If you’re feeling helpless as maternity hospitals, kindergartens and children’s cancer hospitals are routinely bombed, yes, please do pray. But also, please donate. This is a war of attrition and Ukrainians are dedicated to the freedom of their country but they’re outnumbered. Please donate. Canadians, the Canada-Ukraine Foundation is the most efficient way to give Ukraine help. Money is best so the exact supplies needed can be purchased.
I had also been recommending the Red Cross because the Canadian government is matching donations, but I’m alarmed with their negotiations with Lavrov and their potential opening of an office in Rostov-on-Don, which basically legitimizes the abduction of Ukrainians in the Russian “humanitarian” corridors. I think many Red Cross donators would be appalled that their well-meaning donations would go to such a use. More on this in this Reuters story.
If you are American, the US-Ukraine Foundation is the best place.
