2 giorni fa ho postato una situazione di emergenza per i volontari colombiani feriti che non avevano né riscaldamento né elettricità. Grazie ai donatori siamo riusciti a migliorare la situazione in 24 ore. Abbiamo MOLTI più soldati che chiedono aiuto per affrontare il freddo; si prega di consultare i commenti per sapere come aiutare.

2 days ago I made [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1qelqhg/comment/nzyapk3/) giving an update on cold weather supplies for soldiers in Zaporizhia and also making a request to help an emergency situation. A group of Colombian soldiers are recovering from injury. They have been placed in a housing situation that was dangerous for anyone but especially for injured people who have never been through winter before. They were in a house without any kind of power or heat.

Within 24 hours we were able to drastically improve their situation. We purchased a generator and propane stoves and heaters. They now have a way to cook and heat (a volunteer who speaks Spanish also gave safety instructions on how to safely operate everything and where to place everything/give ventilation. We are aware there are risks to these kinds of heat and power sources but don’t have many options). They also received meat, rice, and vegetables to cook. We have another volunteer visiting today to see what more can be done.

We were able to help thanks to the generosity of donors and also the speed at which some volunteers were willing to purchase supplies and deliver quickly. We have MANY more urgent requests to address the cold weather. Donations here help:

This is used to cover cold weather gear, food, and appliances or basic equipment to adapt to the energy situation in Ukraine. Everything is 501c3 compliant and humanitarian aid. A number of people receiving help are already injured. Ukraine is facing a historic winter and also has faced attacks on its energy grid. Keeping everyone, including soldiers, warm, fed, and healthy is a challenge.
