The power of coffee cups: the first month report

Oct 27, 2022

Hi!

New tradition – to write you when it’s no power.  Sitting in the candles’ kingdom & waiting for pizza (tried to order delivery so let’s see if it works). 

Today letter will be short. It’s mostly thank you message for support & report on my spending #warcoffee money. 

As I promised, 50% on a monthly basis I’ll be sending to Ukrainian Armed Forces. They help me to stay alive, write you & have dreams to travel around the world (yes-yes, I have heavy suitcases of dreams).

This month you’ve bought me tons of coffee (for 5000 dollars). Let me show you all the way.

  • I’ve withdrawn 5022 dollars to my Payoneer account (there’s a Stripe option too, but we don’t have Stripe in Ukraine). By the way, buymeacoffee make payouts only on Wednesdays. So I had to wait.

  • From Payoneer I sent  5000 dollars to my Ukrainian card. 100 dollars – Payoneer or bank (whatever) commission 

  • So 4900 dollars were converted to UAH (Ukrainian hryvnia). 1 dollar = 36,57 UAH

  • 179 186 UAH as a result. 90 000 UAH I sent to United24 for Defense & Demining. 

(other part? It’ll be for after victory worldwide tour). 

90 000 UAH is a large sum to be send in one payment. Next time I’ll be dividing for several payments (as I worry if everything is ok, questions from bank etc.).

Hope I wasn’t extremely boring with these mathematics things.

Now you see the power of coffee cups. So next time (in any life situation) when you think ‘OMG! What can I change? It’s just one voice’, please, know that your voice matters. Your voice is a part of powerful choir of humanity.  

Thank you for reading this. Thank you for following this #warcoffee story. Thank you for your support. You matter! 

Candle hugs,

Yara (or Yaroslava)

ps. Pizza arrived. 

Enjoy this post?
