 As the Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens more lives, here are some meaningful ways you can help. Please note that support is available from The Lexo Club Concierge for everyone who would like to support Ukraine, regardless of member status with us. According to UN data, in 2021 the crisis in Ukraine affected 1.5 million people — half a million of whom are children and minors. As with any crisis, women, children, and the poor will be those most affected. Ukrainian parents are already taking heartbreaking measures to protect their children including sending them into school wearing stickers identifying their blood types in case of bombings.
