[bars] Next shipment to Ukraine

[Juan Jiménez]

So far I have received $75 in donations! Thanks to those who decided to
help. Payday is next week, and as I said, I will pay the difference to get
this shipped one way or the other. Anybody else interested in contributing?

I can receive donations via PayPal (twiter at herdthecats.com
<twiter at herdhecats.com>), Venmo (@juan-jimenez-677) or Zelle
(781-491-3934). Please type "UKRAINE" in the comment field for any
donations so i can identify them and set them aside.

And please keep your comments about why I am doing this for Ukraine and not
helping people locally to yourself. I have family there and don't need to
justify my actions to you or anyone else. If you want to set up your own
initiatives for local use, go right ahead.

73,
K1CPR
Juan
