This year, I’m celebrating my birthday with purpose.

Giving Tuesday is on December 2, and my birthday follows on December 3 — so I’m combining these two days into one meaningful fundraiser for Brighter Ukraine Foundation.

For the past 4 years, we’ve worked directly with frontline medics, units, and volunteers to deliver the medical supplies and equipment that truly save lives. This year, instead of birthday gifts, I’m asking for support for something essential:

Medical supplies and equipment that strengthen Ukraine’s drone operations — tablets, cables, antennas, and other mission-critical gear.

These tools help drone teams evacuate the wounded quickly, identify threats, and prevent casualties. The right equipment saves lives — and right now, the need is urgent.

If you’d like to support my birthday, Giving Tuesday, or simply stand with Ukraine, please consider contributing.
Every amount matters. Every donation makes a real difference for those risking their lives every day.

With gratitude,
Arina & Brighter Ukraine Team

We provide humanitarian aid, medical supplies, clothing and toys to refugees, women, and children that are directly affected by the war in Ukraine. Additionally, we supply the Ukrainian frontline defenders and supporters with necessary medical supplies and protective tactical equipment to save their lives while protecting their families and country. We are looking toward the future of a Brighter Ukraine through the physical rebuilding of cities and community while sharing the beautiful Ukrainian culture. We feel it is important to create cultural experiences within our monthly events to keep the Ukrainian culture alive among Ukrainians in the United States and to enrich the lives of Americans by connecting them with the Ukrainian community and sharing art, music, and tradition.
