Like many of you, our thoughts and hearts are with the people of Ukraine. At Givebutter, our mission is to empower the changemaker in all of us. This means we have the privilege of seeing changemakers from around the world come together in the name of humanity and peace.

We wish to share some of these stories of hope, resilience, and community with you. One such story hits close to home for us, with one of our team members’ parents taking care of children at a hospital in Ukraine.

Whether you feel compelled to share, advocate, fundraise, send money, or simply educate yourself, know that you are making a difference. Thank you, changemakers, for making a better world for all. 💛
