For the past two years, I have been following these Italian journalists as they report from the front lines of the Ukraine/Russian war.
They interview stoic Ukrainian citizens and soldiers.
They show the damage of this senseless war.
They describe the atrocities.
Giorgio and Alla are living dangerous, uncomfortable lives. Sleeping in underground bunkers. Making quick trips between broken villages. Watchful of Russian drones. Occasionally hunted. Too often not around comforts we take for granted.
Their work to keep the story in front of the world has helped turn the tide. But perhaps their more important is the documentation for the future. Historians will be referencing their reports.
The Funding Need
Giorgio has told us that one of his major funders will not be supporting their mission much longer.

We can make up the shortfall.
I have donated to the cause twice. Alas, I belong to the working poor class. Not quite on the poverty line, but my money is tight.
But I can leverage my small donations.
So here is my deal:
My e-book sales are supplemental to my needs. Nice, but not necessary to sustain me.
I will donate the proceeds of all June e-book sales to the Giorigio’s & Alla’s mission in Ukraine.
1) Go to Kindle or Kobo e-book websites.
2) Type my name. My e-books should come up.
3) Buy one or all four TDG e-books.
4) I will donate the funds for you.
And you get some books about the new democracy we should be building. So our great-grandchildren won’t have to deal with these silly wars.

How to donate a little more
These e-book retailers take a 30% commission. Plus my American sales result in another 30% withholding tax. So maybe figure out how much of the TDG collection you are willing to buy, then pay that full amount directly to Giorgio & Alla. I will be happy if you forego the TDG e-books to put more money in their hands.
Here are two more Giorgio & Alla reports that will take you to their funding link:

Addendum
1) I got a comment from one Medium contributor who said he was going to send a donation directly because of this article.
2) I did not sell any e-books in this time.
3) I sent Giorgio another €50.
