From March 2nd to March 3rd, people from around the world booked 61,000 nights in Ukrainian cities via Airbnb, likely not one ever planning to check-in, or reschedule.

It's part of a creative social media campaign to channel funds into besieged cities where something like aid drops or supply trucks can't reach, and it has seen $1.9 million raised for Ukrainians in just those 48 hours.

In the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, Volodymyr Bondarenko had 10 people book into his room in a single day. "This was surprising, it's very supportive at the moment," 36-year-old Bondarenko told CNN early Friday. "I told many of my relatives and friends that I plan to use this money to help our people who need it at this time."

Airbnb has said it is offering temporary housing in neighboring countries to up to 100,000 Ukrainians who are fleeing. It's also waiving guest and host fees in the country to support individuals donating.

"We are so humbled by the inspiring generosity of our community during this moment of crisis," said Haven Thorn, a company spokesperson. He asked those willing to help by hosting Ukrainians or donating to their efforts to visit Airbnb's website to find additional ways to support or information.

One way anyone can help is by opening their home to Ukrainian refugees as an Airbnb host, for which the company will cover you with Aircover, a one million dollar hosting insurance policy. Airbnb also partners with non-profits and charities to help contribute to the guests' basic needs.

The hospitality service isn't the only community-based service that is helping out. Etsy has decided to cancel the current balances owed to Etsy by all sellers in Ukraine, which includes listing fees, transaction fees, advertising fees, and more-a roughly $4 million relief package.

An online portal in Ireland for hosting refugees crashed Monday night after receiving more than 4,000 pledges.

Organized by the Irish Red Cross, medium- to long-term accommodation pledges of 6-12 months stay flooded in. Secretary General of the Irish Red Cross, Liam O'Dwyer, said he was "astonished" by the number of housing pledges.

The Temporary Protection Directive was activated in Ireland, as by all EU member states in response to the Ukraine Crisis. It sets prevailing norms for the treatment of displaced persons in order to ensure no EU country is singled out for mass influxes of refugees based on favorable social policies.

It establishes access to basic medical care, temporary housing, access to the labor market, and education and social welfare.
