We are a group of people who have links to multiple families in Ukraine. Some of us were born there and have family, including our mothers and sisters still living in Kyiv.

We are appalled and saddened by what we have witnessed across Ukraine over the last few weeks but equally inspired by the warmth and generosity shown across Europe to support Ukraine and its citizens.

We are part of some of the amazing work done to support displaced Ukrainian people but have specifically set up this crowdfunding page to directly raise funds for people staying within Ukraine itself who are bravely doing their best for their country, striving to bring peace and stability back to their homes.

These people are working tirelessly to help the elderly and young families get to safety whilst crucially playing a vital role in guarding civilian populations and countering illegal activity.

To support this, our people desperately need resources that will enable them to work more effectively and detect threats to minimise the danger for everyone. Additionally we are looking for equipment to keep people who have lost their homes alive in the shelters and streets such as sleeping bags, torches and first aid kits.

Your donations will save lives and hopefully bring peace to the beautiful country of Ukraine.
