I have a lot of Ukrainian etsy shops I am close with for sewing needs and I bet its the same for laser needs.
This post it supposed to be a call to see if anyone is displaced and could use some help to maintain their operations. Also, if any have any Ukrainian shops to recommend for design files, then I would love to hear them.
So I will kick it off. Here is one shop I reached out to whos shop announcement shows they need help and they make things that I think I can help with: WoodenEngravedShop | Etsy
Am I the only one that searches out for shops to help with?
I have a friend who booked 4 nights at an Airbnb in Kyiv. Apparently Airbnb is waiving all fees and giving all proceeds directly to the property owners. It was a small way to put money directly in someone’s hands.
i don’t think there’s anything wrong with talking about supporting the people of Ukraine. i doubt anyone will complain or flag you for this. the other thread wasn’t doing that.
i personally agree with your sentiments about putin, but the meme was crapping on putin and a political comment (even if you think most agree with your view). this is “how do we help people in desperate need?” those are very different things.
If you get a chance, check out Alex Fox on Etsy. Alex is from the Ukraine & he specializes scroll saw & laser designs. He is very talented , AlexFoxUA at Etsy
Sooo…I found one Etsy shop in Ukraine that could use help holding down the fort while they are trying to get out. They use a bit more higher level of a laser cutter but I can manage supporting them for the items glowforgeable. Has anyone else found any shops in need?
