Giving Directly to Boots on the Ground
​in Moldova & Ukraine

One of the poorest and smallest countries in Europe, Moldova is the safest pass-through for Southern-Ukrainian refugees fleeing to Romania and Europe. FoM reports that as of late March, Moldovans have hosted nearly 400,000 refugees, with more than 100,000 staying in Moldova. I lived there for two years and can say that Moldovans are absolutely giving their hearts and homes to refugees, and they need help. Also, I can vouch for these two organizations, having had first-hand experience with them. 
This 7-min. PBS report on Moldovans helping Ukrainian refugees should be cued up for you, but if not, it starts at 24:14.

MAD AID

Victoria Dunford, a Moldovan who married a Brit, has strong connections in both countries. She founded the large, highly-respected Phoenix Centre for handicapped children in Moldova and has organized huge truck caravans carrying unused British medical equipment and supplies to Moldova for years. They are using this incredible supply channel for Ukrainian refugees.

This 5-min. PBS report, "Keeping the Flame," on the Ukrainian-American family donating candle profits to refugees should be cued up for you, but if not, it starts at 48:51.
