Ukrainian Fundraiser - Kindle book

My husband, John Kachuba, has started a fundraiser for a Ukrainian nonprofit (see link below). ALL money earned through purchasing his Kindle short story collections about war and peace ("There Comes a Season" volume I and II) will be donated. PLUS we will personally match all money earned.



SUPPORT UKRAINE!
You don’t have to be an Ukrainian-American like me to understand the horrific events now unfolding in Ukraine. In There Comes a Season, my short stories collection (e-books), I write about the effects of war, not in terms of battles won or lost, but in the cost to the human psyche, the human soul.
There are consequences of war that remain hidden, buried deep within the minds and hearts of not only the soldiers, but those who wait for them, those who may be many miles removed from the front lines. In two volumes, There Comes a Season tells the stories of some of these people, such as the jaded newspaper reporter who is shaken to his core by the massacre of Lakota Indians at Wounded Knee in 1890; or the personal photographer of Adolf Hitler, who fears for his Jewish wife in 1930’s Germany; or the young man who faces being drafted to fight in Vietnam. Here, also, is the story of the WWII infantryman who returns to Anzio, Italy only a few years after the war to find out why he didn’t die there; the African-American Vietnam vet who returns to an America that has no use for him; the New York deli-store owner who feels threatened in the wake of “9-11,” and the man who is haunted by the memory of his brother, a U.S. Marine who committed suicide in Iraq. Yet, There Comes a Season remains hopeful that, through stories such as these, we may know that war is never the answer.

ALL proceeds from sales of There Comes a Season will be donated to the Ukrainian National Women’s League Association’s (UNWLA) humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine. I will personally match all proceeds from the sale of my books.
