Ci sono ancora americani che combattono per l’Ucraina! Questo è uno che protegge un volontario è volato in Ucraina un anno fa. È ancora lì e ha combattuto tutto l’anno tranne un mese in ospedale. Abbiamo molti più volontari stranieri che hanno bisogno di voli e l’Ucraina ha bisogno del loro aiuto! Guarda i commenti per aiutare!

We recently got an update from a volunteer that we helped fly to Ukraine a year ago. He’s an American in the International Legion. Thanks to a donor with airline miles, he got a flight to Ukraine and he has been there ever since. He spent a month in the hospital recovering from injury but now he is back in action.

We have MANY volunteers in need of flights and the need is greater than ever. There are a lot of reasons for this:

1. Foreign teams have taken heavy casualties in the past year. Many people need to return home after injury.

2. Huge numbers of volunteers are coming from Latin America. They are generally military veterans from Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, etc. Their salaries are low and their flights are expensive. They cannot get to Ukraine without assistance.

3. Many volunteers have been in Ukraine for 1+ years and would really like to visit home to see friends and family or take some much needed relaxation time. If they are coming from far away the flight ticket might be more than they can afford.

Here is how you can help.

1. Do you have airline miles or hotel points? Sign up to use these to help a volunteer at protectavolunteer.com. We have a volunteer who is amazing at booking rewards tickets and he will help you make a booking when needed.

2. You can donate any amount of money to the “Flight Fund” on the paypal menu at [protectavolunteer.com](http://protectavolunteer.com); we use this fund to purchase airline tickets for when airline miles cannot cover a flight. It is very common that flights to and from South America cannot be covered by miles and this is the group that relies on us the most for flights. Any amount helps!

Just curious why so many volunteers from South America ? It seems like a unlikely place.

I’m going to put some money in Slava Ukraina
