You Can Save A Life!

Dear donors! Today, my friend and fellow campaign donor, Aleks, delivered 50 Quikclot Gauze Pads (Z-Fold) to Volonterska Sotnya Ukraina-Svit in Kyiv (#5 on Euromaidan Press' "Verified way to help the Ukrainian army": http://euromaidanpress.com/2014/07/04/verified-ways-to-help-the-ukrainian-army/). Quikclot is also a haemostatic like Celox, but a different brand and preferred by some doctors in Ukraine. Given the increased fighting, it made sense to get a portion of these supplies to Ukraine ASAP.

I've also purchased 100 Celox Rapid Z-Gauze pads, which I've already received and will bring with me in mid-March when I go to Kyiv. To date, I've spent a little more than half of the total amount raised. Remaining funds will be used to purchase more gauze pads, CATs, and/or other medical supplies urgently needed. I am awaiting feedback from suppliers about product availability, and will be sure to update you on all purchases I make.

Thanks again for your support, and for saving lives!!! Slava Ukraini - Glory to Ukraine!!!!

Dear supporters! My campaign is now over - thank you again for your donations!!

Since my last 10% match, we collected $2795 for a total of $6260. With my final 10% match of $280, the total amount collected for these supplies is $6,540!!!!

I have already ordered 100 Celox Rapid Z-Fold Gauze Pads at wholesale prices and will begin placing the rest of the orders this week. I will keep you updated on the total amounts purchased. Thank you and have a great week!!! :)

Today was a very sad, bloody day for Ukraine.

Via Euromaidanpr: "After 240 days of relentless defense of Donetsk Airport, it now seems it has fallen... http://ukraineatwar.blogspot.co.uk/

There are reports coming in that 37 defenders were killed today (via Vlad Sergeev, doctor of medic. detach. Nat. Guard): https://www.facebook.com/boroda.kiev/posts/850563241654200

Glory to the brave defenders that did not abandon their oath. May we live a life to honor your names."

Your generous support will save the lives of many heroes. Thank you, once again, for your donations.

Dear supporters!! Just a quick update to let you know that last week, we exceed the $5,000 goal and are now at $5,165!! This was possible because of your generosity - thank you, so very much!!

With the situation in Eastern Ukraine escalating once again --- this weekend at least 3 soldiers were killed and 66 wounded --- these supplies are even more vital and will need to be replenished...

There are just 12 days left in the campaign. When it's over, I'll be sure to send another update with the final amount collected. Please, feel free to share with family and friends who may be interested in donating before the end of the month. Thanks again, from the bottom of my heart!!

Thank you all again for your generosity!! We are now just $600 short of the $5,000 goal, and there are still 23 days left! Your support is very much appreciated!!

Also, want to share some good news: I've been in contact with several people who will be able to supply these items at wholesale prices- at about a 50% discount. So, your donation is making double the impact and saving even more lives!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! :)

Another day, another $1,000 raised... $1,150 to be exact!!!! Thank you, again, for your generous support!!

Another $115 (10% match) has been contributed to the fund thanks to you!!! :)

Thanks to all who have already donated!! So far, $2000 has been raised, so I'm contributing an extra $200 to the fund - as promised, I'm matching all donations by 10% to make your dollar go further!!! Thank you for your support!!
