A short comic on being hard of hearing, dealing with ableism, and my love of art galleries. Happy Disability Pride Month to all. 🌷 [ko-fi / prints]

Proliska is linked to & verified by the UNHCR.

Ukrainian Red Cross is a branch of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. (I'm not a fan of the Red Cross myself, but it's a legitimate charity.)

Donbas SOS is verified by Euromaidan Press, which Media Bias Fact Check rates as high factual reliability with slight to moderate Left-Center bias.

Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, as stated above and seen in the link, is linked to the UN Foundation.

Voices of Children is verified by The Guardian, who also suggest Sunflower of Peace and United Help Ukraine, which are both Ukranian based charities focused on providing medical supplies and humanitarian aid.

The Jewish Community of Odessa campaign is run by Rabbi Avraham Wolff, who is a highly respected leader of the community who has an extensive history of charity work.

So all of these check out! I'd also encourage people to donate to the European Roma Rights Centre. Romani are among the most vulnerable people in Ukraine and are going to suffer disproportionately from this war. They face persecution and ethnic violence from all sides. Additionally, many Romani are unable to leave Ukraine; even if they wanted to and had the physical means, at the moment Slovakia is the only country which has announced that it won't require documentation from Ukrainian refugees. But Romani have been systemically prevented from obtaining documentation; in 2018, 20% of Roma in Ukraine were stateless. There's no current fundraiser specifically for Ukrainian Roma right now, but the ERRC will certainly get involved in fighting for the rights of Ukrainian Roma.
