When 13-year-old Blake Symchych saw what was happening in Ukraine on the news, he knew he wanted to help. Blake goes to MacKenzie middle school, and he went around to all the classes and asked students for donations.
In four days, from tuesday to friday, we made 672 dollars.
Blake donated the money to the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund earlier this week, and he hopes that his story encourages kids across the country to do the same.
I encourage all the kids in schools across Canada to raise money for Ukrainian families. The last thing I'd like to say is it's better to be kind and do what's right, than to act rude to impress your friends.
