So, this is something that's been on my mind a while, and it hits a little close to home.
We all likely know about the current tragic events in Ukraine, some of us may even be effected by it, like myself. I have friends in Ukraine, whom I went days without hearing anything from. I feared the worst, thankfully they have made it to safety - but so many are still struggling, and it hurts me to see.
My suggestion is that, in some way, we can rally support and possible donations towards charities within Ukraine that can help with the current crisis - whether it be help for people to flee the country, or support for those who stay.
This can be done with possible ideas such as a charity drive, possible store items that a percentage of the paid money goes to charity (see later suggestions for items) or even just sharing links and support around the site/server.
Possible items for the store could include:
The Sunflower Crown (yes, it already exists, but given Sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine, it is the perfect item that could be used for charity and support)
Sunflower Staff/Wand (similar to the floral wand/flower staff but Sunflower themed)
Nightingale Pet (Nightingales are the national animal of Ukraine)
I know this suggestion sounds a lot, but again, its been on my mind and hits close to home. My friends have been through a lot to get to safety, I hope that many others can do the same.
For now, I will share links for donating to the cause:
UNICEF (UK)
GlobalGiving (EU, AUS, US, CAN)
UNICEF (US)
MSF/Doctors Without Borders (global, iirc)
