Ukraine needs foreign volunteers to help fight and one thing those volunteers need is flights. This is a Brazilian volunteer who recently flew home after long service in Ukraine. If you have airline miles or hotel points, you can help volunteers go to or from Ukraine!
This is a great thank you video we received from a Brazilian military volunteer who recently flew home for a break after long service in Ukraine. He is thanking Rob and Sarah, who for years have helped hundreds of volunteers get matched with donors to cover their flights.
Ukraine has tens of thousands of foreign volunteers fighting for them. They have a major need to help cover the cost of flights. Many of the most qualified volunteers are coming from very far away, in Latin America, North American, or Australia/New Zealand. Their flights are expensive.
The major reasons volunteers ask for help with flights are going home after being injured, going home for family emergencies, or taking breaks after very long service and years away from loved ones. They also need help going back to Ukraine after breaks or injury recovery.
How can you help?
1. If you have airline miles or hotel points, sign up on protectavolunteer.com http://protectavolunteer.com and tell us which miles or points you have. An awesome volunteer who is an expert on rewards booking will contact you and help you get linked to a vetted military volunteer who needs help.
2. Contribute to the paypal at protectavolunteer.com http://protectavolunteer.com and choose Flight Fund. Every rewards ticket does have taxes and fees attached. We also sometimes have to pay cash for tickets, especially in cases of family emergencies where volunteers need to travel home urgently. All amounts add up and are helpful! #ukraine #local
