Ukrainian Creatives still need support

We are grateful for all that Adobe does for the Ukrainian creative community and let us say thank you again. We appreciate your support during the russian invasion of Ukraine.

We are very grateful for 6 months of free use of CC, but the situation in Ukraine is worsened during this time and many of us can’t work as much as it was before the war.

 

russian bombs and missiles are hitting our electrical stations and large energy facilities and leaving us without electricity during the whole work hours and days and it doesn’t help us to grow money. We are risking to left without any money because of such a high level of risks that the powerless situation provides to us.

A lot of creatives who work with companies and markets abroad already knew that people don’t risk ordering some creatives from Ukraine because of the war. The Ukrainian creative community is still struggling with less work and less money. We are trying to fight it all but since October 10 every day bring us new challenges.

Ukrainian money – the hryvnia, was strongly devalued, and now the cost of CC package costs about 1/5 of the monthly salary of the middle designer. Many of us are already on zero point with money but we don’t want to steal and will all politeness and kindness we are asking you about some periods of free use, or a discount on monthly payments, and we will very much appreciate all your help to us.

Ukrainian creatives are holding on, but we need your Adobe help. Keep our projects alive, and help us with payments.


From the bottom of our Ukrainian creative hearts, many thanks to you.

Words cannot adequately express what you're going through right now. So I won't waste your time with platitudes.

I agree with Alex! Ukrainian creatives, indeed, still need support, especially at this time when the energy sector is experiencing colossal damage. And Ukrainians are experiencing notable losses in finance because it's just simply not possible to work without energy. 
Together with that, a huge thank you for your support of the Ukrainian creative community. It means a lot!
