Johnson & Johnson Suture kits (assorted thread and needle guage and cutter-type, Tensors, self-adherent bandages (Coband), sterile gloves, tubular gauze, split/cast padding, irrigation syringes AND an unexpected Hyfrecator… have been received and catalogued. Unsure of the device, research followed and if you’re curious: A hyfrecator is a low-powered medical apparatus used in electrosurgery on conscious patients, usually in an […]

Will add more info shortly, heading to the shirt printer to press some shirts!

We went into Kharkiv during the 2022 mission to deliver 10,000kg of food, medicine, and hygiene products  to the citizens remaining in the city. Fighting was happening in different parts of the city and no stores were open, the people remaining were very low on supplies. The artillery at night was unrelenting. Because of the […]

Delighted to be in a city with open stores… despite random explosions throughout the city. We have two days here to make contact with our connections in the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade and a non-profit running casualty-evacuation (“CasEvac”) services to the Battalions operating in Bakhmut. With a refrigerator and a stove, its definitely time to […]

The sun is shining but it’s a little smokey from the relentless shelling in a small city on the outskirts of Bakhmut. We’ve rolled into town a little before 1900 and everything is shutting down for the night due to a 2000 curfew. There are collaborators in the area, so people need to be in […]

Kharkiv is only 30km from the Ukraine-Russia boarder and is Ukraine’s second largest city. In March of 2022, during the first mission, it was baren with just a few scattered handfuls of civilians. Over two years later, the people have returned they’ve tried to pick up where they left things. War requires a different type […]

The convoy was having trouble sourcing transmission parts so a new plan was formed. The donations for Bakhmut stayed with the Polish convoy and one box of medical donations (bone guns, diabetic needles, tensor bandages, etc.) and some personal protective gear went via autobus to Kyiv for distribution and two of the rucks (field splints, […]

A kind volunteer enroute from Poland in a donated vehicle he was driving to a unit defending the Bakhmut front answered our transportation request. He was meeting up with another vehicle with donated goods for the unit the next morning and had room for our donations, plus one. We didn’t get far before one of […]

The supply of iFaks was bolstered today with the generous assistance of “Razon for Ukraine” with their unexpected provision of six complete iFak pouches (about ($600 USD) that will accompany M2UA to Slovyansk (just outside Bakhmut) for the first project in the hotzone. There have been a number of other financial contributions in recent days […]

Hard at it for the second full day of iFak building. Not much to update here but its clear that the project is going to need some help to achieve meet operational metrics. Secured e a lead on a potential donor to help bolster our supplies all our favourite international charities are noted to be […]

A local volunteer coordinator has put me up for a few days in Lviv while I get organized, source a few more supplies, and prepare for my trip East. The first order of business is building Individual First Aid Kits (otherwise known as an iFak. Each soldier should carry one for treatment supplies in the […]

This sums up exactly why I’m here… these brave boys are holding the line and they’ve earned all the respect I can give. Just waiting for my sleeping key-holder to pass on the key to my place. Then it’s a quick nap after a sleepless night and down to work. Building iFaks (individual first-aid kits) […]

For unknown reasons, three of the four bags exited the flight on the stop-over in Frankfurt. When they weren’t on the baggage carousel our the over-sized baggage claim – the thought that they were being screened by customs was the logical explanation. However, after an hour of waiting the matter was investigated by Airport Services […]

Here we are on May, 03, 2023 – all packed up and ready to depart to Ukraine for 8 weeks with 180 kilograms of medical and non-lethal tactical supplies. Equipped with three 120-litre US Airforce deployment rucksacks, external frames and waist-belts that were generously donated by a contact in Alaska that I met in Lviv […]
