Yesterday I shared an idea to support Ukraine by booking rooms for rent on AirBNB. 24 hours later, 100's of people are booking AirBnBs in Ukraine as a way to send immediate monetary assistance to people in hard-hit areas. The messages in response from the hosts are so moving

Many people with a serious illness need to travel for care, but can't afford the cost of temporary housing. So today, we're expanding Open Homes for hosts to list their homes for free to those traveling for medical needs. airbnb.com/medical
