Dayton at Work and Play: The Sunflower
The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine, and it’s become a symbol of solidarity during the Russian invasion. Sunflowers can self pollinate, but bee pollination is helpful to sunflowers – especially in times of stress. My image of bees on a sunflower symbolizes helping the people of Ukraine.
My friend Julie Riley of Julie Riley Art found a way to help the people of Ukraine during this time of stress. She auctioned off a painting called “Sunflowers of Hope” and sent the $1,000 she raised to a nonprofit in Moldova that is helping women and children who are fleeing from Ukraine. If you’d like to give money to support that nonprofit go to https://stellasvoice.org/ukraine
Yesterday my wife and I donated money to the Lutheran World Relief effort to support refugees from Ukraine with food, shelter and medical care. You can donate at https://lwr.org/
Catholic Relief Services, UNICEF, Amnesty International and many other nonprofits have also rushed in to help. If you donate any amount of money to any of these groups, I’d like to send you a signed 8X10 print of this image at no charge.
I’ll print up to 50 copies of the photo and send them to those who have donated. Just email me at [email protected] and tell me you’ve given money to help Ukraine and tell me your address so I can send you a print.
