Aid for Ukraine
Organizations you can donate to aid the citizens of Ukraine
A curtain hides the falling fires of death and destruction. A curtain provides a sense of safety.
The Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv is under martial law. Any citizen willing to fight the Russian invaders will be given a weapon. People are fleeing their burning homes. Politicians are preparing to die for their country.
During these unforeseen times, Ukraine needs you. Here are a few organizations you can donate to:
It is difficult to donate from all the countries to some of these organizations. But if you are from the U.S., Australia, Canada, Europe, you can donate to most of these organizations.
The list will grow as I find more. Feel free to make your own suggestions in the comments below.

Their neutral and impartial humanitarian action supports the most vulnerable people.
Sunflower of Peace
Sunflower of Peace has officially started a fundraiser to prepare first aid medical tactical backpacks for paramedics and doctors on the front lines. In 2014-2016 those backpacks helped paramedics and doctors on the front lines save hundred and hundred of lives. Those were the bags they didn't leave out of their sight as they had everything to preserve a person's life and get them to proper medical care alive. It meant the world to them then and it will mean the world to them now.
Each backpack has the ability to save up to 10 lives: Ukrainian soldiers, civilians, volunteers, and children. It includes a variety of first aid supplies: bandages, anti hemorrhagic medicine like Quikclot and Celox, medical instruments, and a means for survival in extreme conditions.
The fund has also surpassed its goal—$200,000—but is continuing to fundraise.
