This jam is now over. It ran from 2024-10-04 09:00:00 to 2024-11-04 11:00:00. View 305 entries

We are asking you to join our Jam with your creations and share a word about our initiative with your friends and community, so more creators could join us. The jam will last for one month, and we plan to set the price at 8 dollars. The scope of the project depends only from your activity, and the sum raised. The war in Ukraine is not just about the front line but also about the missiles and drones intentionally targeting Ukraine to destroy everything in their path - power plants, schools, kindergardens, playgrounds and hospitals. 

The recent attack on the largest children's hospital in Ukraine - Okhmatdyt, in July 2024. The main building was severely damaged and the block of toxicology was completely destroyed. During this massive shelling another maternity hospital in Kyiv was also damaged. In total on July 8, 38 people were killed, including 6 doctors and more than 100 people were injured. Some of the children who survived the attack died a few days later, unable to withstand the cessation of treatment, chemotherapy, dialysis, and from injuries received.
