Anna

(Ver. 2 updated Aug 13th, 2024) I will be reformatting this and adding more in the future when I have time.

Also a quick note, all of the groups I have found through twitter have been around long enough for them to be vetted by each other and the brigades they work with. In fact, a lot of these groups collaborate with each other too. Those that are in the fight for Ukraine have been diligent in calling out those that are grifters. Word spreads around quickly if an organization doesn't show up with what they promised. They also use their social media (often Twitter) as a means of transparency for their work.

Remember: When considering on whether to donate, always use your best judgement and donate to those you trust if you do not see what is listed is up to your standards.

Multi-Purpose

United 24 has various fundraisers dedicated to defense and drones, medical aid, rebuilding Ukraine, humanitarian demining, and science and education. You can pick which one you want to contribute to under their various projects.

Liberty Ukraine uses funds for humanitarian aid, medical supplies, protective gear and equipment, and rehabilitation therapy. You can choose which campaign of theirs to donate to.

Come Back Alive is a charitable foundation that supports Ukraine's military with competent assistance while also focusing on security and defense. They also have projects that use sports to help veterans rehabilitate. You can choose which campaign to donate to.

Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation works to help both civilians and Ukraine's army. You can choose to donate to an active project or any of their general campaigns. Civilian aid campaigns cover temporary housing, supporting crisis and emergency responses, schools, demining, and healthcare. Military aid campaigns cover drones, optics units, communications equipment, and support of air defense teams.

Food Aid

World Central Kitchen works with local partners wherever they are providing food aid. They make sure meals and meal kits are what the local population eats. Even though there is no separate fundraising campaign for Ukraine (that I can see), they still do great work.

Animal Rescue

Hachiko Foundation works to help displaced pets and strays in frontline areas. They help with veterinary care, outdoor shelters, setting up feeding stations, and rehoming animals.

Medical Aid

Hospitallers (Website) is a volunteer organization of paramedics that was founded in 2014. They evacuate the wounded, provide medical aid on the frontlines, assist in rehabilitation, and transfer of the deceased to burial sites. They are also supported by Ukraine Charity. Visit Hospitallers' website to see how many they have evacuated, different methods you can donate, and more information about them.

Other

Saint Javelin (Twitter; Website) is a great place to get apparel, gear, and other cool loot to show your support for Ukraine. They don't take donations, but instead raise funds through their shop with a portion of their sales going towards humanitarian aid and critical items needed by the defenders (generators, pick-up trucks, medical supplies etc). Part of their shop has items made in Ukraine to support Ukrainian businesses. Overall, their products are high-quality. I include them due to their impactful presence in the Twitter community I follow and how they make Ukraine visible in an alternative way. Consider buying someone a gift from their shop.

The Kyiv Independent (Twitter; Website) is a great English language resource for news about Ukraine. I include them because I think supporting good journalism is incredibly important, especially now when the information space is fraught with Russian propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation. My followers have probably noticed I've pulled a lot of quotes from their stories in an effort to amplify Ukrainian voices and experiences. Look on their website for more information on different way to support them, such as their Patreon.

If you're on twitter, there are a number of groups and people that fundraise for Ukraine and for specific units fighting on the frontlines. If there is no official website, a PayPal for donations is listed in their profiles. When considering on whether to donate, always use your best judgement and donate to those you trust if you do not see what is listed is up to your standards.

@/Teoyaomiquu almost always has a fundraiser for Liberty Ukraine with a specified purpose. At the time of writing this, he is currently raising funds for engineering equipment such as excavators. One such excavator is already in Kursk. Follow him to stay up to date with what he's fundraising for.

Dyga's Paw (Twitter: @/dzygaspaw) is a smaller group that has recently raised funds for starlinks, drones, batteries, and Ecoflow generators. You can look at the fundraising campaigns they currently have on their website.

@/DefactoHumanity represents and founded Planet of the People with their website U(a)nited for Freedom. She frequently posts updates about their fundraisers and what their partners need. They are known for providing Frontline medical aid supplies, protective equipment and other military aid, technical equipment (starlinks, drones, scopes, etc), and infrastructure equipment (generators, vehicles, power stations, etc). They even have a merch store of the battalions they partner with if that's your jam. Here is their link tree if you wish to explore more. And in case you're curious, there is an article bout the founder here.

@/wilendhornets (Website) specialize in making high quality drones that have gotten a lot of praise from Ukraine's army. They have attracted a lot of media attention too. Check out their website for the list of articles that have been written about them. Their Twitter is very active with strike footage.

