Music Lovers! Unite in helping Ukraine!


We are fortunate to live in countries that allow us to pursue financial success. I believe most of us on here has attained that to a degree that we are living relatively comfortably.

The Russian military is beginning to utilize all the massive firepower at its disposal. Since their offensive has bogged down, they are changing tactics. Their new tactic is to surround a city and shell it indiscriminately, inflicting as much human misery as possible. A rocket, missile and artillery shell doesn’t care if you are a soldier, old woman, or an infant. Neither does Putin.

When they unleash it like they did in Syria, it will be a humanitarian catastrophe not seen since the Second World War. Death and destruction on a massive scale.

Please, consider giving to a charitable organization to help.

We have so much. Give some of it to whom it will literally make a difference between living and dying. You will be saving a life. A life of someone loved. Just as you love.

This is the charity I used, but there are several more of your choice. International Red Cross, Save the Children, CARE, to name a few.

Please, let’s all do what we can to help.

Thank you for your OP.

Will check out the fund you mention.

I have been donating to "Hero Rats" for many years (my wife’s find), and though it’s a day late and a dollar short in regard to this current situation it is a good cause.

I’m also making a hand written list of all the miscreant’s posting to your thread for future use in the event that this thread is deleted (not familiar with a some of them).

In 2001 A'Gon ran charity auctions for 9/11 victims support (no fees/$'s going to them as far as I recall).

21+ years later it's good to see that they are allowing this potentially "politically" active thread (politically active by just 10 monikers as far as I've counted so far - though I have not seen the deleted posts) to remain.

Any other charity recommendations (and why)?

My first pick has always been Doctors Without Borders/USA (aside from Hero Rats), but I have not researched too many others.

The Red Cross is a no go (for me) as their soliciting/PR budget is way too high IMO.

I also feel that Doctors Without Borders/USA soliciting budget is too high @ approx. a $15 cost to secure a $100 donation, but last I looked the Red Cross was expending $25 for the same outcome.

Anyone up to date on this stuff care to share their opinions?
