Understanding dementia Book of Short Stories Raising Money for Ukraine Former Hampshire resident Pete Frost is hoping to raise at least £1000 to support Ukraine through the sale of his books. Pete has written two books featuring ‘short cosy mystery stories, all with a twisty ending’; each story is a 5 minute read. Uncle Chris’s Collection of Cra y Short Stories and Uncle Chris’s Second Collection of Cra y Short Stories are available on Amazon and Ebook, with all pro ts going to Ukraine via the charity World Vision. Pete comments: “I am trying to raise at least £1000 (or more) for the Ukraine effort, by working with the charity World Vision, who support children all over the world. They are focusing efforts on Ukraine, and as I already sponsor a child in Africa through World Vision it’s a good fit. I was inspired to write and sell the books by a lady I work with who is from Ukraine.”
