Prevent Russia’s surprise night attacks! Help us buy
night vision equipment for the Ukrainians fighting for their
country and freedom.
Russia carries out many of its “special operations” at
night. The Ukrainians guarding cities and military targets need night
vision goggles (NVG)to thwart these attacks.
Ukrainians have stunned the world with their bravery and
strength, but they need help.
We purchase NVGs and work with
the international shipping company to safely deliver them to Ukraine. Please see updates below for thank-you videos from the Ukrainians.
Special Thank You to our partner Night Vision Guys (American company owned by an American-Ukrainian) for supplying the goggles and for their own generous donation.
"In today's world... there is no longer someone else's war. None of you can feel safe when there is a war in Ukraine, when there is a war in Europe" ~ Pres. Volodymyr Zelensky

Please help keep Ukrainians warm during this winter as they fight for their right to exist.

Update #10 July 16, 2022
Shelby Wilder, a journalist and filmmaker covering Ukraine, reports that the number 1 request she received across the board was for the Night Vision Equipment. (See video https://youtu.be/lvzDuYfHT1w) Shelby has contacted our organization asking for help.
Please help us send another shipment. It's been a while since we had asked - we have been spending our directors' money to help Ukraine and really need you.
Please continue to support Ukraine. For the little girl who was killed yesterday, for the children who need their fathers and mothers to come home alive.
Good News - 501(c)(3) status, get your tax deductions! May 2, 2022
BIG news: the IRS confirmed our tax exempt status. What does this mean for YOU? That all your donations are tax deductible under IRC Section 170. So, if you have been wanting to donate while reducing your taxable income, now is the time!
Ukrainians are extremely happy with your help, they love our equipment, and continue to ask for more of the same. We ship on a rolling basis as donations come in.
Finally, we are in the process of transporting 66 tons of humanitarian aid to Ukraine and collecting money for transport. While humanitarian aid is not our focus at the moment (territorial defense is), we do get involved when necessary.
Thank you all and Slava Ukraini!

Update #8 April 14, 2022
Another shipment of NVG just left! Thank you for continuing to make this happen. Thank you for being friends of Ukraine. The fighting is getting intense in the East and we are shipping to the hotspots now.
Please see above a video from Ukraine thanking for your donations and emphasizing how important the Night Vision Goggles are for them. (if the link does not work, copy and paste into your browser). Our shipments are getting to Ukraine without a glitch.
We continue our efforts. We have started a nonprofit Fight With Ukraine (IRS determination pending) and need $110K to send bulletproof helmets. As the world is getting accustomed to the war, the donations slow down. But the war rages on and Ukrainians still need us. Please continue to share and donate, so we can save lives these people are so bravely risking for Ukraine and for what is right.
We have reached our goal for NVG and the third shipment is leaving this Monday! Thank you for making this happen!
Our work is not done yet. I am getting many requests for helmets. How do I tell people who are dodging bullets that I do not have money to send them bulletproof helmets? We need $120k to ship 350 helmets. Please help by donating or sharing the link. It helps to share on LinkedIn and Nextdoor. THANK YOU for everything!
Update #3 March 15, 2022
The second batch shipped today! Thank you Night Vision Guys (local American company owned by a Ukrainian American - it must have been fate) for working with us to make this happen. The shipment will arrive in Delaware tomorrow and will be picked up by our partner Meest to be delivered to Ukraine. Thank you to all our donors who have been quick to spread the word and make this happen. The Ukrainian people wanted me to thank you all and tell you they feel your support and it lifts their spirits.
Update #2 March 14, 2022
We are almost at 80%! Shipment number 2 leaving today/tomorrow. I am getting a lot of questions from Ukraine about getting more. They are very happy we are helping. Video update here
Update #1 March 11, 2022
Friends,
We have reached 70% off our goal! (some donations were sent to me directly, so the actual funds raised = $70,000!) We have already shipped the first batch to Ukraine! Thank you all for your donations, your prayers/thoughts, your kind words, and most of all for supporting Ukrainian people. Please continue to share with your friends.
And huge thank you to abc news and some radio stations for bringing attention to this fundraiser.
