“Ukraine GoFund me”

When Zelenskyy got cornered by the two American bullies at the White House, last week, the idea came to me “Why don’t we start a worldwide, giant GoFund me to benefit Ukraine, and step into what Trump refuses to do for fear of upsetting his buddy Putin?” I loved the concept, but wondered how it could get into motion. 

That’s when I was reminded that it would amount to restarting the “Stand With Ukraine” campaigns, that raised tens of millions of dollars to support humanitarian aid and relief efforts three years ago, but this time put on steroids, so to speak, in order to compensate for Trump’s traitorous support withdrawal. 

I’d like to see a stronger, better repeat of that, but don’t really know where to start so it takes global proportions. The original campaign showed the power of online fundraising during times of international crisis and that’s why it deserves a “re-boot”. 

It sure could be a very high-profile event and an opportunity for the world to speak loudly against Trump and Putin nefarious schemes. It would capture widespread public attention and emotion, evoke empathy and compassion, motivating people to donate by leveraging social media platforms to help amplifying the campaigns' reach. 

Any idea how we could revive the idea?
