Fort Lauderdale, Florida, March 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McGuire Hope Foundation announced today that it is donating $20,000 to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to provide immediate relief to neighboring countries, including Poland, Moldova, and Romania that are welcoming refugees from Ukraine.
“I am concerned about the conflict in Ukraine and Europe and across the globe. The strength and courage of the Ukrainian people are an inspiration to the world, and we are glad to do our part to support them in this time of need,” said David McGuire, Founder & Director of the McGuire Hope Foundation.
The United Nations estimates that more than 800,000 civilians have fled Ukraine. McGuire Hope Foundation’s donation to IRC will total $20,000 and provide immediate relief to refugees in need of emergency cash to meet basic needs, additional support for vulnerable displaced women and children, and the delivery of life-saving information (such as legal rights and accommodation) through IRC’s established digital tools for people who are in transit or starting life in a new country.
