Pinned post update:
I think it’s important to not let the heavy weight of current events to bring you down completely. Yes, it feels like you can’t do much, and it’s easy to sink into total apathy, but let’s not make it happen. If there’s a possibility to do at least a little something, well... I believe every effort matters. A little something is always better than nothing at all.
This humanitarian initiative is raising money to buy portable wood burning stoves and electricity generators and deliver them to Ukranian residents. You can either donate or buy a heater online - all the instructions are on the website.
If you live in Russia and don’t have a foreign card, you can donate as well! Just contact one of the organizers and they will provide all the info on how to do it.
Helpdesk Media helps the victims of war, consults people on different questions - legal help, immigration, even psychological help, etc. They also share people's stories on their instagram and telegram. And of course they raise money as well:
- The initiative to support peaceful civilians of Ukraine. Here you can subscribe to a monthly donation — it will be debited as long as Russian missiles target Ukraine.

OVD-Info is an independent human rights defense and media group. They help those who are unjustly persecuted (politically motivated detentions, dismissals from work, interrogations, house searches and arrests happen in Russia on a daily basis, so they provide legal support to the victims of repressions)
