In the midst of all these high tensions surrounding Ukraine and miles upon miles of misinformation available online, it makes sense that you might want to do your part, but might be a little worried about where the right place to do so is.
Thanks to some creative donation givers, there's now a quick, easy, and safe way to donate to those in immediate need.
Rather than donating to an organization that will spend said money however it chooses, the internet found a way to make sure the people being forced to flee or fight are receiving money directly.
Tweets and other social media posts have begun popping up showing people booking Airbnbs in Kiev and other attacked cities, then messaging the owner and informing them that this booking was just a donation.
In an email to Mashable, the company confirmed that they're waiving guest and host fees on Ukrainian bookings right now, meaning the property owner gets even more money. They're also providing free housing for 'up to' 100,000 refugees fleeing the country.
"We appreciate the generosity of our community during this moment of crisis," read the statement.
It's doing so quickly, too. Not to mention it's helping those far from the situation identify safe places to spend their money, lest they fall for any scammers looking to take advantage of the unrest.
