Icecat and FuturumShop Set-Up Charity for Ukrainians

“19 Ukrainians and 100 Dutch people together form the FuturumShop team. A nightmare arose last week”, says Harmen van der Meulen, CEO of Futurmshop.com. “Air raid shelters, broken cars, smashed bombs, fleeing, colleagues not being able to leave, families waiting 40 hours for the border, or being stuck in Kharkiv… a rollercoaster of misery and emotions for our people.”

The first FuturumShop Ukrainer arrived in Apeldoorn yesterday. “We arrange everything: for colleagues from Ukraine, for family, for friends, for friends of friends, for friends of friends of friends. Transport, housing, and many more. Everything what is needed, no matter who it is”, Harmen continues.

“But there is more, because what do you do when you have just fled from Ukraine with your children? Or left your husband behind at the border and full of emotions and having to move on? Then you start with the initiative by Ukrainians for Ukrainians: https://uaid .charity/ That’s what Marina did!”
