      I’ve given at least 5501 dollars worth of smiles to the Ukrainian lady who runs the scone place near me

      Anyone with less than $5000 of disposable cash in their pocket right now should be banned. P*ors do not belong in the tent.

      Currently unemployed so I only donated 100, will make it up once gainfully employed again.

      Dude I just moved and I’m broke.

      I have zero dollars available charity at this current time

      I get food from the food shelf to keep my kids fed. You got any donations for me?

      I think we all have given up hope/interest in mod stickies after the double-tap of the Jacobin article about socialism being good, followed swiftly by the infamous “actually mom, my cuckold pornography addiction is a political act!” the weekend after.

      I donated $1,000. I figured I’ve never donated to a Ukraine fundraiser before so I think this covers my dues for the past four years

      I spent $8k on travel and equipment to go and volunteer on the Donetsk front as a medic, have donated $6k over 2 years, and was bulk 3d printing 40mm grenade attachments for drones and sending them to kyiv for a couple years.

      I’m good.

      Good on you for donating what amounts to a technical.

      I donated about 1% of that at the “one battle of ammunition for a technical” level.

      I have paid taxes in two countries that used tax money to send military aid. You only sent pennies, i delivered weapons. Beat that

      Glad this post hit my page, I guess the initial donation drive didn’t. Threw in $400, can’t quite match your donation but hopefully it’ll make a difference

      I’m a poor unemployed drug addict, but just donated 12 bucks. Will try to give something most months from now, even if it’s small amounts. If I ever get my shit together or make a bunch of money… somehow, I will make a big donation as the first thing! Hope others will do the same, even if it’s just 5 bucks.

      I have donated $200 just now(2x$100 donations).

      I don’t know how realistic the $100k goal.

      This sub has also been pelted with ‘ukronazi’ articles in the past few days, so enthusiasm has been depressed.

      It’s low because most of us (including me) who donate money, already do a lot of it. My wife and I donate 5 figures annually to various charities (largely animal shelters, but also toward a couple educational charities and to a program at our church that is a prison ministry). We decide every year what we can donate, and then we donate that amount. Donation drives don’t motivate us to donate any more.

      I’d be willing to bet that a lot of folks are in our shoes.

      I donated a literal fridge to Ukraine. A relocated grandma in Lviv has my fridge now.

      Cuz my husband got laid off and being we live in the dc metro, half my otherwise steady clientele did too. I have no money to give. 🙃

      Going to be honest, I was planning to drop $100, which is what I put towards the anti-malaria drive. But Trumpflation has taken its toll, and my budget is a lot tighter right now than it was then. I’ll talk to my wife and see if it’s something we can swing.

      If europeans donate via the requested sister org, does it still count towards the goal?

    46. PtEthan323 on

      I’m living off of federal student loan money. Any amount of that money I donate would be a paltry sum compared to what the US government gives to Ukraine.

    47. BarkDrandon on

      Just donated another 50 bucks. Thanks for the motivation.

      Ukraine will be at peace some day. Not today, but one day.

      I just graduated and I’m broke with no job 😭 can I borrow $20 to give to Ukraine?
