EDIT on March 6 2022: This list is constantly evolving, and as my readers are sending me links and suggestions, I will keep on adding the information. If you see anything that needs to be update, please let me know. Please distribute this list as widely as you possibly can so that it can get into the hands of someone who needs it.

Hana: Amazing work! Thanks a lot, I’ll share it with my network. Stay strong. March 4, 2022 at 9:38am
Victoria: Thank you very much! March 5, 2022 at 6:34pm
Claire: Thank you Victoria. This is appreciated xx March 4, 2022 at 10:56am
Victoria: Marianne did a great job! We hope that it will help someone. March 5, 2022 at 6:34pm
Fazal: I cannot imagine your state of mind. If I have learned one thing from wars that have been waged during my lifetime, it is that it is easy to start a war but one cannot never predict the trajectory and duration of the war.
I am also thinking about something I read a while ago. Some dictators last longer than other but most, even those most cunning ones, eventually make a major blunder that leads to their downfall. Putin has seemed infallible since the beginning of his reign and I hope that this Ukraine invasion turns out to be that ‘one major blunder’ that leads to his downfall. March 5, 2022 at 7:00pm
Fazal: ***one can never predict… March 5, 2022 at 7:01pm
Frances: Dear Victoria, this list is impressive and will surely be helpful.
Since you talked so beautifully about Corsica in the past, I just wanted to let you know that people here are really mobilized. They gathered food, clothes and first aid supplies, a first dispatch has left Corsica for Nice a few days ago. They are also collecting medecines and first aids supplies in pharmacies, first in the south, soon in the north. An oncologist who works at Ajaccio’s hospital, Nataliya Khobta-Santoni, has created, with her husband, a crowdfunding to collect money too. She is from Dnipro. She said touching words about Ukraine and Corsica, pointing out that our countries have much values in common. The politicians in charge here have been very vocal about their wish to welcome refugees soon. They were to contact the ukrainian ambassy. I hope it will work for the best and that the people who need and want to come here will find safely their way to our island.
Maybe you have acquaintances or friends over here who kept you updated. however, just in case, I decided to post in the hope it would cheer you up a little bit (I didn’t contact you by email because I’m sure you receive already so many).
Courage. March 6, 2022 at 6:52pm
Victoria: Thank you very much, Frances. I hope that someone sees your comment. March 7, 2022 at 3:08pm
Marianne: The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade provides links to safe and responsible ways to donate to the people of Ukraine via their website: http://www.dfat.gov.au
I’m so sorry for the senseless suffering being unleashed on Ukraine. And, in awe of the dignity and courage of its citizens.

Kaisa: Thank you for putting this together! Will share with my network. I’m a long-time reader and quiet admirer of your blog. I’m so sorry for what is happening now, it is horrendous and I hope it can be stopped soon… Kaisa, Finland/Belgium March 8, 2022 at 9:37am
Victoria: My only contribution was to have a nervous breakdown online. The community (namely Marianne) did the lion share of work. Thank you so much for sharing. Hope that the list can help. March 8, 2022 at 9:41am
rainboweyes: Thanks for this useful and important list.
In Poland, Fundacja Ocalenie https://ocalenie.org.pl/ also offers support for migrants March 8, 2022 at 11:52am
Charlotte: Victoria, I’m so happy to see your website back – I’ve missed it! There is a lot of support for Ukraine in Canada but it’s not enough. A nervous breakdown is more than reasonable in the circumstances. I hope you’re ok. June 29, 2022 at 5:11pm
