Mission 5:
FEBRUARY 12, 2024

Donations and direct fund raising slowed as the war continues. This required more direct funding to facilitate the missions to Ukraine.

As such, Aiden Sinclair donated all profits from his theatrical productions for the year to fund another mission.

With congressional delays in Ukrainian Aid, there are significant shortages being seen on the front lines. As the need for ammunition and tactical equipment becomes more of a priority, the medical needs fall behind.

As we are in daily contact with front line medics we assembled what critical supplies we could and began making our way back to Ukraine with 1800 lbs of medical supplies and MREs.

We were met in Poland by our partner Joe who is on the ground in Ukraine every day delivering supplies to the front. With his team mate Newcastle, we loaded up the van and headed down range.

As we crossed the border into Ukraine we found the new humanitarian aid process has been made much more secure and efficient by the Ukrainian government and we made quick work of customs.

We would travel our first day to Lviv and awake after four hours of sleep to sound of the air raid alarm and a rocket attack nearby.

Initially we were going to meet Kevin in Kyiv to do the delivery, but as the city of Adiivka became overrun by Russian forces, Kevin was not able to leave the line, so we went to him.

Due to his proximity to the zero line we had to do a tactical delivery which required us to get in and out as quickly as possible. Our van was covered by a camouflage net to conceal it from Russian drones while we quickly unloaded.

from Lviv it would be a 2 day drive to the front lines.

Our priority this trip was deliver 14 of our bags to Kevin, a US Navy Veteran serving as a medic with the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

After making our drop with Kevin we traveled to Vuhledar to visit one of the units we have been supporting to give them a new ballistic helmet and some tactical supplies.

Upon our return to the states Kevin sent us these thank you videos.
