My wife says there are folks donating frequent flyer miles to help get children (and others) out of Ukraine. Does anyone know of an organization collecting them for this purpose?
Donating frequent flyer miles to Ukrainians?

This was copied and pasted from a F.B. account if anyone is interested. I am not affiliated with these folks but like the idea.
MG's Vision & lights on Holt Road
The connecting people, uniting the world mission is growing during this humanitarian crisis.
Todays agenda for me is to work in concert with other frequent travelers from across the country from multiple airlines, to identify families who are in dire need of a flight to anywhere in the world where their loved ones may be.
We realize this effort has grown to such a high level that we need to streamline and have a single source of communication to prevent communications from getting lost or overlooked. We have created an email to be used for our frequent flyer donors as well to be used by families who are in need of a flight. The email is:
[email protected]
Recapping the process:
Frequent flyers who wish to pledge their miles to book a flight, we need to know the number of miles and on how many flights you wish to sponsor. Based on that, we will provide you with the basic information of the person or persons needed to book those flights. For privacy and security we are not asking anyone to transfer miles between accounts or share any personal information in regards to your mileage account. As you know there is a very small fee when booking an award ticket. If you could cover that as well, it would be very much appreciated. If you are unable, please communicate with me privately and we will work it out. When you email please let us know how many miles you are looking to donate and which airlines they are from and we will match you with a family!
To the families we may be helping..
Please note and be aware of potential scammers. We will not ask you for any money, financial information, government documents, such as passport /visa or driver licenses. The only thing we will ask when you send the information to the email above is the very basic of what's needed to book a flight your full name, date of birth, gender and nationality, please do not send a picture of any government document. We don't need that. If you get something that looks suspicious please share on our page and our followers will quickly identify any potential scammers they always do..
To any one who who has try to reach out with helpful relevant information on this efforts and have not yet got a response please continue to be persistent
Thank you to all of you who continue to support us, because of you we are able to reach across the world and help to bring families to safety..

Sounds like a great idea but my inclination would be to contact the airline you have miles with directly to see if they have such a program. I have to admit I would be a bit concerned sending them the information they request.
