Updates

Get ready, because we have lots of updates this week, partly to offset last week's lull, and a huge raffle!

To start, the 43rd Artillery Brigade thanks you for the drone batteries and the Omega Group sends their thanks for a plethora of gear!

And the 25th extends their sincere gratitude for all of your generous support! You can watch their video thanks on our YouTube channel. Robin posted about it on Reddit, and one of the lads behind the drone interceptor program has agreed to be around to answer your burning questions. Check that out here!

$2 TACO Tuesday, this time actually on a Tuesday!

We made it on time, can you believe it?! This week is another collection of Ukrainian goodies collected by Arcaist's network of volunteers.

This week features the book "The All-Clear" by Oleksandr Grekhov. Additionally, a postcard of the famous Snake Island stamp joins a .50 cal keychain made by Arcaist. The casing comes from an operation carried out by "UFL's" GUR unit in which they cleared a russian position.

No raffle pack would be complete without a patch collection, so we have a patch from the 95th as well as a tryzub patch. You should also recognize by now the crochet work of Arcaist's mother in the blue and yellow keychain.

$10 82nd biggun (or, for those of you who don't speak American slang, a "big one")

(With russia doing its best to knock out alllll of Ukraine's power, we have an unholy number of requests for power stations that cost €750/$870 a pop. Hence the $10 pack instead of a normal $5 pack: we want to keep our defenders powered up and functional as best we can.)

The 82nd went all-out to show their appreciation for you consistently generous support! A signed flag, t-shirt (size L), hip flask, coffee mug, two patches, small flag, and large wall clock make this one of the richest packs we have done in a very long time!

Note: unfortunately, the clock mechanism was somehow damaged during transport, so it will need to be replaced.

In closing:

My well of stories and experiences is coming up short this week, which saddens me. I have the luxury of being able to not contribute meaningfully, while Ukraine doesn't have the same benefit. I am warm and safe, preparing for the American holiday Thanksgiving, while my friends in Ukraine aren't.

Please, be thankful for your families, friends, and lives. Honor the struggle the Ukrainians are continuing to experience by recognizing your own prosperity as the gift it is. Thank you for your kindness, love, and support.

Don't forget:

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.

18 November UFL raffle with a huge pack from the 82nd!

A month of thanks and giving to the defenders
