People are booking AirBnB rentals in the Ukraine and sending a note that they obviously will not be going there on vacation and staying in the rental but are just booking and paying the rental to show support and send money. All reports I have seen suggest the Ukrainian recipients of this support have been very grateful, some offering to reserve the reservation should the renter want to actually use it after this is all over. It is a very nice gesture and a ccool way to send support.
I would hope that AirBnB will announce that they are waiving their fees at this time for such rentals so the AirBnB owners can get the entire sum as financial support intended for them.

It is a great initiative, especially as some of the owners of these AirBnBs are now making their places available to refugees or people made homeless by the bombing.
ReplyDeleteBut is you want to give, be aware that in recent days fraudsters not based in the Ukraine have set us fictitious AirBNBs in the Ukraine to try to cash in on people's generosity.
So this is a great way to support people that need it, but be careful when giving
