On-the-ground Support for Ukrainian Citizens (March 2022)

I'm really pleased amplifying the AirBnB idea (originally received via Nancy Mestler Loos) has resulted in many Ukrainians benefiting from direct, personal donations - and has allowed many people to help in a meaningful way. The outpouring of emotion from both sides is truly moving (see some of the many notifications I've received down below).

HOW TO HELP - just booked a Kiev AirBnb for 1 week, simply as a means of getting money directly into the hands of Kiev residents. It's really cheap and can make a small difference right now.
