Hello Friends!
It’s been a few months since we gathered at Reconciliation Ranch and created the music video for
We Are Watching You (Stay Strong).
I want to share the incredible progress—synchronicity and serendipity—that have showed up around our collective energy for Ukraine:
Recalling that our goal is to raise at least $5 million dollars for Razom for Ukraine, here are our results as of 7/5/2023:
- Voice of America News Feature – On 6/27/2023, VOANEWS published a news feature about the project—in Ukrainian! We have republished this video on the Walt Stewart Studios YouTube channel, adding Ukrainian/English subtitles.
- KWVH Radio appearance – On 6/1/2023, Walt along with Adam and Chris Carroll appeared on the Over Easy with Coach show. Video of that appearance is now on the Walt Stewart Studios YouTube channel.
- Total funds raised as of 7/5/2023: $3,205…THANK YOU!!
- YouTube music video views: 1,038 views…our first 1,000 views!
- YouTube subscribers: 73 (up from 3).
- Facebook followers: 171.
- First Meeting With Razom – Walt, Lydia, and Michael held their first meeting with Razom for Ukraine’s social media manager, Olya Sukhopar.
- ManKind Project Newsletter – MKP USA has shared our project via their email newsletter, asking MKP members to support the project.
- Ready Set Drone (YouTube Channel) – Featured our video producer, Mark Caddell, and his use of drone cameras in the music video. This video is also now on the Walt Stewart Studios YouTube channel.
So…STAND BY FOR MIRACLES! You are the community in which miracles happen, and it’s not just for the sake of this project. It’s for each and every one of our lives! As my buddy Michael Fox likes to say: Goodness is contagious(!)
Because of what you all did that spring day, our energy has NOW reached Ukraine.
WHAT’S NEXT?
You know me…and we’re not done yet! Here’s what I’m asking each of you to do:
- If you haven’t yet donated to the GoFundMe, please do so now. For the price of a cup of coffee ($5.00), a million of us could easily hit our $5 million goal.
- Please share all of these YouTube videos with your people.
- Feel free to create your own little short selfie video (on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, etc.) telling people about the project and why you got involved. If you do this, please add this link to your post, along with the hashtag #StayStrongUkraine to drive traffic to the GoFundMe:
You are all very special to me. I think Spirit’s got ahold of this thing and wants us to carry on until peace is back in Ukraine.
Love,
Walt
