All donated money in Bitcoin or through bank accounts. Unfortunately, many bank accounts were blocked, and transfers in Bitcoin couldn't be transformed into real money.

That is the only way we are sure that the funds of our community reach where they are needed," said Andrei Simion, project CEO.On the other hand, for the refugees that travel to Germany, the members of the team from this country offers assistance in view of completing legal forms, ensuring employment and short-term accommodation.
