From Yahoo:
“Want to support the people of
Ukraine? These apps and websites can help you send money”
As world leaders have cautioned
for weeks, Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched what President Joe
Biden called an “unprovoked and unjustified attack” on neighboring Ukraine. The
military operation has triggered international condemnation, with fears of mass
casualties, and many are looking to support the Ukrainian people in some
capacity, with donations that go toward medical supplies, humanitarian aid,
psychological services, military equipment and other causes. A handful of
vetted nonprofit organizations have been shared by journalists for those
looking to help, with various sites, apps, social media pages, and crowdfunding
initiatives to provide monetary aid for various charities and platforms.
A few to consider:
Come Back Alive Foundation Founded
in 2014, the Kyiv-based Come Back Alive Foundation is one of the largest
charities in Ukraine, primarily fundraising for Ukraine’s military, to aid
soldiers and volunteers with supplies, including equipment (thermographic
cameras and night vision devices), drones, personal body protection and
specialized software. Co-organizer of the Invictus Games in Ukraine since 2019,
Come Back Alive is a nongovernmental organization that also supports training,
psychological assistance, medical help, and other projects. Its Facebook page
shares stories, photos, and videos. To contribute from abroad, the charity
accepts secure money transfers, crypto donations (Bitcoin), and an option to
contribute via monthly Patreon membership (in one of three options).
Army SOS Similarly, Army
SOS uses donated funds to support Ukrainian soldiers in various ways. As
detailed on its website and Facebook page, the Army SOS Citizen’s Initiative
manages purchases of necessary ammunition, shields, intercommunication and
reconnaissance facilities, uniforms and food supply. “We deliver all goods directly
to the unit’s emplacement and pass them right to the hands of our warriors,”
the Army SOS website says.
United Help Ukraine This
nonprofit organization receives and distributes donations, food and medical
supplies to displaced Ukrainians “affected by Russia’s invasion.” Along
with raising awareness of the crisis in Ukraine with the international
community, the charity’s fundraising activities help wounded Ukrainian
soldiers, and families of wounded and killed soldiers. A PayPal link is
available from the official United Help Ukraine website and its Facebook page.
Red Cross Donations made
to the Ukraine crisis support humanitarian work in the country. The
International Committee of the Red Cross and Ukrainian Red Cross Society
support food-producing initiatives and infrastructure repair (including
water-pumping stations), as well as rebuilding damaged homes, and providing aid
to hospitals, schools, mental health facilities and community centers. Money
can be sent as a one-time donation or monthly contribution to the cause.
Revived Soldiers Ukraine With
a goal “to provide aid to the people of Ukraine, so that they may fulfill
fundamental rights and freedoms,” RSU is a nonprofit whose programs are mostly
focused on medical rehabilitation. As outlined at its website and
Facebook page, donations (through PayPal) assist severely injured soldiers by
supporting medical help and rehabilitation; treat hospital patients wounded in
conflict by supplying emergency medical aid and supplies; and satisfy housing
needs to soldiers of Ukraine and their families, among other efforts.
Other Ukrainian charities
Razom for Ukraine and Sunflower
of Peace are both recommended through a crowdsourced list of fundraisers
and charities put together by Ukrainian journalists. Collected funds go toward
purchasing and distributing first aid kits and medical supply packs to the
doctors and volunteers who treat soldiers on the frontlines, and medical
rehabilitation for those who are injured.
To help children affected by war,
Voices of Children is a charitable foundation that provides
psychological and psychosocial support to children, “to help them overcome the
consequences of armed conflict,” per its website. Donations, which can be made
with a credit card or Google Pay account, go toward art therapy, psychologists
to help children in boarding schools, family therapy, and more.
