Abbiamo 1.400 dollari degli 8.000 necessari per un NVG. Questo è per il comandante di una compagnia straniera che ha perso una gamba in Ucraina ma che ANCORA tornerà a guidare la sua squadra. Questo è un suo filmato di molto prima della guerra, dato che è in Ucraina ormai da 4 anni. Vedi i commenti su come aiutarlo a ottenere un NVG!

This is an update on the fundraiser posted here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1ri4i1y/we_have_a_very_special_nvg_request_few_people_can/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1ri4i1y/we_have_a_very_special_nvg_request_few_people_can/)

We have $1400 raised. Thank you to everyone who donated so far! We also have great news that we were able to get a better price on his NVG as we are purchasing a used one from a foreign fighter headed home so therefore the NVG is $8000 total. (Please note that we checked and this is NOT someone selling donated equipment; another foreign fighter purchased a set of dual tubes himself).

This is a pretty exceptional case. This is a foreign fighter who has been in Ukraine 4 years. He has been injured 3 times in combat. One injury is very serious and he had to have his leg amputated below the knee. However he will still go back to fight.

He came to Ukraine with substantial military experience and has stayed the entire time. There are very, very few people left in leadership roles with this much experience who are still willing and able to lead assault teams. Therefore we are willing to help him get a very good NVG to give him the best chances of success, especially as he will have a prosthetic.

This soldier and his team are also matched up directly with donors. If you would like to support him and or anyone else I cannot recommend this option enough. Sign up on the site as a supplies donor and we will connect you directly with a soldier in Ukraine. This is a great way to know who you are helping and learn more about what it’s like to do what they do. Soldiers also constantly tell us that it’s great to have a group of people to talk to when they need it and know you have some people rooting for you.
