the sales of these amazing T-shirts from our friends at @957CRUZFM

The funs raised will be directly given to their contact and friend; Alex, who lives in Ukraine and is supporting his community pic.twitter.com/kakFmYweYS

Enter Lochlin Cross

Edmonton’s 95.7 CRUZ-FM Morning LOCKERoom Host & Co -host of The Dean Blundell Show Podcast Lochlin Cross approached the team with this idea. The ‘merch’ is his baby. He thought instead of being total greedy dicks, we do something good with it. Combined with the LOCKERoom’s merchandise page, the two entities joined forces to come together for Alex and his important cause. 100% of the proceeds after cost go directly to Alex.

“He’s ground zero. We’re putting money directly in the hands of a guy who has the ability to get it to the people who need it. There is no middleman here. Dollar in is dollar spent for the people of Ukraine.” – @LochlinCross

We aren’t Finished Yet

Our deadline to reach $3000.00 was April 30th, 2022. We’ve exceeded that with 11 days in the bank. We’ve resolved to keep pushing on and hope to get it to $10,000 by the deadline now. We knew our audience was generous, but your spirit and goodwill exceeded our goal in no time flat. On behalf of Alex and the neighbours he serves, we cannot thank you enough. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this into the home stretch. Slava Ukraini!
