I don’t have many paid subscriptions, simply because of budget, but not only your writing but your commitment and perceptiveness make Chills one of them. Now add an additional layer of doggedness. Of course, with everyone else, I wish you safety and success at getting the story.
What does a father say to his daughter when she tells him that she is going to these places?
Only encouraging words! For Lauren, this is what drives her and it is something that she must do. Worried? Yes, of course. Petrified! But, as I have tried to do for most of her life, I stand with her and tell that she will do this better than anyone else, because she will.
The atrocious war crimes need to be written about in order for the world to understand the depth of wickedness being committed by Russian. I know you will keep yourself safe because your work is so vital. I will be praying for an end to this illegal war and for your return, may the pen be mightier that the bullet.
This list is mind-boggling. Do you bring extra power banks as well to charge your devices? I highly recommend extra eyeglasses if not on your list. Not easily replaceable most places. Hoping your fixer is all you need them to be. I’m in awe of the courage you have, running into war zones.
I don’t do Venmo, does PayPal get cash to you easily? Want to help.
I do. Chargers upon chargers upon plug attachments. And I've never brought extra glasses, but good idea! And I feel weird accepting contributions, but thank you. It's my full name at gmail.

Learned the hard way with the eyeglasses. Not something I want to repeat. And please don’t feel weird. You are doing something very few can or will. It’s an honor to help.
Might be worth noting, if your iPhone is relatively new, you can switch your US plan to an eSIM and then put a local SIM in when you get there, having both SIMs in at the same time is really useful when traveling.

Love you, dad.

Please be extra careful! You are very important to all of us!
Aw, thank you!

Thanks! Never heard of this. Will look into it.
Ah, I have an iPhone SE, so it looks like it's only for the 13s+.
