The Russian invasion is turning into an increasingly brutal and bloody conflict in which, unfortunately, civilians are suffering severely. A gigantic wave of refugees who need help is sweeping through the neighboring countries of Ukraine. Fortunately, there are many people of good will who also help with financial assistance.
Roger Federer will donate half a million dollars to Ukrainian children. “We are terrified”
From the beginning of the war, this group was joined by a large group of famous people, including sportsmen. One of them has just become one who has so far not spoken out about the events in Ukraine. On Friday, however, the Swiss decided to speak and published a special statement on social media. He announced in it, inter alia, donating half a million dollars to help Ukrainian children.
– My family and I are terrified of what is happening in Ukraine. Our hearts are broken by the terrible suffering of innocent people. We stand for peace, wrote Federer. We will offer help to children in need from Ukraine. About 6 million of them are currently not in school. We understand how important it is now to give them access to education. We would like to support them in coping with such an extremely traumatic experience. Together with my whole family, I will donate $ 500,000 to ensure that Ukrainian children continue their education, the tennis player announced.
Roger Federer is going through one of the most difficult periods in his career right now. The Swiss has not appeared at court even once since last year’s defeat with (3: 6, 6: 7 (4: 7), 0: 6) in the Wimbledon quarter-finals. This is due to a knee injury that the legendary tennis player has been unable to deal with for a long time and it is still unclear when he will eventually succeed. .
