The CEO of the Red Cross makes close to about $700,000/year. Do you really think your donations are be directed to charity?

Send money to your local community that is in need. You have no clue of what is happening in other countries. Stop feeding the beast.It amazes me how people are only motivated by a TEL-A-VISION. Take care of the poor people in your area.

It is so sad. There are always LOW LIVES stealing from those in need. I regularly wonder how low some people will go.

UNICEF is a reputable charity helping on the ground in Ukraine and Poland.

Whatever charity you use just make sure your donation goes directly to Ukraine & not some govt. middle man that gets paid for doing something that’s suppose to go to the poor people of Ukraine. I knew a gentleman that was helping United Fund to help people & it went to Communist countries that there govt. was taking it & giving our donations out to who they thought should get it. Needless to say he quit the United Fund board. Personally I don’t trust our govt. any more than I trust Putin. God Bless the Ukrain’s!

Sadly, that is not unusual. You can easily research how much each charity spends on administration. Twenty percent is typical. Aid to Ukraine, how much of it gets there?
It is a war. A truck full of aid. Will the Russians let it in ? The Russians are attempting to starve people in Ukraine. As we did with the Berlin airlift, drop in food drugs and weapons? Between a rock and a hard place. We want to aid Ukraine and avoid WWIII.

World Central Kitchen is wonderful. Unsung heroes who are one of the first to arrive in any country to help feed people!

Here's a list of present ongoing conflicts with their death toll if you insist on giving:
Sudan 300K
Congo 100K
Nigeria 51K
Syria 600K
Yemini 233K

Samaritan's Purse and/or The Red Cross

[macawlaw]

Although not often mentioned, UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is at most disasters, and 100% of the money given for a particular use is used for that.
How to assist the Ukrainian people - Global Ministries

[wyealbert]

Another vote for Samaritan's Purse.

[logdog]

We choose the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund by Global Giving. CharityNavigator.org gave Global Giving one of their highest scores for accountability and transparency. Their expense ratio is a remarkable 97.8% and a leadership score of 100 out of 100.

There are 85 billion dollars worth of weapons and military supplies in Afghanistan. Perhaps they can be sent to Ukraine. Sorry, I take that back. They belong to the Taliban now.
