Support a Volunteer in Ukraine With a Donation and Save Lives
If you ask yourself, How can I support a Volunteer in Ukraine, my answer is based on principles I have put in place since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I support trusted people on the ground in Ukraine, as they know where funds are most needed.
I also know that money donated to these volunteers will not be used for personal gain.
I don’t promote big charities because much of their funding goes to overhead and bureaucracy, delaying aid to the volunteers who need it.

Harley Whitehead has recently successfully fundraised for a tractor to aid in humanitarian demining efforts in the Kherson area.
Polina Shumakova, a fellow NAFO fella, fundraises for humanitarian aid supplies for Kharkiv’s residents. Supplies include food, clothing, medicines and treatment for specific medical needs.
Rebekah Maciorowski always has an urgent need for life-saving equipment such as CAT 7 combat application tourniquets and tactical IFAK trauma kits.

How do volunteers in Ukraine receive funding and support?
The volunteers listed here do not receive a salary. They are self-funded and rely on our support. You can assist them by donating to their fundraisers.
Do people who have contracts with the Armed Forces of Ukraine need donations?
In many cases, they do. For example, Rebekah Maciorovski, a contracted combat medic with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, urgently needs the life-saving medical equipment described above.