Ants Kitchen Hub (@/ants_kyiv) is a volunteer kitchen that makes dry rations for the Ukrainian army. They are more active on their other social media. To learn more about them, check out their link tree.

@/frontlinekit (Front Line Kitchen) is represented by Richard Woodruff. Originally they made shelf stable food for the Ukrainian army, but now their fundraising has branched out to other campaigns such as raising funds for medical supplies and drones. They are a well known group that many battalions have come to for help.

@/bekamaciorowski (Rebekah Maciorowski) is as combat medic and nurse who helps provide medical care to soldiers and civillians at the frontlines. She raises funds for medical supplies and other equipment, but also helps train soldiers in first aid. More of her social media that features her work can be found in her link tree.

@/UkraineAidOps (Website) is another organization battalions frequently go to for help. They fundraise for all sorts of equipment from medical supplies to drones. If you're interested, they also have a shop with patches from different brigades and flags signed by soldiers. Their shop also includes a separate section called the Victory Gallery where artifacts from the war are turned into art. This includes shells that are painted on, scrap metal from downed enemy planes are turned into keychains, and pieces of a rocket are turned into lamps.

Chris Garrett is the co-founder of Prevail. His organization deals with humanitarian demining as well as training for trauma care, training of bomb disposal, and education to the public. Prevail works with local agencies in Ukraine as well as the army.

Project Konstantin (Twitter; Website; Linktree) is still going strong after the death of their founder, British paramedic Peter Fouché. His digital ghost can be found here. They collaborate with the military, thus giving them an insight into what is dearly needed. They often raise funds for starlinks, personalized first aid kits (IFAKs), generators, portable power stations, and other nonlethal military equipment. I regret forgetting them the first time this post went around. Visit their website to see everything they have done and more. It has more information on what and how they do it than this post can cover.

One Team One Fight (Twitter; Website; Linktree) has some of the original members that worked for Ukraine Aid Ops. They formed their own group after differences with the previous one, and are still helping Ukraine. They are very visible on various social media showing what they have accomplished in their deliveries to various brigades. They're another group that seeks to bring starlinks, drones, medical supplies and protective gear to the battalions that come to them for help. Check out their website for more information on their current fundraisers, their achievements, and received recognition.

NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade (Twitter; Website) Another small group that focuses their funds on delivering drones, generators, vehicles, and saving the occasional furry companion. They are very diligent in their updates for their fundraising campaigns. Check out their website for more information and the articles written about them.

Postmaster General Boomer (Twitter; Website) focuses on humanitarian aid, animal aid, and logistics. Boomer is the beloved pet of one of the founders and the secret boss/mascot. They have many transparency reports and are diligent in reporting the various "tours" they do in getting supplies where they are needed to go. They are based in Germany but have built up many connections during their existence. They have also worked closely with Ukraine Aid Ops.

shall never reveal the best of you

You are eleven-twelve-thirteen and you fight for scraps of safety and you are vicious when you’re backed into a corner. You jot down improvements in the margins of your potions textbooks. You whisper spell incantations under your breath, invent better and more powerful curses. You protect yourself however you can.

-

Or: In defense of Severus Snape.

O, Mine Enemy - Severitus

When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.

Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.

Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Suspiria (Snarry; NSFW)

You like to cut yourself on his bones, and he likes to let you.

I Know Not and I Cannot Know; Yet I Live and I Love

Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.

(No) Difference (LJ; AO3)

Severus discovers that the Muggles are right: the Bard does indeed have a quote for every occasion .

"If you prick us, do we not bleed?

… And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"

“The Merchant of Venice,” Act III, Scene I

the streets outside your window overflooded (people staring, they know you've been broken)

severus snape before, during, and after the war.

he wanted to save the children, every single one of them, but every time he made up his mind that this year would be the last time, that this time he’d do something, he’d get up, and walk into the teacher's lounge, and tell them all what’s what –

all he could think of was the times he’d done it as a child himself. when he’d gone into the teacher’s lounge and begged them all to do something. begged them all to believe him. about his father, about the marauders, about any of it. or all of it.

the wizarding world is simply not a world where children get saved.

Rue & Rainflower

Severus courts Death.

Or, 13+ times Severus didn’t die, and 1 time he did.

I hope this comes back to haunt you

Severus Snape, from first curse to first kill. Or: The making of a Death Eater.

The Courage to Live

Upon surviving the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus Snape is at a loss. For nearly twenty years, he devoted his life to defeating the Dark Lord and protecting Harry Potter. Now, with the war over and the Boy-Who-Lived safe, he finds he has precious little left to fight for — until a chance therapy session shows him that he ought to be fighting for himself.

