A popular restaurant in Etobicoke that was raising money for humanitarian aid in war-torn Ukraine says more than $2,000 worth of donations have been stolen.
“We didn't think that this would happen. We didn't think to tie the boxes to the table or have them mounted down or anything because we didn't think people would actually do that,” Tetyana Barylko told CTV News Toronto Friday morning.
The Mimico eatery has become a hit among Etobicoke’s large but close-knit Ukrainian community in that time, and, as Barylko explained, their fundraising efforts have been received well.But things took a turn on Thursdsay at around 11:30 a.m. That's when Barylko said a man entered the establishment and asked to purchase take-out containers. The one server working at the time processed the transaction and went to the kitchen to grab the items.
After consulting with her parents, Barylko estimates that more than $2,000 in cash donations were stolen. The war in Ukraine has been raging since Feb. 24, after Russia invaded the country following years of aggression.
