On Saturday, Treasure Island Wines and Umbriaso Wines are partnering with a Minnesota-based company to raise funds to buy prosthetics for injured Ukrainians.
First by transferring them to the U.S. for medical attention, and then by taking them on trips around the country to help them recover from the traumas of war.
On one of those trips to the Bay Area back in January, the group stumbled upon Treasure Island Wines."They said, hey this is great. And they knew they were going to be supported here," said Jim Mirowski.He and another friend were so moved by the stories they heard that day, they decided to hold a fundraiser this Saturday to support the group.
"They're not just fighting for their country. They really are fighting for the future of Europe and democracy," Mirowski said.And while they say they money raised will immediately go towards a good cause, the gratitude they feel will last forever. "I want to thank them for letting me feel like home here. I can feel the warmth of their hearts," said Eugene.
