The people of Ukraine need us to support them.
I don't need to expand on the awful situation Ukrainian civilians are suffering. Many of our readers would like to help.
There are many ways. We have booked accommodation through AirBnB - bought digital prints that once downloaded give funds straight away to the artist, and products on Etsy we don't want to ever receive - just to get some money to the people who need it.
Here are some other ways you can help - as SBI (the wonderful team at the company who host my sites) has advised us:
World Central Kitchen (WCK)
https://wck.org
WCK
provides cooked meals on the ground to communities impacted by natural
disasters or humanitarian crises. Their mission is simple: “When people
are hungry, send in cooks. Not tomorrow, today.”
In support of
refugees escaping the violence, WCK began serving hot, nourishing meals
in Poland within a day of the initial attack and are now set up at eight
border crossings. They are also looking into the possibility of
delivering meals each day to families on the Ukrainian side of the
border, waiting in line across the eight entry points.
The link below takes you directly to their donation page:
https://donate.wck.org/give/236738/#!/donation/checkout
Their
donation process is straightforward. First select whether it’s a
one-time or monthly donation, then choose the amount and fill in your
personal data. Payment options are Google Pay, PayPal, credit card or
bank transfer.
Polish Humanitarian Action (PAH)

Polish
Humanitarian Action is a smaller charity based in Poland. They provide
food and hygiene items along with other stuff that’s needed, both in
Poland and in Ukraine. They set up a permanent mission in Ukraine in
2015 and have been providing support there ever since.
Here’s the link to donate directly to their Ukraine campaign:

family name (surname) and email. From the three check boxes, only the
first one is required.

Let us support Ukraine is in the unfortunate geography to be the buffer zone to one man's ambitions and the rest of Europe.
However you choose to do so, please support the Ukrainian people who have shown incredible courage and fortitude.