With the war coming to a close and Wizarding Britain starting to rebuild, Severus starts on a journey to find meaning and joy in a life that’s given him little of either, discovering what it truly means to value himself and his own happiness.

(Translation in Russian at the end of the first chapter!)

a daily dose of sunshine

Severus Snape was 18 years old.

Today was November 8th, 1977.

And on May 28th, 1978, he was going to kill himself.

For the sixth months leading up to it? Severus was going to be happy. Even if he had to make it with his own hands.

To Sever Always (To Heal Wounds)

A study of Severus Snape's two greatest spells.

the wild-eyed boy from cokeworth

In 1969, Severus Snape meets the two greatest loves of his life.

The first is Lily. The second is a voice that drifts out of the shabby record store that's crammed between the butcher's and the dirty street.

In Silence

After the Shrieking Shack Incident, Severus Snape ceases to exist.

Much to the dismay of all involved.

The Fields of Summer

His past was bleeding into the present, just as his future was bleeding out of the gaping wound in his neck. And since memories were useless to a dead man, Snape plucked them out of his mind and gave them to The Boy Who Lived. He didn’t realize that in so doing, he’d forget her.

seventeen moons

“The scar is small, at least,” Pomfrey says, pulling the bandage snug around the cleaned wound. There’s a pity in her voice that makes Severus want to throw up again. “It will be easily covered.”

Dumbledore catches him inspecting it, as if mesmerized. “You are lucky to have survived at all,” the Headmaster says.

Severus does not say I don’t feel very lucky because it is stupid and obvious. Instead, he says unsteadily, “I want to press charges, sir.”

Pomfrey stills, tightening the bandage to the point of discomfort.

“Remus Lupin would be executed,” Dumbledore says. “The Ministry takes a dim view of werewolves who infect other wizards.”

Dear Severus Snape (Snarry)

In the aftermath of war, Harry tries to pull his life back together. Guilty of all the blood on his hands, he seeks a way to deal with his grief.

He begins to write letters to the late Severus Snape, wishing he was able to reconcile with a dead man. Will Harry receive the closure he needs?

Dear Harry Potter

***The Sequel to "Dear Severus Snape"

Contains the letters that Severus wrote to Harry, but never sent, as well as their lives a few years after getting together.

Portrait of a Sociopath as a Loving Mother

Lily Evans got described by many adjectives: vivacious, charming, bright, natural, talented, brave, funny, witty, kind, popular...Truly, she was an exceptional witch who for some reason left behind her a trail of deeply troubled individuals. Answer to the question: What would change in the story if Lily Evans had been born a sociopath is: not necessarily anything.

The Heart of the Sun (Snarry)

Harry and Severus unexpectedly enacted a handfasting ceremony at last year's Beltane. Now, nearly a year and a day later, as Harry prepares for the next Beltane celebration at Godric's Hollow, he remembers their procession through the holidays of the sun—and wonders about its ending.

A Thousand Words Paint a Picture (Snamione)

Severus revisits his life, in his own words, one colour at a time.

But love, as it turns out, doesn’t fit neatly into the palette.

Desolation Row - Snarry

five stages of grief, prison!fic style. for warnings, please see notes.

Conditionally

Harry finds out that he's Snape's son. It goes as badly as possible.

Ab Intra - Snarry

Severus Snape has been in prison for the past six years, but it’s not what you think—life in Azkaban is never boring. Yaxley’s atrocious gang is on the rampage (again), the canteen’s newspapers are absolutely scandalous, kitchen duty pays well, and smuggling in potions from time to time grants Severus protection and free tobacco.

His peace of mind is disturbed when Harry Potter comes to visit.

(Now, surely a mischievous secret must be hiding behind that. Only it’s not the one Severus thinks.)

Available in English, Polish and Chinese.

Ab Extra - Snarry

After seven years in Azkaban, Severus is finally free. Unemployed and homeless in a world that has moved on without him, he has no other choice but to try and rebuild his life from the ground up. In the process, he will have to endure: a cursed apartment that breaks its own furniture for fun, a remarkably round owl called Britney Spears, and Harry Potter, who is obsessed with a potion that does not exist and has a soft spot for floral patterns and nail polish.

(Or: when Severus Snape was fifteen, he made a terrible mistake. When he was forty-six, he made it again.)

Vox Severus

When Severus Snape's voice changes in fourth year, everyone notices.

End Racism in the OTW: After Life with Severus

He knew He was dead. It had been a bad death – as deaths go. Not that Snape was an expert – having only done it this once.

You're Going To Reap Just What You Sow

Oh it's such a perfect day

I can't make it to your wedding (but I'm sure I'll be at your wake) (Snupin)

A love story, of sorts, of the walking wounded.

