The world is watching in horror. The attack on Ukraine not only signifies a brutal and senseless attack on democracy, but the ramifications from this are endless. From the countless deaths, refugees, ecological damage, economic fall-out and the now ever concerning fears of additional sieges from other world powers.
Every move and decision that is made regarding Ukraine affects us all. More obviously, but still not enough to stop the results will effect innocent children, people and pets.
Below are charities that have been vetted, but as always use your best judgment and research before sending any donations.

Help Save Children in Ukraine

Save the Children has been operating in Ukraine since 2014, delivering essential humanitarian aid to children and their families. Your donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund can help provide children and families with immediate aid, such as food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support and cash assistance. Together, we can protect children in crisis.

The International Committee of the Red Cross
The work of the ICRC is based on the Geneva Conventions of 1949, their Additional Protocols, its Statutes – and those of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement – and the resolutions of the International Conferences of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The ICRC is an independent, neutral organization ensuring humanitarian protection and assistance for victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence. It takes action in response to emergencies and at the same time promotes respect for international humanitarian law and its implementation in national law.
