My dear international friends!

Most of you surely know what is currently happening in Ukraine. Their country was invaded, there is a real war happening on their streets. Many Ukrainians are risking their lives fighting for their country. Many of them are looking for a safe place to go, trying to rescue their families, elders, children, and their animal friends. Many people who are not Ukrainians but were living there are trying to run back to their families and save their lives. That includes students, travelers, and people like us - expats and nomads who found their place in Ukraine, same as we found ours in Portugal. This is a true nightmare happening in front of our eyes, where innocent people die because of Putin's madness. People like us.

I'm going to Poland on the 4th of March (for 2 weeks) and will do whatever I can while I'm there:

- I want to support local collections of necessary products (buying, packing, transporting, etc.)

- I want to take my dad's car and help with the transportation of supplies to the border and transportation of people running away from Ukraine

The final form of my actions will depend on the most important needs at a time - as they change every minute.

Here's where I need your help as well. As much as some things don't require money, a huge part of help that's needed now depends on funds. The whole amount I manage to gather here will be spent on supporting Ukrainian people - either by buying required items or gas to transport supplies, people, and animals. Whatever I won't spend on actions made by my family and me, I will pass to a trusted organization that is helping on a bigger scale.

Please, let's help together and share our love.

I will be sharing detailed information on how the money from this collection is spent.

Also, if you want to help in another way, you can:

• Fight the fake news on the internet and share true checked information. Misinformation is a huge problem right now.

• Google restaurants/cafes/hotels in Russia on Google and leave them a review in Russian where you shortly describe what is really happening in Ukraine. No hate, just information. Many Russians are not aware of the true situation, as Russian media are running huge propaganda.

• Check on FB where are collections nearby and either provide some necessary items or volunteer to prepare packages. The needs are changing but people running collections usually provide the list of things that are the most needed at the time.

• Donate directly to organizations that send supplies to Ukraine or that are helping Ukrainians run away to a safe place and find shelter. Here are some trusted links:
• 2 biggest Polish money collection websites that organized official collections for Ukraine and are distributing money to trusted organizations https://pomagam.pl/solidarnizukraina and https://zrzutka.pl/razemdlaukrainy
• Polish Center of International Support https://pcpm.org.pl/ukraina
• Polish Humanitarian Action https://www.pah.org.pl/wplac/?form=ukraina
• Avalon Foundation supporting the Ukrainian Vostok.SOS organization - a public initiative to help victims of the conflict in Ukraine helpuj.pl/zbiorki/pomoc-ofiarom-wojny-w-ukrainie-wsparcie-organizacji-vostok-sos
• Polish Foundation for children https://pomagam3.wioskisos.org/

• Provide accommodation for refugees. If you decide to welcome them in your house or share the apartment you own, I will help with organizing transport/flights/documents for those people.