Regulus's Worst Memory

On the eve of Snape's Worst Memory, Regulus Black is left to pick up the pieces

A dealer, not a Death Eater

It should've been simple: Severus loves Lily, Lily loves Severus, and they live happily ever after - but their dreams are shattered when powerful anti-Muggleborn laws are introduced and Lily's promising career in the Ministry is ruined.

Unwilling to leave the magical world, disgraced brewer Severus struggles to keep them afloat - but when he uses the profits from his illegal potion deals to pay their rent, Lily's terrified that the aurors will swoop and send him to Azkaban.

Fearful of fending for herself in a hostile society, the pressure of being a second-class citizen pushes Lily towards the only people fighting for her rights: Severus' sworn enemies.

Severus, haunted by his Muggle upbringing, is determined not to let history repeat, but can the two of them succeed when the magical world is paved with danger - from the rich promises of Lucius Malfoy to the lure of the Death Eaters, and the ever-seductive call of the Dark Arts?

[On hiatus: author illness. Explanation at the end of chapter 162.]

Bottle It Up

His aunt and uncle, by virtue of necessity, had let it be known that Harry was disabled (it was hard to hide an ambulance showing up in the middle of the night, and Harry’s teachers had needed to know anyway) but they had made it very clear: Harry’s condition was disgusting and shameful. Harry was disgusting and shameful.

Or, the one where Harry learns that he doesn't have to go it alone.

Sequel

blessed

There is a fundamental truth about the world, and it is that some people are blessed, while others are not. Severus Snape is quite decidedly not.

Or: The radicalisation of Severus Snape.

Snake Charmer

Harry has feelings about Severus' damaged voice. Severus decides to return the favour.

Catch and Release

Prompt: Ron walks in on the couple in an intimate moment.

Summary: Harry has a “tell,” when he needs affection. Ron never realized Severus had the same one.

A/N: Written for the Snarry A Thon 2011, but never submitted because it was a last-minute story and not exactly adhering to the prompt.

Forgive me, Lord

Forgive me, Lord, for I have loved.

Harry wasn’t looking for salvation. Severus had already given his life to God — and now, he is asked to surrender something even holier.

A story of faith undone, devotion reforged, and love born in the ruins of guilt.

(Also gently inspired by the devastating beauty of Fleabag — and the priest who never stood a chance.)

The Dish Best Served Cold

Harry's tired of Snape's bad teaching. So Gryffindor House takes it upon themselves to teach Snape a little lesson. Or at least, to make his job grading a little harder. But they should've remembered that Snape fights dirty...

A Modest Proposal

Shortly after the war, Severus Snape proposes to Harry Potter. This is not what Harry expected.

The Syntax of Things

A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"

...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

Contempt

Harry hates Snape, and he always will. (He will, won’t he?)

Others in series: devotion, lovestruck, hatefuck, sunkissed, spellbound, snowfall

The Chaos of His Stars

When Severus Snape wakes from an injury sustained during an attack on the Ministry, he’s surprised to find Harry Potter by his bedside. Harry Potter, who he’s been dreaming about for the last three months and he’s loved in secret for longer than he cares to remember.

Waiting to Divide

Harry always thought soul mates were the domain of overly-soppy romantics. What he didn't realise was that they were very real, very dangerous, and very inconvenient...especially when your soul mate is the very dead Severus Snape. Fortunately, with the help of his friends and a Time Portal, he's able to get past that pesky obstacle...and finds his life completely changed.

Acceptance

It all started with an unexpected meeting at King's Cross at the end of Harry's first year. The next thing Severus Snape knows he's stuck with the Potter brat.

This is a Snape is Harry's father story.

Chosen (Snarry)

In a world where nothing other than being a war orphan is particularly special about Harry Potter, there is not one adult in his life who takes an interest in him, absorbed as they are in their own problems and lives.

Until Severus Snape comes to Hogwarts.

Pacify!verse

2. to damage badly : ruin

“You think this will ease your suffering,” Severus said, squeezing Harry’s wrists still clasped in his hands. “But it won’t. It will destroy you.” I will destroy you.

“I want you to,” Harry murmured, and Severus' resistance wasn't enough to keep him from being pulled closer, Potter’s breath feathering across his lips. And in some ways, the fact that his eyes were closed made it worse - made the words whispered against his mouth all the more obscene: “I want you to tear me apart.”

***

Harry and Severus tumble into an intensely inappropriate physical relationship after events at Headquarters spiral out of control. Severus, digging his heels in, tries to stop, but he is just not strong enough.
