Juno's refugee relief fund has sprung from Juno and Captain Lars' work with Refugee's in Warsaw Poland, our goal is to provide temporary accommodations, food, and transportation to Ukrainian refugees stranded in Warsaw after fleeing Ukraine due to the Russian invasion. Originally our goal was to not take any financial donations, but rather match donors directly with refugee families, so that they could buy air tickets directly for the families, eliminating any middlemen and letting the donors have a relationship with the people they are helping directly. We are still happy to do this, but we've had several requests from donors and other charities to set up a 501c to accept donations directly so that we can distribute funds on the ground in Warsaw. If you chose to donate to us, your money will go directly to purchasing tickets for refugees, buying bulk food for the refugee centers and orphanages we support in Warsaw and Ukraine, and funding housing and transportation for the volunteers we work with to be both in Poland and Ukraine. Plus the occasional treat for Juno! Juno has been an amazing asset, when ever we meet refugees, she is happy to sit with them, and she can put a smile on anyone's face, from 1yr old to 90, she's been spreading the love. There was a very nice article about our efforts in the London Evening Standard here -
