During times of cataclysmic tragedies, whether it be a natural disaster or war, there are those who will prey on the good hearts and generosity of those who want to help. These scam artists, instead of providing aid to the suffering, are only helping themselves.
The war in Ukraine has generated an outpouring of giving. To be sure that your donations are getting to those victimized by the Russian invasion, follow what charity regulators advise.
Give through organizations you already know and trust, such as churches in this community that are raising for the relief efforts. If you don’t know the solicitor and still want to give, check it out first by using a website such as charitynavigator.org.
Be generous to those who are enduring this horrible trauma, but be wise about how you give.
