Dear friends, we are raising funds for protective, safety and medical equipment for the defenders on the East and South of Ukraine.

There is a common belief that all of the safety, protective and medical equipment are things that the Ukrainian government takes care of.

However, this is not entirely true.

The amount of equipment provided by the government is not enough to protect everyone individually. Very often our defenders have to supply themselves at their own cost. Their families, friends, and volunteer organizations have helped fundraise money since the very first day of the war in our country. This includes purchasing a wide range of important equipment like night vision cameras and reconnaissance drones.

What exactly are we raising money for? Here you can see a short breakdown of the items that are constantly in need and unfortunately are extremely expensive.

Average prices for the following equipment:

• ballistic grate goggles/glasses - $100
• bulletproof vest - $600
• headphones (to protect from concussion) - $190
• night vision binocular - from $1000 and up to $10,000
• reconnaissance drone - from $1000 and up to $10,000
• helmet - $250
• medical equipment: tourniquets (CAT), painkillers, hemostatics, bandages
• thermal camera - from $1650 and up to $5000
• tactical molle - $140
• tactical uniform kit - $500

I have seen how many of my friends donate towards humanitarian help, which is definitely important. However the most crucial is support for the Ukrainian defenders.

Millions of refugees, broken lives, tortured and raped people are the “symptoms” of this horrid disease - the “russian world”. We cannot heal only the symptoms without fighting the main cause. To keep our home safe we must protect the people who defend it.

All donations will be sent to our friend Anastasiia Yushchak @anayushchak (Instagram), who volunteers in two different organizations, purchasing supplies and equipment throughout Europe. With a team of herself, her boyfriend and two of their friends, they continue to deliver it to Ukraine.

Their primary goal is to supply Ukrainian defenders with the items that are the most in need, to help save their lives and protect the lives of civilians.

Important note: These people and organizations deliver directly to the frontline only! Those who need it the most.

Every small contribution matters! We will report all purchases that will be made.

Thank you all for your kind support and Slava to Ukraine!
