Some people have found a novel way to get money to Ukrainians as their country is under attack from Russia: booking immediate Airbnb stays they don''t intend to use. Airbnb hosts are paid 24 hours 24 hours after a guest checks in, so people abroad are booking stays and letting hosts know that it''s a gesture of solidarity, and they don''t plan to appear. The idea spread over the last few days, and Airbnb is waiving all host and guest fees in Ukraine for now. On Wednesday and Thursday, more than 61,000 nights were booked in Ukraine from around the world — bookings that grossed nearly $2 million, Airbnb tells NPR. The bookings have helped build a sense of connection Sarah Brown, a 42-year-old who lives in Salt Lake City, is one of those who got the ball rolling in a Facebook group for Airbnb hosts. She booked a stay in Kyiv. The host thanked Brown for her support, writing: "It does matter and it does help us to survive these hardest days." Someone in the Facebook group noted that it was important to support Ukrainians in places other than Kyiv, so Brown booked two more stays in smaller cities, with plans for more.
