Retailer of the famous Danish designer in the United States, Citizen Brick wrote about it on their Facebook page.

"We made as many as possible in a frantic 24 hrs, with the CB crew coming in on their day off to print. We know there were some folks who tried to get one and couldn't. We hope they'll consider making a direct donation to a relevant charity nonetheless", – it is said on the company's Facebook page.

The auction raised $16,540. The entire amount was donated to the charity Direct Relief, which specialises in providing emergency medical care around the world. Currently, the organisation is cooperating with Ukraine’s Ministry of Health.
