Ask HN: Donate to HelpingToLeave (if you can)

This is obviously off-topic and I'm not sure how it will affect my HM karma, but I wanted to try and reach out to (wonderful) HN community anyway.

The war continues, and one of the easiest way for anyone around the world to support Ukraine is to donate to organizations helping citizens of war zones escape.

The one I personally trust is HelpingToLeave [0] - they recently published a post saying they're almost out of money [1]. I suspect that after some time, the flow of donations naturally slows down. So I'm here to do what I can to keep the donations flowing.

Their website has links to donate and view reports. Let me also share couple of videos with people behind the project [2] (sorry it is in Russian and the auto-subtitles are not 100% perfect).

(As they often say, any amount matters. The average cost of one evacuation is €100).
