The work of over 40 contributors (many of them women) from across the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia has been published in a new charity book of poetry and short stories celebrating Ukraine.
Hope For Ukraine
All the proceeds from the sale of Hope for Ukraine published by Tim Saunders Publications are being donated to the Sunflower of Peace Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to helping Ukrainians affected by the horrific invasion. This organisation provides medical and humanitarian aid and helps paramedics and doctors in the areas affected by the violence in Ukraine.
“Publishing this book is the best way that I can help Ukraine,” says publisher Tim Saunders. “Words are extremely powerful. Positive words even more so. It took me a while to decide what I could do to help and did consider other fundraising initiatives but for me nothing was as powerful as art and literature. Then I thought about how many of us in the west are guilty of taking hope and freedom for granted. These two themes have become the focus of this book. I have been overwhelmed by the interest in this publication from the media as well as from poets, writers and artists.”
Hope for Ukraine is available as an ebook and paperback from amazon.
