Are we actually helping?

Yes.

It may not seem like it, when you see billions of USD and Euros going to support Ukraine, but your contributions here make a marked impact in everyday Ukrainian defenders' lives.

We work to make the lives of individual defenders better. We don't have a payroll or an office, so your donations have an outsized impact compared to big organizations. The main thing, though, is to know that you have a direct and measurable effect on real people. When you contribute to buy a tourniquet, you are potentially saving the life of an actual Ukrainian soldier. When you contribute to buy a powerbank or a vehicle, you are actually making the job more efficient of a real person.

The proceeds this week will support that mission through the UFL general fund. I have been remiss lately in sending out updates (vacation + summer cold = no work), but I plan on getting through my backlog this week.

This week:

We have a twofer again this week, a special $2 offering and a big $5 multi-pack from the 17th Special Purpose Center as a thank-you for helping them out with a vehicle and its repairs.

$2 Tuesday

This one is special to me.

This is an amazing book of photography, "How we walk through the fire" that was published last year, signed by several contributors, as well as a rocking wall calendar.

Last year when I delivered tacmed and a vehicle into Ukraine, I met with friends I had made. One of those friends (from Kharkiv) gave me this book to help raise funds after she personally collected the signatures from the photographers. I brought it out of Ukraine and now you have the chance to win it!

$5 17th collection

The 17th sent us a collection in thanks for your help with a vehicle that we repaired from the UFL general fund. They also received a powerbank and tacmed to go along with the vehicle and its repairs. As a hint as to the difficulties UFL faces with vehicles, Arcaist named their vehicle "Bastard", which was well-earned.

If you win, you will get a fridge magnet, unit patch, water bottle, and plaque.

In closing:

The war continues, claiming the lives and prosperity of Ukrainians every day. In spite of that, you continue to support their efforts, making their lives and their tasks better.

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.

The $2 Tuesday ticket is, not surprisingly, $2 each. The 17th pack ticket is $5. 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!

The Tuesday raffle continues!
