We cannot stop the war in Ukraine, but we can at least stop the bloodshed.
Civilians and their rescuers are dying every day not only from bombs, but from treatable blood loss. In basements, on the battlefield, and even in the care of doctors – Without the necessary supplies it is impossible to save their lives.
But you can save these lives!
We are a group of American, Polish, and Ukrainian volunteers working on the ground in Warsaw and Ukraine to bring critical medical supplies from US suppliers to hospitals and civilian defense forces in Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv.
We are raising funds for Gen 7 Combat Application Tourniquets – the same ones used by the US army.
- They are the world’s best tourniquets
- They can stop the blood in the matter of seconds
- They not only save lives, but also prevent arms and legs from being amputated
100% of donations to this fundraiser will go toward the purchase and expediting of tourniquets to Warsaw, where our team will rapidly distribute them through existing channels to the areas in Ukraine where they are needed most.
The cost of 1 tourniquet is $23. This is the cost of one life.
Ready to stop the blood? Your donation will become someone’s chance at life! We thank you for your support and for taking time to save lives.
What are Combat Application Tourniquets, and why are they so important?
We asked a doctor from the National Children's Specialized Hospital "Okhmatdyt" in Kyiv to show you how these tourniquets work. It's the most important life saving device for anyone hit in a combat zone, especially civilians who are caught in artillery fire and sustain injuries from shrapnel and rubble.
