Humanitarian Relief to Ukraine: Cash is Best
AuthorJaclyn Silvestri
Dear friends of Disaster Tech
The atrocities being committed in Ukraine by Russia and their partners are destroying communities, destabilizing world peace, and killing and displacing innocent lives. We stand with the people of Ukraine and are donating cash to humanitarian relief organizations helping those who are suffering from the horrors of war. As a disaster response professional, cash is best to support humanitarian efforts on the ground, providing financial support to trusted organizations that deliver aid around the world. If you wish to donate, we ask that you donate cash to a trusted humanitarian group active on the ground. Sites like Charity Navigator help connect people with an organization of their choice. I pray for the children and families impacted by these criminal acts and look for the international community to bring swift justice to the criminals causing these atrocities.
In solidarity,
Sean, CEO
In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we invite you to join us in supporting those humanitarian relief organizations who are helping the Ukrainian people.
Cash donations offer voluntary agencies the most flexibility in obtaining the most-needed resources. Many charities specialize in providing relief in disaster areas, yet they face significant financial barriers to getting their staff, equipment, and supplies into impacted areas. With providing a cash donation to humanitarian relief organizations, you help put experienced disaster responders on the ground, and give them the tools they need to help survivors recover. These cash donations also allow the organizations to purchase food, water, medicine and equipment from secure and familiar supply chains, and allows for locally purchased materials which ultimately helps to rebuilt the local economy. These cash donations even help to conserve resources, as money is always needed and is cheap to send, while the cost of shipping materials can be expensive. To learn more, click here.
