Ukrainian Solidarity: Ukrainian Solidarity

All About Jazz's development team is made up of a few dedicated individuals including Anna Petrova (pictured below). Anna is AAJ's lead programmer, a dear friend, and has been with us since 2011. Her dedication to her craft and to the team has been instrumental in AAJ's success over the years—Anna is absolutely essential. Up until last week, she lived in Odesa / Одеcа. Once the invasion began, she fled her home and moved as far from the bombing as possible—though she's not fully out of harm's way. It's a scary and uncertain time for her and we'll do everything in its power to help her and the organization where she volunteers.

Anna asks everyone to support Ukraine by making a financial contribution to: (1) the Ukrainian Volunteer Service organization (here). UVS purchases and distributes medical supplies including first aid kits, disinfectants, hemostatics, painkillers, antibiotics, etc. or (2) the National Bank of Ukraine's special account to raise funds for Ukraine's armed forces (here).

Please give if you can.
