Thank you, thecarpathian!
Music Lovers! Unite in helping Ukraine!
We are fortunate to live in countries that allow us to pursue financial success. I believe most of us on here has attained that to a degree that we are living relatively comfortably.
The Russian military is beginning to utilize all the massive firepower at its disposal. Since their offensive has bogged down, they are changing tactics. Their new tactic is to surround a city and shell it indiscriminately, inflicting as much human misery as possible. A rocket, missile and artillery shell doesn’t care if you are a soldier, old woman, or an infant. Neither does Putin.
When they unleash it like they did in Syria, it will be a humanitarian catastrophe not seen since the Second World War. Death and destruction on a massive scale.
Please, consider giving to a charitable organization to help.
We have so much. Give some of it to whom it will literally make a difference between living and dying. You will be saving a life. A life of someone loved. Just as you love.

This is the charity I used, but there are several more of your choice. International Red Cross, Save the Children, CARE, to name a few.
Please, let’s all do what we can to help.

Thank you @thecarpathian for starting this thread and thanks to Tammy and A'gon for allowing it. At least it opened a few eyes and wallets. All the best, |
This is what should open eyes and wallets. The children, the real victims of Putin's aggression. Send this image to your congress person. Look at those eyes they tell it all.

Any other charity recommendations (and why)? My first pick has always been Doctors Without Borders/USA (aside from Hero Rats), but I have not researched too many others. The Red Cross is a no go (for me) as their soliciting/PR budget is way too high IMO. I also feel that Doctors Without Borders/USA soliciting budget is too high @ approx. a $15 cost to secure a $100 donation, but last I looked the Red Cross was expending $25 for the same outcome. Anyone up to date on this stuff care to share their opinions?
