A heads up….
I have been advised that the UCSVI is temporarily pausing applications as the current application requests exceed the money available ($100,000).
So far, the majority of the funds have been spent on medical exams, X-rays and blood work required by the federal government.
The UCSVI board are going to go through the applications this week, and as I understand it, will re-open once they know that there is enough money to do so. To confirm - these funds are distributed by the UCSVI - not by HUVI.
In the meantime, if you know of anyone wanting to donate to help Ukrainians on Vancouver Island, now would be a good time to do so.
