ABOUT
I'm Petra from the Netherlands, and I started providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine back in March 2022. Soon after, I began supporting the AFU by donating to fundraisers and sending supplies from the Netherlands to Ukraine. We're talking about stuff like sleeping bags, tourniquets, and thermal clothing.
PROTECTION AGAINST THE COLD
In November 2024, Alex Bond and I managed to secure and deliver 400 military sleeping bags to Ukraine. Now, many defenders along the front line don't have to suffer through cold nights anymore.
Currently, there aren't any large batches of sleeping bags available, so to keep the defenders warm, we are launching a campaign for chemical warmers. Units often buy smaller quantities of these warmers, which isn't cost-effective, and each unit has to run its own fundraiser. So Alex and I team up again to protect the defenders against the cold.
CHEMICAL WARMERS
With this fundraiser, we want to finance 4500 pcs of chemical warmers to start with. A mix of hand warmers, foot warmers and body warmers. Once you take chemical warmers out of their packaging, they come into contact with air and automatically start warming up. They stay warm for up to 10 hours.
The chemical warmers will be bought in Ukraine and shipped to a warehouse in western Ukraine, saving on transport costs. Plus, we get a bulk discount on 4500 pcs, so we can buy more warmers for less money.
NEEDED BUDGET
We need € 2900 for 4500 pcs in total:
1500 hand warmers
1500 foot warmers
1500 body warmers
Including local shipping costs.
Thanks to the volume discount, this is a very competitive price.
SUPPLY & STOCK
Units can request chemical warmers through Alex Bond, for free. If we need to restock, we will increase the target and ask for additional funds.
