One year since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine
Recommending four groups to donate to: 1. https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/home Come Back Alive or Back and Alive, a well-known and reliable group providing equipment to soldiers. They have been working for many years, before the scale of the war increased and the international community started paying attention.
2. https://voices.org.ua/en/ Voices of Children provides psychological and other aid to children affected by war. They have likewise been working with kids from war-affected Donbas even before 2022. They have a Patreon if you'd like to set up a monthly donation.
3. https://u24.gov.ua/ United 24, the official government platform raising funds for specific projects around the categories of military, medical, and reconstruction. Currently raffling off five signed Star Wars posters by Mark Hamill to donors until March 24th, in case you needed more incentive.
4. https://kyivpride.org/en/ Kyiv Pride fights for the rights of Ukrainian LGBTQ+ people, and if there's anything that annoys Putin more than Ukrainians or LGBTQ+ people, it's Ukrainian LGBTQ+ people. Included on the basis of both queer solidarity and annoying the hell out of that homophobic warmonger.
I am adding Save Ukraine which has run successful missions to rescue kidnapped children who were deported to Russia. Many remain in captivity and it is so important to bring these kids, many of whom have family searching for them, home.
US tax deductible donations here. I recommend using that tax deductible link as PayPal appears to be not working well on May 24, 2023.
