Our charity specializes in raising funds for critical tactical and medical supplies and delivering those supplies directly to the the front lines of the war.
​
All missions to the front are fully documented to allow our donors to see the direct results of their contributions.
​
100% of all donations received are used for these critical supply and support missions and all of our operations are conducted entirely by volunteers.
Help Us Fund Our Current Mission!
We are presently seeking donations to launch an immediate tactical and medical resupply to the eastern front lines of Ukraine.
Our supported units are in desperate need of critical tactical and medical equipment and we are presently requesting donations to purchase Helmets, Individual First Aid Kits, Body Armor, Optics, Hearing Protection and Thermal and Night Vision systems.
Mission 3:
November 7, 2022
After our second trip we knew there was so much more needed. We wanted to make a more significant impact so Aiden spent the summer months raising funds through his shows at the Stanley Hotel.
​
By summers end, the theaters profits and the generous donations made by guests of Aiden's theater amounted to nearly $175,00.00.
​
We used these funds to pursuer supplies for e coming harsh winter n Ukraine.
As winter approached we knew that there would be great need for cold weather gear and sleeping bags.
The relationships we had developed over our previous trips allowed us to increase our number of contacts in the country and we began supporting the specific need of units serving in the most hazardous regions of the war.
These units began letting us know the things they needed to be more effective and the range of supplies we were able to provide expanded.
​
In addition to medical supplies we were able to procure hearing protection and much needed power banks.
With the support of our partner NGO in Poland, we were able to take 22 bags and 2,200lbs of supplies to units fighting on the front.
Donations of protective gear from the Estes Park Police Department provide ballistic helmets and more body armor to the front lines.
These supplies were delivered to units serving both in the battle of Bakhmut and units operating in the south of Ukraine in Kherson.
During this trip to Ukraine, Russia began targeting the electrical grid and power failures became common in the country. One of these occurred as we shopped for groceries. The checkout agent just put on a headlamp. Life in Ukraine,

Thanks to a very generous donation by Mr. Bob Rhue while we were in Ukraine, we were able to purchase generators to provide these units with effective power for when the outages came.
Upon our return from this trip, we immediately began planning the next.
