Calling all crypto communities! Ukraine Help! Emergency Support For Refugees — Bucharest Logistic Fund
--
Three weeks ago, it wasn’t even a possibility to think that in Europe we will see an updated version of WW2. But, since then, everything has changed.
My country, Romania, has a 600 km border with Ukraine, and a lot of refugees are arriving in Bucharest, the capital of the country. Most of their cards don’t work, they can exchange their currency only with 1 bank, initially, the limit was 500 eur worth, now it went down to 250, and they have a lot of needs which are not covered by other initiatives. I have a team of volunteers in Bucharest helping with specific things, so through this newsletter today will kindly need your support to spread the word, and potentially contribute if you want to.
It is about entrepreneurship, because, we, entrepreneurs, can move mountains with small, persistent steps, it is about new entrepreneurship because it involves crypto, and last but not least it is an initiative started at the right moment which was in my head from the moment I saw what was happening.
Calling all crypto communities! Ukraine Help! Emergency Support For Refugees — Bucharest Logistic Fund
The Entrepreneurs in Romania Community & the media outlet Coincruncher are creating a special logistic fund to help Ukrainian refugees arriving in Bucharest with very specific things: immediate plane tickets, other transportation needs to Bucharest, and from here to their desired destinations, short & long term accommodation, basic financial help, VISA assistance, which are the most critical ones needed, and not covered by most of the other initiatives.
With many regular charities, a large part (sometimes most) of the funds raised are spent on administration & salaries so your contribution becomes food for the “sharks”. We are doing it using the decentralized crypto world & payments using cards transforming crypto to fiat by serving directly the families & covering their expenses, or the ones who are helped by other entities with food & medical supplies.
