On February 24th, 2022 the world was stunned and horrified when Russian
President, Vladimir Putin
started a war in Eastern Europe by invading Ukraine.
Hundreds of Ukrainians have died so far, including children, while millions have become refugees fleeing their homes and seeking refuge
and safety in bordering European countries like Poland.
One of the pains of war for those on the outside is watching the horror from afar and feeling useless and hopeless every day the
conflict continues.
As the crisis unfolds and our screens are filled with images and stories of suffering many of us are looking for ways to help.
I’ve collected some responsible organisations that are doing critical humanitarian work right now.
If you're in a position to do so please consider making a donation to add to the benefits these efforts can have for the wellbeing
of Ukrainian people - children, women, and men.
Whether you can give $10 or $100, every dollar counts and contributes to helping the people of Ukraine survive the horror of war.
Thank you for sharing your love. xx
