Goodnewspaper (look for the helpers!)
Goodnewspaper is a lovely monthly newspaper from the USA, that focuses on sharing the good in the world, and leaving you feeling more hopeful and informed, after reading it. It has a super post on how to help Ukraine (including organisations that help animals in war zones)).
You can also subscribe to the goodnewsletter and the Sounds Good podcast that hosts interviews with those who are helping to make the world a better place.
The founder Branden Harvey was inspired to create a community of 500,000 world-changers, from a quote by Fred Rogers:
When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
