Russia has invaded my home country. We are at war. My family is far from the border, but an airport nearby was destroyed.

My friends in Kyiv are hiding in basements as the ground above them shakes from the bombardment.

I don’t know what else to say. I’m just scared.

A few vetted charities on the ground are positioned to help right away, from medical support, to evacuation, to providing food and water.

Governments can take a long time to intervene, but we are different. Thousands of donations from the SumOfUs community right now could go directly to these groups and they could have the money in hours, not days or weeks. Please give to Ukrainians who need an urgent lifeline — everything we raise will be sent to groups on the ground.
