Following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have once again shown their enormous generosity.
On Saturday, the 45-year-old actor announced that he and his wife Blake, 34, will match donations to the UN Refugee Agency in support of Ukrainian refugees up to $1 million.
‘In 48 hours, countless Ukrainians were forced to flee their homes to neighboring countries,’ Ryan wrote on a retweet of a post by the non-profit organization.
He continued, ‘They need protection. When you donate, we’ll match it up to $1,000,000, creating double the support.’
The UN Refugee Agency’s original tweet read: ‘Right now, the crisis in Ukraine is forcing families to flee their homes.
‘Please make a donation today to send lifesaving aid to displaced Ukrainians, and @VancityReynolds & @blakelively will match your gift $1-for-$1 up to $1,000,000.’
