$30,000 drone parts = drones valued at $ 2.3 million

On November 18, 2025, Latvia celebrates their independence day.  Latvia and latvians understand that their independence is linked to the independence of Ukraine.  The support we provide has a direct impact on the future of Latvia.

Ligzda (Ligzda Latvian Center) is launching its next fundraising campaign in support of Latvia and Ukraine. Its goal is to raise $30,000 within 15 days.  Every dollar donated will be doubled with the help of an anonymous donor.

Ligzda has supported the organization "SOS Palidziba Ukrainas Armijai" (SOS) to provide needed supplies to the Ukrainians.  Every month, SOS delivers both donated and purchased supplies to Ukrainians.  Over the last 10 months, SOS has supplied drone parts to the Ukrainians that are used to "revive" broken drones.  It is estimated that drones valued over $2,000,000 have been "revived" with $26,000 of drone parts.  

We are reaching out to all supporters of Ukraine in America and elsewhere to invite you to donate to this campaign!
