Need Your Help: Pulling People Out of Ukraine

Folks,

For those of you that know me, you know whom I am speaking of.  However, for many of you, I am going to just leave this a little vague.  if you want to know details, email me.  I am going to be a little vague for the reason I worry about their safety, but you will understand in a moment.  

There are some contacts which I have in eastern Ukraine which are now under threat and need to be pulled out.  Their situation has radically changed for the worst and we need to get them out now.  If I were a rich man, I'd have no problems.  While not poor, mostly, I cannot turn on a dime.  My other sources are tapped out at the moment.  So, I turn to you, my readers for help.

If it is at all possible, send some money via paypal.  anzha lyu at gmail is my email address.  We need to raise about $5k.  I can take some cryptocurrencies, but I ask you email me before attempting to send.  

The situation has turned really ugly in the last 24 hours.  We think we know why and because of what we know, we need to get them out now.

So.  Please.  Whatever you can do.

I will close this out Monday.

Update:  I am willing to take requests for blog posts.  There are some limits on what I can write about, but if you email me, I can respond the the request.

Running tally: we're at $3325 needed now.
