Thank you for very moving reporting. My question is how do we, in Canada, financially support the Ukrainian people and assist the social programs available to Ukrainians (children in schools, mothers, LGBTQ+). We have been donating to a number of groups targeting various groups but want your on-the-ground experience to guide us. Stay safe, Justin.

One interesting thing I've heard for some time, but which was really driven home while I was there, is the degree to which there are *a lot* of people fundraising with good intentions but with pretty ineffective impact.
I gather that, bar none, the best effective things to fund are military kit and first-aid material. Not everyone is comfortable kicking in for the former, but the latter is just as important.
I'm not going to endorse any group in particular, here, but I've only heard good things about the World Ukrainian Congress (and its foundation is a registered charity): https://unitewithukraine.com/donate
And I am personally fond of Saint Javelin. I met its founder, Christian, last time I was in Ukraine in 2018. People familiar with the company attest that the money goes to the right places. Their clothing is also very nice. (I have a sweater!): https://www.saintjavelin.com/pages/about-us-our-story
Thanks, I have never, in my life, donated to buy a drone. However, we have to do what we have to do to support the Ukrainian people. Thanks Justin. Keep spreading the word of how we can help the Ukrainian people.
Yes I've purchased several things from St-Javelin. Expensive, but I know it's for a good cause, and I appreciate you've shared your meeting with the founder.
