People around the world book Airbnb in Ukraine to help those in need

Donations to help Ukrainians have been flooding in from around the world. 

A lot of the money is going to the big humanitarian organizations like the Red Cross, UNICEF and Caritas. 

But money is also flowing through Airbnb where people are booking rooms in Ukraine without ever intending to stay there.

Those who donate say they feel it’s a more personal way to donate.
