Holding the Lines of Love and Hope
A Christmas campaign
When we talk about holding the lines, we think of trenches, foxholes, and the harsh reality of war. But in Ukraine today there are other lines to hold that matter just as much—lines of love, hope and human connection. These bonds keep our defenders strong. They remind them that they are not alone.
The men and women holding the frontline positions are not just soldiers. They are sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, friends and neighbors. They are farmers, carpenters, nurses, lawyers—ordinary people who once lived ordinary lives. Today, they spend Christmas far from home, in freezing conditions, under constant threat. Yet even in the darkest times, life should go on. Even in war, we must allow our heroes to be a human amongst humans.
With our deliveries of connecting Starlinks, Generators, Powerstations and Laptops, UAO enables communication between units, but also to their loved ones.
Imagine sitting in a foxhole, miles from home, and suddenly a ground drone arrives with a small but cherished Christmas gift—a piece of chocolate, some fresh fruit. Imagine the joy of hearing your newborn’s first words because a destroyed Starlink was replaced. Imagine asking your girlfriend to marry you, even from the front, because you could finally reconnect.
This is what our campaign is about: strengthening the lines that matter most—the bonds between those at the front and those who have their backs. We aim to supply two critical items: Starlinks and ground drones. Starlinks restore communication, allowing troops to reach loved ones, share moments, and feel human again. Ground drones deliver essentials and small comforts to positions that are otherwise impossible to reach.
Christmas at the front is a hard, cynical time. But together, we can make it more bearable for those defending freedom. We can remind them that they are not forgotten. That the world still cares. That love and hope can reach even the most forward positions.
Join us in this Christmas campaign. Help hold the lines that truly matter. Donate today and bring connection, comfort, and humanity to the heroes who protect us all.
