I don't know if we're allowed to post Kickstarters here, but this one is from Ukraine.

My wife and I collect playing cards, and there are some very good playing card designers and printing companies in Ukraine. Some of them have collaborated to make playing card decks to symbolize the Ukrainian resistance to Russia. I've already pledged to one Kickstarter, and I've pledged to this one as well. It's a way to directly support a Ukrainian business.

I'm on a fixed income or I'd donate - sounds like a good cause!

I should also say that I did pledge to this project, but I am not affiliated in any way with them. I just think the playing cards have beautiful art and I would like to do something to support a Ukrainian business. I also wanted to give the evening/night crew a chance to see this.
