While we are finishing the website and opening accounts, let’s tell a bit about ourselves. The Armed Kit Charity Foundation is a team that throughout 2022 has been helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine with equipment, medical supplies, vehicles, etc. Each of us has relatives or friends who ended up in the war, we wanted to help them, and we started to succeed.
Our driving force and leader is Oleksandr Dubok (@Sasha Kot). It’s Oleksandr who is in touch with the military, receives requests, and is responsible for the distribution and final delivery of necessities, even if it’s hot spots.
Who are we helping?
Today we take care of several units. Those with whom we are in regular contact:
- Air Defense Command Post Chernihiv
- 119th Territorial Defence
- 4349 M/U
- 4118 M/U
- 2193M/U
- 30th Brigade
- 5th separate battalion of 7089 M/U
- Separate tactical group of air reconnaissance S.A.R.G. Madjar’s Birds
- 81st Brigade
All units rotate, so geographically we have already helped in Lysychansk, Kherson, Bakhmut, and in the north of the country.
We operate according to the scheme: received a request -> we are looking for funds and goods -> purchase -> deliver.
What are we buying? So far, these have mainly been thermal imagers, drones, sights; medicine, also fighter equipment (plate carriers, helmets, RPCs, etc.), clothing (outerwear, thermal underwear, sleeping bags) and shoes. Plus situational needs like boilers or gas masks. In addition, we managed to raise money and buy 7 cars for military needs.
More to come. Let’s unite, together we are strength!
