I have found a bank account at first page of web site of Ukrainian consulate in Toronto. http://www.ukrconsulate.com/pag/news.html This is account in Ministry of Labor and Social Policy of Ukraine. Thank you for your information, Pawlina.
I have a question about filing cheque to UCSS. Pay To The:"Ukrainian Canadian Social Services, Inc" Right? Then put it in Memo: "Pomich Ukraini Fund" Correct?
Actually, I think they mean to send (mail) it to the UCSS but make the cheque payable to Pomich Ukraini Fund. Although I'm sure they could redirect the funds if you specified accordingly. Fortunately, it is thinking human beings doing this work rather than computers.
