Story
I made this map the other day to better understand the situation for refugees fleeing Ukraine but in doing so, the scale of this War only deepened my pain and the feeling that I need to do more.
I am part of a wide international filmmaking community and as such have friends working right now on the Ukraine Poland border At Hrebenne. They are journalists for Celebro but have become far more, as the emergency response team is entirely volunteer run.
They tell me people have quit their jobs to go there, to drive refugees across the border to safety, to make food to hand out. This is all from their own pockets.
What I’m told is they need cold hard cash to put in the hands of people who have long journeys still to make and very little left of their lives. The team there are giving people physical money and I would like to pass that on, to continue the chain of giving. Any tiny amount will directly impact people fleeing today.

3 years agoIt feels like weeks since my last update- so much has happened in relatively few actual hours. What I can continue to say is a huge and genuinely heart felt thank you from the entire team who are working nearly all hours day and night to help people who have lost EVERYTHING. The language barrier is massive. Your money has helped to house refugees when they have nowhere to go and to explain what their urgent medical needs are through translators when they desperately needed help. From everyone at Hrebenne and Zamosc, thank you ❤️

3 years agoAn update from Hrebenne this afternoon: This is the difference you have made - this is the first family who will have a warm safe and private place for the next two nights. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

3 years agoGuys, this is an absolutely incredible amount of donated money and will make a real difference to people's lives today. I've booked 2 apartments this morning, one with two bedrooms. This means that at least 3 families will have 2 nights in hotels due to your donations. That's 2 days to collect their thoughts, 2 days to rest, 2 days to grieve in private. It also means it leaves 18 spaces in a refugee centre for people still arriving. Thank you so so much, from everyone involved both in the UK and Poland.
