Lending a Hand

It is easy to feel powerless when we see what is happening in Ukraine. Many people are helping, for example by raising funds.

• fund-raising – activity done to collect money (for a charity, school, political party, etc.)
• halfway through – here: already we have collected half of the money we hope to collect
• to pledge to donate – to promise that you will give money, time, etc.
• to show solidarity – to show that you support (the ideas of) other people
