Victoria Miniatures Ukraine Fundraiser Launch March 21 2022

 

Greetings.

Like people all over the World, I have been distressed and heartbroken by the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine and the suffering playing out daily on our screens.  I am seeking to raise funds for the UNICEF Ukraine Emergency Appeal.

Many of you will remember the Victoria Miniatures Australian Bushfire fundraiser from 1999, which I set up in response to the horrors unfolding on my doorstep.  The incredible efforts made by Vic Minis supporters all over the World, resulted in $30,000 AUD being donated to the Australia RSPCA, to help wildlife, pets and livestock impacted by the fires.

I am calling again on this wonderful Hobby community.  I am offering an Exclusive Miniature  ‘Kateryna and Sergiy’, Sculpted by Patrick Keith. They are available as a .STL download, and as a fine resin kit, cast by our friends at Trenchworx.  I would be thrilled if you could participate in any way you can. This may be by purchasing the Miniature, making your own charity donation, or simply by helping spread the word.

Thank you,
Victoria Lamb.

FAQ.

Why did you choose the Kateryna and Sergiy miniature?

This piece was commissioned a few months ago, and was intended to be part of our Free Mini of the Month collection. However recent events and the need for expediency has seen Kateryna and Sergiy quickly re-deployed. With a little deft reworking by Patrick Keith, I believe they make the ideal duo for this cause. For me, they reflect something of the courage and humanity of the Ukrainian people.

Can I contribute some other way?

Sure, if you want to contribute directly visit the UNICEF website.

Will Victoria Miniatures profit from this?

No. Profit is not our intention. We have chosen to donate 80% of gross sales. The Remaining 20% will help cover our costs, including admin, manufacture and Paypal fees among other expenses.

How long will the fundraiser last?

At this time, I do not have an end date in mind. As long as the miniature continues selling I will keep it going. I will post advance notification if I intend to wrap it up.

Do I have to pay shipping?

Our usual shipping charges apply to the physical miniature. The .STL download does not incur shipping charges.

How do I know the money has been donated to the UNICEF?

I am committed to transparency. Our record on the Bushfire Fundraiser shows our track record. I will post screenshots and share any correspondence from UNICEF Australia including receipts. Both here and on my social media channels.

When will the money raised be donated?

I want UNICEF to receive the funds as soon as possible, so I intend to do it weekly, depending on sales. I will post screenshots here and on our social media channels.

I have another question.
