What in the ever-loving heck is going on?

I don't want to live in "interesting times". Uncertainty, temper tantrums, and bombast fill the news headlines, shouldering aside the struggles that Ukraine continues to face. Not only did Ukraine face a broken cease-fire (was anyone surprised?) and horrific terrorist missile attacks against Kryvyi Rih and Kharkiv, but now we have an imminent russian offensive of ~30,000 orcs in the Lyman direction.

Nothing I can do will change the world, but we can make a difference in the lives of Ukrainian defenders who ask us for help. Thank you for enabling that.

This week:

Our general fund needs help, again. UFL gets so many requests for help that aren't large enough to warrant a full fundraiser, but add up very quickly and often come with time constraints.

Drones supplies are one of the most widely-requested items. Extra batteries, tablets for controlling them, antennas; all are unremarkable in themselves, but provide a critical tool for Ukrainian defenders. These drones aren't the huge, fancy, Baba Yaga weapon systems, but the small drones relied upon by individual infantry units for reconnaissance and situational awareness. Even two extra batteries can mean the difference between constant surveillance and a potentially deadly down-time.

In fact, this entire post is in reference to the 81st Airmobile Brigade, who requested two batteries and spare drone parts from UFL_Arcaist just yesterday. Every Ukrainian unit needs everything they can get to survive.

$2 Tuesday tickets

We have two dual packs to raffle off this week, with $2 tickets for each. As a nod to the theme of the week, UFL_Arcaist raided his stash and found items that were given to him as "thank-yous" for items received from the general fund.

Duo #1

You should recognize the combat medic patch for the Khyzhak Brigade - you bought them a truck they named Борсук (Borsuk) in this fundraiser. The flag comes signed from the 21st Mechanized Brigade.

Duo #2

This patch is from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade, and is paired with a flag with the emblem of the 13th Separate Motorized Infantry Battalion "Chernihiv".

In closing:

I hope you like the campaign updates. As you can see, there can be quite the delay between when UFL purchases something for a unit to when the unit can send a "thank you".

As long as you keep supporting UFL's mission, I will keep saying it; thank you.

Please note

Though 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.

Each of the $2 Tuesday tickets are, not surprisingly, $2 each. Both are unlimited in quantity, but Givebutter still limits purchases to 10 at a time. But please, feel free to purchase as many times as you want!
