My name is Christiana (Gorchynsky) Trapani, and I am the owner of Door County Candle Company. I am 100% Ukrainian, and am so incredibly proud of my heritage. Growing up as a Ukrainian American, I was raised with Ukrainian being my first language, which has allowed me to keep connected to friends and family who live there today. As a Ukrainian-American, what’s happening in Ukraine is hitting me, and many others, deeply to my core. We strongly condemn Russia’s shameful and unprovoked war. We are heartbroken, concerned and scared for all of those in Ukraine. This special Ukraine candle is a way I feel we can make a difference and help those in need. 100% of profits from this Ukraine Candle will be donated to Razom for Ukraine, a Ukrainian 501 (c)(3) organization.

My grandfather was from Ukraine, a fact I just recently found out. He died in 1975 here in Wisconsin, and to honor his memory and your country’s fight for freedom, I am proudly buying your Ukrainian candle.

An unspeakable tragedy for the Ukrainian people. I am a teacher and have several students with ties to – and even family members – still in Ukraine.

David Muir (ABC Nightly News) introduced your candles on his broadcast tonight which gave us viewers an opportunity to participate in the support of Ukraine. I never thought I could feel more sadness than the two years of news coverage on the Covid Virus but this atrocity by Putin cannot be put into words; only know our hearts are with the people of Ukraine. Your support through these candles makes a difference and we must all boycott any business or organization that contributes to the Russian economy for the duration it is under the control of Putin. Ukraine will prevail by the sacrifice and courage of its people under the leadership of President Zelensky and set an example for the world of how a nation united achieves what a nation divided cannot. I hope the United States pauses and finds a way to unite for the good of all of us.

Absolutely terrific idea to support efforts dealing with the atrocities of the situation in Ukraine. May you be wildly successful…..and I know you will be after seeing all the national publicity you are getting. You will be able to make a huge contribution to the Ukraine relief efforts. Can’t wait to get the candles (whenever that will be and there is no hurry).

You and your family and volunteers represent the VERY BEST of America and Ukraine. Words cannot possibly thank you enough for the love and care you share. Don’t worry about the timing of shipment…just each of you take care of yourselves as you tackle this immense undertaking. You can blame PBS Nightly News along with the other news outlets, as they fondly featured you this evening. 🙂
Stay safe, and thank you again for representing the best we have to offer in America.

Angie Peltier (verified owner) –
This is just a ‘small’ way to help the people of Ukraine, their family and friends, and well, humanity in general.
I already ordered 2 and am ordering 2 more today. I can’t do much to help but have come up with a way of helping my friends and family open their hearts to our fellow human beings who are being forced to try to survive with. The devastation of the Ukrainian citizens and their land is something we may all have to live with ourselves.
Do you remember those ‘chain letters? Going to use these in the same way but to help people donate finacially. I hope it helps somehow.
God bless you all.
Jean Smith (verified owner) –
I received my candle and it is absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful thing you are doing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the Ukrainian people.

I have burned Door County candles for 25+ years. I felt helpless for the people of Ukraine when this horrific destruction started. I was ecstatic to see when you started to sell these as it’s a small token that I can contribute to the country and people in some way. I received my candle yesterday and I am not planning on burning it but will honor it in a tribute to the people of Ukraine. God Bless you for doing this! I am now ordering one for my mother as she fell in love with mine also.
Michael Cypcar (verified owner) –
I am 1/2 Ukrainian and for most of my life, I never gave it much thought. Now, with this horrible attack by the Russians, and the bravery of
president Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian citizens, I am proud to be Ukrainian! I gave to Samaritan’s Purse for Ukraine, and when I found the
story about Christiana Gorchynsky’s Ukrainian candles, I was very impressed. I ordered two Ukrainian candles last week. I told my friends and
neighbors about Door County candles and I hope they purchase some also.
Keep up the good work Christiana!
