Help Save Lives!
Wahlander is dedicating all proceeds from the songs ”Pick Up the Guitar, Sasha”, “Farmers of Ukraine” and ”Crashing Down” to the struggling and war-torn Ukraine. Revenues include all royalties and any income associated with the songs, such as live performances and merchandise sales. All proceeds will go directly towards purchasing an ambulance and essential medical equipment. As no record company or publisher will take a portion of the proceeds. We urge you to share the songs on social media to help us reach our fundraising goal and save lives.
The fundraiser, ”AmbulanceByWahlander”, aims to secure an ambulance, fully equipped with medicines and essential equipment, and deliver it to Ukraine. The project is facilitated by collaboration with a few the Swedish volunteer organisations which will assist in various ways. Part from listning and sharing the songs, ”Pick Up the Guitar, Sasha”, ”Farmers of Ukraine” and ”Crashing Down” you can donate using Swish: 123 – 672 42 31, Or https://www.gofundme.com/f/ambulancebywahlander (GoFundMe).
Wahlander will use this page to announce forthcoming payments from donators and from the Swedish collecting society (STIM), to which he is affiliated. The song was officially released on March 16, 2024, at 11:49. Therefore, the first revenues will only appear in the payment made on September 17, 2024. The ambulance fundraising will continue until the necessary funds have been raised or at the latest one year after the song’s release, i.e., by the payment made on September 17, 2025. Beyond September 2025, any additional funds raised will continue to support Ukraine for as long as the illegal invasion persists.
”Pick Up the Guitar, Sasha”, ”Farmers of Ukraine” and ”Crashing Down” are available on all streaming services – search the one you are using.
