World central kitchen, the idea of Chef Jose' Andres goes around the world to areas in need and FEEDS PEOPLE. 100% of the donations go to feeding people. Andres pays the expenses himself. They are on the Polish Border feeding refugees fleeing the fighting. https://donate.wck.org/give/236738/#!/donation/checkout

Doctors without Borders is in border countries and Ukraine attending to the wounded. They have a 90% rating from CharityNavigator.. 90% of the money goes to helping the people. A very high number from what I have gathered.

I use PayPal. Seems safer than my American Express card. But then the three founders of PayPal are the anti-democratic Musk and Thiel. As well as Ukranian born Max Levchin. I think that is kinda freaky.
