Thank you so much. Please everyone look at the charities that are taking donations to help the Ukranians and donate.
Much thanks,

Ida Bae Wells is saying Europe is not a continent.
It’s a continent by convention, not by geography.
Speaking of charities are there any that are recommended? I gave to Nova Ukraine 🇺🇦 but are there others? So much will be needed to help with the displaced families.
You might want to look at Direct Relief,
(www.directrelief.org) on Charity Navigator where it has a four-star rating. You can direct your donation to the Ukraine Crisis
Since the whole travel industry is still trying to ramp up from the pandemic, Airbnb is donating free temporary housing to refugees. They’re taking donations also.

It is amazing how real estate is accessed creatively to solve human crisis…
