UPDATE - December 2024: Drone Jammer for our MEDEVAC Team

With our ground operations returning in Ukraine, the security environment in frontline areas has drastically changed. Russian explosive drones now pose a significant threat to MEDEVAC crews in frontline areas, making drone jamming systems a critical necessity. These kamikaze drones have become one of the deadliest challenges in this conflict, with Russian forces known to specifically target ambulances and medical facilities without warning.

One kit to protect a single ambulance costs $5,247.18 US dollars. Your donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to keeping our staff and patients safe. Please give today and help us save lives.

**** To donate, please write “JAMMER” in the donation comments.****

UPDATE: November 2024 - Donations for Ben

Ben (Benya) Asack, who has deployed with GDRT three times, is heading back to the frontlines as a volunteer paramedic working alongside a Ukrainian medical team. He recently completed two weeks of intensive training to prepare for this vital mission. As a volunteer, Ben will not receive a cent for his service, meaning he relies entirely on donations to sustain his efforts.

For just a weekly $4 subscription —the price of a cup of coffee— you can keep Ben in Ukraine, fighting to save lives and training medics. We also urgently need funds for a drone jammer for his MEDEVAC vehicle to stop deadly Russian kamikaze drones, keeping Ben and his team safe. In addition, he needs blood transfusion equipment to save the lives of wounded soldiers and civilians.

During his rotations off from the frontline, Ben will be teaching a Combat Medic Course (CMC) to further equip soldiers with critical lifesaving skills. Your donations won’t just support Benya – it force multiplies. For every course Ben teaches, approximately 15 new Combat Medics are ready to save the lives of soldiers and innocent civilians along Ukraine’s frontlines. This amplifies your impact, creating a lifeline that stretches far beyond one person.

All donations are tax-deductible through GDRT, a 501(c)(3). Let’s support Ben in his vital mission!

**** To donate, please write “BEN” in the donation comments.****

Help save lives in Ukraine today.

Your contribution will go towards treating the wounded, helping people evacuate from red zones, gain access to life-saving medicine, and find safe places outside of active war zones.
