I Booked an Airbnb in Kyiv
I booked 5 nights at an Airbnb in Irpin, a heavily bombed city near Kyiv.

I’m not going. (And I told the host I wasn’t going).
The host replied:

Dear friends, thank you for your help. With this money we were able to help families left homeless. Thank you
It’s a very strange world in which you can book an apartment in a bombed city thousands of miles away.
Would this form of charity pass the Givewell test? Probably not. Still I am glad to have done it. Not to make light of the situation, but the look on my wife’s face when I told her I had booked an Airbnb in Kyiv was priceless.
