It’s certainly a helpless feeling to not be able to do more to help our brothers and sisters in the Ukraine. Any situation approached with love can be resolved peacefully. Unfortunately the human race has not yet learned this lesson. The good news is that there are many organizations that have the reach and capability to help. I’ve compiled a list if you’d like to donate your time or money to help these organizations do more to end the conflict and the unnecessary suffering that is taking place right now. Thank you for caring and for helping at whatever capacity you can. Every little bit matters, especially when we come together for change.
