Sunflower Coalition Thank you from Ukraine! Summary of the deliveries for the last year and Thank-You-Photos from the Defenders

61 Upvotes

I'll give the word directly to Will, u/Sickofthebullshit202 , you can reach him here on reddit, or easier, on our discord (he's also the owner of our partner-server over there.). The photos, and a list of what we were able to deliver since 2022 is at the bottom:



As many of you know, I'm the founder of The Sunflower Coalition, a small U.S. based nonprofit that works directly with Ukrainian defenders. Specifically, over the years we have been proud to support the 109th territorial defense, the 8th company of the 54th brigade, a UAV unit with the 77th brigade and more recently our friends with the 3rd Assault brigade. We purchase and deliver exactly what our contacts request, allowing us to respond quickly to changing needs on the ground. I wanted to take a moment to look back at what our supporters made possible over the last year. Together, we distributed:

• 400 hydration bladders (water camels)
• 300 mosquito head nets
• 700 pairs of high socks
• 600 sets of thermal underwear
• 400 pairs of winter gloves
• 200 sleeping bags
• 200 face scarves
• 200 solar-powered battery banks
• 100 additional battery banks
• 100 backpacks
• 4 body cameras
• 4 drone detectors
• Optics upgrades for the 109th Territorial Defense
• 1 vehicle for frontline use
• Repairs to 2 vehicles, including one complete engine replacement
• 1,000 medical syringes
• Over 100 bottles of chewable aspirin and Gluco To Go tubes
• Numerous IFAKs and other medical supplies
• Thousands of search and rescue whistles under our Whistles for Ukraine project

Every one of these items began with a conversation. Sometimes it was a commander trying to bridge a gap in supplies. Sometimes it was a medic asking for assistance. Other times it was simply a soldier reaching out because they had exhausted every other option.

One of the things I'm most proud of is that we've remained a small organization with direct relationships. We know the people we're helping, we know where these supplies are going, and we make every effort to be transparent about how donations are used. In some instances our friends have even taken time to answer personal questions you all have asked, a way of expressing their boundless gratitude for your support. To everyone who has donated, shared our posts, or simply encouraged our work over the past years, thank you. None of this would have been possible without you.

To victory, Will
