What we did last event
Our AIM
The current situation in Ukraine is extremely dire. Dozens of missiles rain down daily across the country, leaving no place truly safe. The frontline becomes increasingly difficult to sustain, as the aggressor takes more territory and leaves behind death and destruction. International attention and support in the media are waning, making it even harder to gather the crucial funds, medical supplies, vehicles, and other resources needed to resist such a powerful adversary.
Despite the challenges, we believe in the power of people coming together to make a difference. Governments may act slowly, but we, as individuals, can step up and create change. Together, we are strong. That’s why we’re organizing this event—to do everything we can to support those in need.
All proceeds from this event will go toward two essential goals:
-
Supporting the Donbas Operational Battalion (БОП "Донбас"), which urgently needs a vehicle to carry out critical tasks and transport wounded soldiers out of dangerous areas.
-
Providing medical aid through a dedicated volunteer group (Volunteers with no Limits), focusing especially on supplying life-saving equipment like to hotspots across Ukraine.
Your support truly matters—it saves lives, offers hope, and helps Ukraine stand strong against this aggression. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Thank you for joining us in this mission of solidarity and resilience.
