For those of you who plan to tune in and don't know us yet: We're a tiny US-based 501(c)3 supplying medical, humanitarian, and other non-lethal aid to Ukraine's defenders. Right now we're working on loading up @UFL_Robin with as much tacmed as we can get, which is way more than she can carry, for her to deliver to Ukraine in August. We'd hoped to have a photo for you of some of what she already has to bring over, but her cat's napping in her work area. 1/3

To donate: paypal.com/ncp/payment/LA9MU… givebutter.com/UFL_Tacmed_Fu… amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/N5… These are conversations @RachelPAV and I have had recently with soldiers who need tacmed resupply. Some orgs and volunteers are still providing cheap knockoffs that are only good for training people to recognize cheap knockoffs. Soldiers shouldn't have to ask us not to send Chinese Temu gauzes. We're facing a tacmed emergency: we have teams who need a LOT of resupply. You're going to see a lot of fundraising posts from us in the coming weeks, as we both have teams who need @UFL_Robin to bring as much as humanly possible when she goes in August. We need to raise a lot of money because the soldiers need the real stuff, and the real stuff costs a lot of money. The first screenshot is part of the request list for the team with 60th Brigade who shared their cat, Arthur, with us. We just got connected with them; he didn't know yet that we only supply the real deal. It's infuriating that he actually had to specify "no chinese TEMU hemo gauze :( ". The second three are a longer conversation Rachel and I had a few days ago with a guy from another team. He requested "a pre-built IFAK with good quality stuff throughout," because the last time he got IFAKs, they were from a well-known org based in the US, and they turned out to be crap. That last screenshot shows the pre-stocked IFAK I priced out for him. Note that it comes out to a little over $185. The IFAKs he got from the other org were $68. You cannot produce a decent IFAK for $68 without cutting corners. Cutting corners gets people killed. You'll notice that only 1/3 of their $68 IFAK is actually usable in the field. We're four years into this. People should know better than to send crap components by now, but here we are. We wanted you to see these so that you understand why we need to raise so much money to resupply these guys, plus the 63rd, plus our own stashes in country, plus anyone else who asks between now and when Robin goes in August.

⚕️An assault team with 60th Brigade would like you to meet Arthur.🐈‍⬛ They need to replace $2500 worth of med supplies they lost in battle--a new med bag, some XSTAT 30s, IFAK refill kits, saline solution, TXA, and more--and are shamelessly using Arthur's cuddly cheeks and lovely ears to tug your heartstrings for donations. They write: "Arthur is a cat found randomly while waiting for EXFILL vehicle snuggling to a boot of a soldier hiding under a burnt down tree, in a burnt down Forrest of a country thrown into the arms of war. "Arthur doesnt forget. Arthur is doing what he can while waiting for a visit to the vet and being handed to his new home as west as possible. Till then Arthur will do his best to defend our residence from pests while we keep the bigger threat at bay. "We hope Arthurs cuddly cheeks and his lovely ears will pull some heartstrings so people keep fighting the fight from the homefront by donations. Every little helps. Every bandage that we dont need to buy equals to funds we can use here. Whether its buying mission critical equipment, cat food or organizing a place for lost animals."

OPERATION BURY @UFL_Robin Robin's going back to 🇺🇦 in August. As usual, she needs to bring a truly inconvenient amount of aid with her. She wants to STRUGGLE, y'all. It takes 5 suitcases to bury one Robin. We're at two right now, thanks to the fine folks at Sawyer, who donated 50 2-gallon filter systems. We'd love to fill at least 8 more, with tacmed in particular, to resupply our stashes in Ukraine and Germany, plus Iryna from Odesa and Sergei from Mariupol. See below for how to help! 1/
