Wonderful work, I bought a few earrings for Christmas presents and they were well accepted. I will be purchasing more again this Christmas.

I am so appreciative of being able to care for Ukraine and its people in this way. I can't go there. Thank you to those who do go. Thank you for supporting the Ukrainians living daily with the struggle and standing firm to care for their people.

I really appreciate the first hand updates about the war on Ukraine. Dr Lara Wieland writes from having been with medical personnel on the front lines several times and uses those times to advocate for support for Ukraine and to provide avenues for financial support.

This organisation deserves everyone's support! While we all shudder at the tragedy of Ukraine, OPT does something about it. Brave, caring people who are making a real difference. Worked with me to organise donation gifts for family & friends this year - I am so proud to gift those certificates! As for the shop items, such care & thought is taken with every item. If you choose one charity this year, be it for $100 or $1000s, make it OPT!

I loved the earrings and especially the trysub pendant. Anything to support the beautiful country of Ukraine. I've restructured my budget so that I can donate a bit more often. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💛💙🌻🦘🇦🇺🐨

This group is wonderful in what they are doing in Ukraine. I'm on a pension and unfortunately can't donate much but I've stopped buying junk food and used that money for donations. I also bought a couple gifts and they are lovely.

I’m incredibly grateful to be in touch with people who are sharing authentic, unfiltered stories—without the distortion of media bias. It's refreshing to hear from those who have experienced the true impacts of war firsthand and are using their voices to not only raise awareness but also actively empower and support others who are still suffering from the continuing effects of conflict. Their efforts to provide real help and guidance to those in need are both inspiring and invaluable, and I feel privileged to be a part of this community dedicated to making a meaningful difference.

It's very important to support Lara and the exceptional work she does here in Australia for Indigenous communities and individuals, as well as in and for Ukraine and Bangladesh. The tshirt and earrings i bought are just beautiful and, as my heart breaks for those suffering in Ukraine, i am proud to wear the jewellery for Lara. Her selfless commitment to others and her innate beauty as she works to lift others up, has inspired me for decades and continues to help me chart my life course. i am forever indebted to her and encourage anyone to get involved and help her and OPT as much as you can manage.
