People have found a way to directly donate to Ukrainians- AirBnB! Last Wednesday, several celebrities started the idea to “rent” out space from hosts in Kyiv. It’s a way to give directly to the people struggling in Ukraine. AirBnB has waived fees and the CEO, Brian Chesky, is also now encouraging hosts on the platform to offer their homes to refugees. In the last week, over 11,000 people have signed up to offer space in their homes. Ashton Kutcher and Ukrainian born wife, Mila Kunis, have donated 3 million dollars to the initiative.

We booked some nights in Kharkiv on AirBnB to try to send some tangible, immediate assistance. I wrote the hosts a message and received this back. Only sharing in case you’re not sure if it’s a helpful thing to do. pic.twitter.com/yGzRZVFflk
