It is so overwhelming - thoughts on the best recipients of donations?

[NewHendoLib]

Where the largest percentage of the donation goes to where it is actually needed?

For medical, we are thinking Doctors without Borders.

But for humanitarian needs - the refugees, needed supplies, food, etc - so many options.

Has anyone done good research on this and can provide some best recomendations?

8. Putin's assassination fund?...let's bump up the bounty!

I couldn't resist. Howdy neighbor!

You asked a very good question. There are so many good groups administering aid, and some good suggestions so far. I got an email with a few suggestions I'm sharing, since you asked.

Here are a few group to consider for those who have not had a chance to donate or for those who are moved to do even more. There are many others; these are just suggestions. Thank you for considering this request.
Joint Distribution Committee
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
Save the Children-Ukraine
Doctors without Borders in Ukraine

As noted, there are so many groups helping in so many ways. It's up to each of us to give where our heart leads. I appreciate the pet help.links provided, and am inclined to donate there.

9. Thanks so much. I hope all is well with you!

We decided tonight that it would be Doctors without Borders, and Save the Children - it just seems like such a tiny thing, but I guess lots of tiny things can make a difference. How awful it is to feel so disconnected and helpless watching the horrors unfold.
