A volunteer group that supplies small batches of life-saving equipment to specific units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

We partner with a US 501(c)3 nonprofit Air to All in our purchases of medical supplies.

🎯 Why?

Our friend's father has been conscripted. He's joined a severely under-equipped frontline unit: the soldiers lack radio transmitters, first aid kits, thermal imagers, night vision devices, binoculars, and body protection.

We tried contacting large charities hoping for help, but they turned out to be overwhelmed with requests and large-scale logistics issues of their own. We now have to take care of the critical needs of our close ones ourselves.

👥 Who we are?

**Val Sanin** and Nadiia Martyniuk who ****work together at YouTeam (YC W18), with the support of Sasha Lipman, the founder of tech2impact.

We're a group of regular Ukrainians who want to support our country's defenses, protect our home, and save as many lives as possible.

We joined our forces to fundraise, purchase, deliver the equipment to under-equipped military units all over Ukraine that need support now.

Currently we're focusing on the needs of a particular platoon on the front line, the platoon our friend's father was drafted into. We're also providing help to the other platoons in that brigade.

We directly connect with the units.
