What they did to help
Earlier this month, Mila and Ashton promised to match up to $3m in donations to Flexport and Airbnb through GoFundMe.
'Flexport.org is organizing shipments of relief supplies to refugee sites in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Moldova.'
'Airbnb.org is providing free, short-term housing to refugees fleeing Ukraine,' they explained.
