I donated money to the Ukrainian Cause through my employer, who matched our donations. They sent a link through our intranet, which I know is protected. All the donation links I've received in my personal email accounts, I REPORT AS PHISHING.

Donate silly string. Great for detecting trip wires.

Look, this isn't like the movies. There are very few if any at all lazer trip mines being used. If you're going to use a lazer, you're going to need a lazer reciever. And both parts of the unit need a brain. Finally, the whole package needs electricy. That's batteries, electronic components, wires and a bunch of extra little electronics.
I doubt very much that russia is using lazer style trip mines. Instead, it's likely to be a string attached to a spring loaded firing mechanasm, and that's super easy to detect with silly string.

Please help by giving to World Central Chef Jose set this up to give back to the world. He has a huge volunteer army team with boots on ground during many natural and man made disasters. Please read his philosophy, 8000 hot meals in 16 minutes when team is fully functional. Portable kitchens and the supplies move with the refugees when possible or a pop up kitchen takes over at next location. They have been at several locations at the Polish boarder for several days now with nearly 1 million hot meals severed so far. The organization pairs with local vendors, shelters, groceries, when available but bring in own food, water, equipment. His philosophy is to not knock out already working local charities or food sources but rather to get to areas not accessible nor that does not have infrastructure to feed many thousands of refugees. Theses are not cold prepackaged meals but real hot food based on ethnic differences when possible. There’s even a vegan choice for the students trapped from India. Chef Jose is an incredible person and he is in Poland working with officials to keep food coming. He’s an angel. He does not wait to be asked him and his team goes! This is not a small endeavor but a well oiled machine that really works and works with so much love and caring. His system is massive but he gets in and up and running ASAP. He always says people must have food and water immediately not in 3-4 days.
