The fundraising campaign for "Okhmatdyt" hospital's reconstruction continues
The initiative of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky United24, together with Monobank, announced a fundraising campaign for Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital reconstruction.
Only during the first three hours Ukrainians donated more than UAH 100 million.
It is important to understand that the start of donations was announced at 5:40 p.m., and already at 8:38 p.m. it became known that the required amount had been collected. Business representatives will also contribute very actively.
The goal was to collect UAH 100 million, but after reaching that mark, they decided to continue the fundraising campaign.
We need to make the clinic better than it was! This will be our answer to the monsters, — said Monobank’s statement.
As of 11:47 a.m. on July 9, 200 million hryvnias had been collected for the hospital's reconstruction. Only an hour had passed, and Ukrainians had donated another 10 million.
Since the goal is UAH 250 million, you still have the opportunity to join the fundraising campaign.
