Just round the corner from where our studio is, there is a place where you can drop donations to Ukraine. They have been incredibly busy driving things from the very beginning of the war and have done some incredible fundraising.
...
I have been thinking of how can ILO support this organization and their cause, so I went to visit them and met Ionut with his young son on a quiet Saturday morning.
If you don't follow them on Facebook, please do, they have frequent requests for specific items and, as we have learnt in the past few crisis, it is so important to give what is most needed.
...
With this in mind, I asked Ionut how could we help. He said that they cannot accept second hand clothes as they cannot travel across borders easily. But that doesn't mean they don't need clothes, so From Bristol with Love for Ukraine are organizing a Christmas Gift appeal. This is a call for new items that can be given to families to have as Chrsitmas presents. Ionut is certain there are families with young babies and children who will spend this Christmas with very limited access to toys and clothing.

So what are we doing at ILO?
...
Well, on our own can't do much, but with your help, we can give new clothes to gift.
We are calling it the 'Let's go Dutch for Ukraine' appeal.
...
With code GODUTCH you get 50% off any ILO, and what you choose goes directly to the From Bristol with Love organization.
...
So with your help, we can give families the gift of a little something for their new baby or small child this Christmas.
...
With Love,
Violeta.
