We’re asking Texans to share a message for the people of Ukraine. Add yours here.
Few of us can imagine what life is like for millions of Ukrainians. Families forced to flee. Citizen soldiers taking up arms to defend their country against Russia’s invasion. So much loss.
Many Texans have prayed for the Ukrainian people. Some have donated to relief efforts. A few brave Texans have even traveled to Europe to help refugees or volunteered to help combat wartime sex trafficking.
The Star-Telegram is collecting messages from Texans to the people of Ukraine. We will translate your words and share them with agencies helping refugees, with our political leaders involved in the crisis, and on social media where Ukrainians may see them.
Add your message on the form below, and thank you.
