DUer Lapfog_1 has made a generous offer to match donations to our DU Ukraine fundraiser. This offer is for up to $1,800. So a $5 donation becomes $10 etc. This is such an easy way to help the Ukrainian people. Remember this is tax deductible too.
Lapfog_1 just donated $950.00 to match the last two days of donations.

Here is his email:
I see that Omaha Steve has reduced the goal for this fundraiser
(Here is where the money goes: https://unitedhelpukraine.org/)
I have donated to this once... and I wish to tell DU... in light of the ongoing crises.... he is $3500 from his goal of $10,000.
So... I will match any gift made up to a total of $1800 to help DU meet the goal. Omaha_Steve will simply tell me how much is donated... and I will match it.
I am not rich... this will come from my retirement fund. But some things are just worth it.
Lets get this over $10K... it will be a drop in the bucket for what the 4 million refugees need. but every drop helps.
--------------------
Please let me know about any donations that come in since yesterday. I will match them dollar for dollar up to $1800.
Thanks,
Lapfog_1
