I believe it is your bank declining the donation. I tried my visa card an got declined, then I used my mastercard and my company asked to verify it via a code they texted me. I believe because the funds are being paid internationally is the reason we are getting declines
I donated to this fundraiser within United 24: "SAVE THE HEROES. FUNDRAISER FOR ARMORED EVACUATION VEHICLES: A life-defining fundraiser for 5 armored MEDEVACS that are needed on the frontline right now."
They offered me an opportunity to make a comment with my donation. It went something like this ~
"I offer my tears. There are not many fundraisers which make me sob; this one did.
I offer my prayers. Every day since this nightmare began.
I offer my apologies for the disgusting men who disrespected President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people in Washington, DC.
Thank you for changing your headline for today. Thank you for sharing the link to donate. I have previously donated to RAZOM, which supports the citizens of Ukraine. To be able to choose to donate direct to their defense is satisfying and rewarding.
I have donated to them every month since website was founded. I just doubled my monthly amount and sent it and will continue until there is a peace treaty. Not a cease fire which tye Russians will use to rearm, but a treaty
I love this! These small things, like calls, protests, and deciding where to spend our money, not only make a difference, they are our power to make change. We MUST be involved at the grass roots level because Trump has stolen Congress, the courts, the military, and all oversight. It's up to us. Keep it up!
I'm disgusted beyond. What's beyond disgusted? That then. I'm that. Whatever that is. There are no words. HOW is this going to just be swept under the rug. I feel so helpless. Donating now and writing the embassy of Ukraine.
Keep trying the United 24 site for donations. It's probably overwhelmed with support but you'll get through. I'm going to write him at the embassy address posted here. Thanks for that information.
Thank you, Jessica. I was also guided my a substack reader about contacting the Ukrainian embassy in Washington. You can get an email to President Zelensky that way. I was so grateful.
I had forgotten about that. And Tim Snyder’s substack has donation organizations too.
Agreed. Remember there are 110,000 people on this list and they’re probably all trying to donate right now. Let alone everybody else who’s not on this list.
I have made a post of "Notice of Termination of Employment" postcards to send to Donald Trump on #TheIdesofTrump. These were edited from my trove I received in 2017. Please visit my notes posts at https://substack.com/@jjocarbonevt/note/c-97123211 to download the cards
I donated to the Ukrainian government site and sent a personal note to friends asking them to join me late last night. When I woke up this morning I already had one thank you note for doing that. I hope giving to Ukraine will go virtual!
Over 1.4 billion has been pledged so far!
But since when?
Good question. I guess since the website has been active
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this has been around for a while - maybe since the beginning of the war?
I’ve given this way several times. The web site is a little tricky. Timothy Snyder recommends this site and several others. Slava Ukraini!
Incredible
Does anyone know where the balance started yesterday?
Yeah that may be an all-time number
My payment was "declined".

Keep trying. My newsletter shares a few other legit charities (from Tim Snyder of "Of Tyranny") that you can donate to

And I offer this inadequate donation amount."
That’s really beautiful. And a much needed program.
After donating, if you want to plan a day outside, find the closest National Park that has a planned peaceful protest of protection on this list - most events starting at noon: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRrlwhavzgT651MvAMTvTQi0gRjuRww0B0RJ6TjBKdKyXpdT6fKh5Yky0I1fpn1CV8imfEpuW6uUpt_/pubhtml
This is fantastic.
Great idea,thanks! Anyone have Zelenskyy address so we can mail him a card?

Thank you so much for this. i have just written a note to him expressing my embarrassment for the actions of our current administration.
Thank you!!!

Just cancelled my WAPO subscription and donated to the Ukraine. Thanks for your suggestion!
Me, too! I will miss the fine reporters, but I needed to make a statement.
You can find some of them on Substack on The Contrarian now!

it was staged. We just saw a shake down. Its what trump learned from his father and Roy Cohn.

How does one write to the embassy in Ukraine? I want to do that.
emb_us@mfa.gov.ua
I am that, then, and speechless, right along with you!
And it backfired.
I hope you rest too Jessica, you deserve it. ;)

Tried to donate to this site just now, but wasn't able to make the donation. ?? a new glitch.
Me, too. Nothing wrong with my credit card. I think the website may be flooded.
It looked like it only takes VISA
I did it. Fairly easy. Used Apple Pay.
Yeah, mine wouldn't go thru either. I may have to contact my bank. Safety, you know?
I just think the site is overwhelmed. Please keep trying.
Agreed. Remember there are 110,000 people on this list and they’re probably all trying to donate right now. Let alone everybody else who’s not on this list.
Experienced the same issue. Will wait a little while and try again. Meanwhile, I’m formulating an email to the Ukrainian Embassy.
My ongoing contributions to Ukraine have been through WCK, Razom and Voices of Children, which is of particular concern.
I just donated no problem using Apple Pay. Keep trying! 💛💙
Same happened to me.
I had the same, when trying to donate by cc to defense. I was able to donate to medical aid through cc.
Same here. Not able to donate to defense, but donation for medical aid went through with no problem.

Done! I had already made a few donations but donated again after seeing this newsletter encouragement.
