Leamington pensioner raises £600 for Aid for Ukraine appeal by selling flowers and plants he grew himself

Ram Prinjha, 82, raised at total of £1,300 for good causes which also included £500 for the town’s Hindu temple and £300 to St Mary’s Allotments where he grew the plants and flowers.

He also donated £100 of his own money to Aid for Ukraine cause.

This is the third time that Aid for Ukraine, an initiative run by Belveder CiC, has received a generous donation from Ram.

His contributions have made a significant impact, enabling the purchase of crucial equipment for an ambulance.

Two years ago, his donation funded eye surgery for a 14-year-old boy in Ukraine - a life-changing procedure which would not have been possible without his support.

As a token of appreciation for Ram’s ongoing support, a member from the Aid for Ukraine team baked him a raspberry cake.
