For Ukraine

[Patrick Howell]

Hi Everyone,

I know many of you are in contact with the user communities, developers and Partners in Ukraine, and have heard of the disturbing and frightening things they've experienced. 5am bombings, family displacement & separation, and the clear likelihood that things will only get worse.

Our team is raising funds internally, and in doing so, have been reaching out to find secure/reliable means to donate to the Ukrainian defense and its people.

The Atlassian Community is a big one, and I like to think we can use our global network and platform to share resources and ideas. With that said:

#1) If you know of payment portals, websites, or charities that have secure means to donate to Ukraine... please add those to comments/replies on this post. 

#2) If you are interested in donating, but unsure of the options provided. I can look to pool your donation into ours is an option. Feel free to email me (patrick@trundl.com).

Thank you for sharing @Patrick Howell ! I feel that the community here is terribly silent about this topic and it's great to see your post opening the discussion.

I also found these resources with different ways to help so you can consider where you want your donation to go 👉 https://ukrainianinstitute.org.uk/russias-war-against-ukraine-what-can-you-do-to-support-ukraine-ukrainians/

I think most of us is simply on twitter now and not thinking about Atlassian Community THAT much, to be honest.... But in fact, I asked myself the same question, that`s why I am here right now...

Thank you Nikki! Yeah, navigating the restrictions and delays with moving $$ is more difficult than I anticipated, but we are making progress. Thanks for sharing this. Many people I've spoke to want to help in different ways, and so this brings many other option to the front. I'm not on Twitter (because I'm old!), so I figured posting something here would spur some ideas
