Digest #12 — Community links and who’s hiring
Kyiv based designer Dima Grinkevych shared this status update about the situation in Ukraine last week.
Hello, read.cv!
I am a designer from Ukraine. I woke up to find out that Russia is invading my homeland. The world is shocked. We've been living with this threat for the last 8 years and got prepared. But this isn't enough. While we are waiting for the world leaders to act quickly and firmly — the Ukrainian army holds them back on its own.
But you can help us now. Please donate to one of the fundraising accounts, any money would help a lot. These are trusted organisations:

If you need any additional info, feel free to contact me anytime, I would do my best to clear up.
