Canadian reporter and filmmaker Christian Borys launched a fundraising initiative by selling stickers to support organizations helping children affected by the war in Ukraine. Inspired by a meme called 'Saint Javelin of Ukraine,' Borys asked designer Evgeny Shalashov to create higher-quality illustrations of the meme for stickers and t-shirts. Within a week, the campaign raised over $20,000, which will be donated to the Canadian charity Help Us Help, providing humanitarian aid and educational projects in Ukraine. Borys, who has reported on international conflicts for major media outlets including BBC, CBC, Vice, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, and The Washington Post, has a personal connection to Ukraine, having previously covered the conflict in Donbas and made a documentary about Ukrainian orphans. This project reflects his ongoing commitment to supporting Ukrainian children and humanitarian causes, combining creativity and social activism in response to the ongoing crisis.
