I have never donated money in my life before, but what happened yesterday really upset me. Ended up sending some money this morning. I know that my small donation won’t contribute to much, but I am trying to help :D

I hope this post doesn’t break any rules!

    A german twitch streamer made a donation stream today for UNITED24 and he collected about 25500$ after 8 hours.

    it’s called crowdfunding for a reason.

      Exactly, if we all just give ‘not that much’ it might become ‘a considerable amount’ and at some point ‘the necessary investment for resolution’.

      And if you can, consider giving the same amount every month rather than a larger amount once. Policy is made easier if there is a steady amount of money coming in.

      And for anyone reading and on the fence: visit the website. It gives you the option to choose where your money goes (ie the war effort, medical aid, research/education etc) and you can view reports per division.

    You can also volunteer from home. It’ll come up if you search online for the “IT army of Ukraine”.

      Pretty cool! I assume this also works if you’re an English speaker? I’ll definitely look further into this.

        Yes definitely. It’s mostly helping set up DDOS attacks, which is why I can’t link it here since It’s technically illegal.

    I did the economic blackout yesterday but I donated to this charity after seeing the news. I don’t have much either but I hope it helps.

    This is the most appropriate response, I think.

    Well, the most appropriate legal response.
