Let's jump right in, shall we?

Updates

Thank you all! Lots of delivery pics arrived this week from your support over the past few weeks. To start, the 81st thanks you for desperately needed repair parts for one of their vehicles.

They also sent a very nice video thanking you for their new powerstation. We'll post it for your enjoyment as soon as one of us can find the time to do the requisite blurring.

The 25th got some much-needed tools and equipment vital to keeping their drones flying.

The 112th sent their appreciation for their new Starlink.

And last, but definitely not least, our old friends in the 5th Assault Brigade thanks you for their new powerstation.

$2 TACO Tuesday (Please stop the ride - I want off!)

This week's $2 pack features a beautifully illustrated postcard to go with a sheet of stamps and fridge magnet with the famous "theft" of a russian tank by a Ukrainian farmer. Two drone patches finish the pack.

$5 Pack

The $5 pack comes to you from the 1st Battalion of the 143rd Brigade, namely their flag and unit patch. The book "The All-Clear" and three magnets round out this pack.

In closing:

With the "humiliation" of the USA in the media spotlight this week, I started thinking about the world's perception of Ukraine. I have written (ad nauseum) about my journey learning about Ukraine throughout this war. I have developed true friendships with people living there and been inspired by their character and sickened by their losses.

Instead of me yakking, I would love to hear your opinions. Why did you start supporting Ukraine? Has anything in particular impacted you from their fight? What is your view of Ukrainians as a whole, and has that changed at all?

Please, if you have the time or inclination, write a little something in the note section of your ticket purchase; I actively want to hear your stories.

Don't forget:

Givebutter may limit ticket purchases to 10 at a time, but as many of you know, you can always buy additional ticket packs without limit.

UFL has amazing art here if you haven't seen it yet!

And please note that although the event description mentions a livestream, there will be none. And while we do deeply appreciate those of you who choose to donate as well as buying raffle tickets, we want to make it clear that donations are not required to enter the raffle.

The weather in Ukraine is warming up, which means the action at the front will likely follow suit.
