It's time for my monthly donation to fight Putin and Xi and all their cronies.
Ukraine is not doing well lately and I couldn't decide if I should support their military, humanitarian causes or on a more "street level" support. I decided to give to all three:
1) to the military via Savelife.in.ua
2) to humanitarian causes via Canada-Ukraine Foundation
3) to ordinary Ukrainian citizens via Dutch food truck duos Franky en Coen, who periodically drive their food truck all the way from the Netherlands to Ukraine to distribute free comfort food

My January 2024 donation to Ukraine.
I actually made two donations to Ukraine in January to "celebrate" the New Year. This is the second of two. I've been making monthly donation to Ukraine since February 2022. Including the two donations this month, I've donated over CAD $11,000 to fight Putin, that is over USD $8,100 or £ 6,400 or EUR 7,500.
Geez, I could have bought myself a very nice platinum diamond bracelet with that much money, which I had always wanted. But for now, my platinum diamond bracelet must wait. Ukraine first.

TIP OF THE ICEBERG: ADDRESSING WHAT’S BENEATH THE SURFACE OF OUR GREATEST CHALLENGES
When looking for solutions to our most pressing global threats, we often must act quickly to meet the moment by identifying solutions to the most pressing needs. Yet often, these solutions address just the tip of the iceberg. We think we’ve solved the problem, but we’ve perhaps only tackled the most obvious, visible challenge and haven’t taken the time to evaluate the hidden history, systemic root causes, and other barriers, that are perpetuating the issue. Upon examination, we may discover that many of these overlooked elements lie at the intersection of other challenges. In this session, we’ll hear from change makers addressing more than just the tip of the iceberg with their work.

I've had a lot of spending this month (September 2024), so I had to curtail the donation for Ukraine a bit.
But a Canadian charity is matching donations made via the Canada-Ukraine Foundation up to CAD $100,000. So I made a CAD $200 donation there, and a USD $200 donation to the Savelife.in.ua NGO.
During this month Russia killed more then 50 people in singular strike on funeral in town Hroza. Yesterday they killed 6 and injured 14 in strike on post terminal. War is far from over. Please donate to Come back alive, support the cause.
