We are still working tirelessly to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. <a href="https://daocharity.io/en/news/defenders-of-the-estuary-received-a-pickup-truck-from-dao-charity">Delivering </a>an SUV to the Lyman defenders, we covered hundreds of kilometres of the frontline to continue our support.

DAO Charity also delivered more than $2,000 worth of equipment to engineering and sapper troops. Specifically, a Starlink terminal, probes, 200m of paracord, gloves, nippers, folding shovels, and other requested pieces.

We saw Kharkiv, Chuguiv, Izyum, Slovyansk, and Kramatorsk with our own eyes and understood the true horrors brought by the Russian invasion. The confidence and professionalism of the Armed Forces, however, kept us inspired that we are on the path to victory.&nbsp;

DAO Charity is now collecting donations to buy ten pickups for the army. The cost is a whopping $100,000, but we can handle it, right? <a href="https://daocharity.io/en/projects/armored-pickup-trucks">Join </a>the fight and together we will help the Armed Forces stop the occupiers!

DAO Charity delivered Starlink to our defenders

Armored Pickup Truck

DAO Charity recently <a href="https://daocharity.io/en/news/defenders-of-the-estuary-received-a-pickup-truck-from-dao-charity">delivered </a>a car to the frontline soldiers of the 81st brigade of amphibious assault troops.&nbsp;This is the famous brigade that raised the Ukrainian flag over the liberated Lyman.

Talking with various units of the Armed Forces, we understood their urgent and ongoing need for SUVs. They help soldiers remain mobile, carry out combat missions, and evacuate the wounded. Most importantly, they save the lives of heroes on the battlefield and this is our greatest priority. That is why DAO Charity is launching a collection of $100,000 for ten pickups for the Armed Forces.

<h1>Why every car costs $10,000</h1>

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">We buy pickup trucks in the UK, where we get the best value. Tracking down, buying, and transporting these costs around $6,000.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">After testing the car, we replace all fluids, replenish consumables, strengthen the suspension for reliability, and install high-quality off-road rubber. That&#39;s about $4,000.</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">When there is a special request from the unit, we install additional sheets of armour. This is another $1,000-2,000.</li>
</ul>

And you can help! Each contribution is important. This war has proven that even small donations can create huge collections.&nbsp;

<h1>To thank our donors, we&rsquo;ve created a few little treats:&nbsp;</h1>

Anyone who donates $100+ can send wishes to the military or leave their social media nickname on the car. Just send us the code of your transaction on Instagram and let us know what you&rsquo;d like us to do.&nbsp;

Donating $5000 or more? We will send you a flag autographed by the soldiers of the unit that will drive the car. We will put your logo or nickname on the door or fender and send you pics of the car on the frontline. We will also whitelist you for the mint of the first NFT collection.

Ready to make a real difference? Donations of more than $10,000 will get you an unforgettable shoutout. You&rsquo;ll get the flag, logo placement, photos, NFT collection whitelisting, AND the opportunity to choose the car and participate in a pickup race from the UK to Ukraine! We&rsquo;ll also send you a souvenir from the battlefield.

If you are ready to make a large-scale donation, DM us and learn more.&nbsp;

Become a part of Ukraine&#39;s victory! Let&rsquo;s end the evil that is hanging over the whole world. <a href="https://daocharity.io/en/projects/armored-pickup-trucks">Donate </a>and make the world a better palace.

We are collecting $100,000 for 10 pickups for the Armed Forces

The video of the flag raising over Lyman, Donetsk went viral all over the world. From a strategic point of view, this area is important for our fighters. The Russian invaders once again felt the fury of the Ukrainian army and carried out the traditional &quot;negative offensive.&quot;

Inspired by the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we searched for the unit that raised the blue and yellow flag over the city and found the 81st brigade of airborne assault troops. It turned out that our heroes desperately needed a pickup truck, so DAO Charity quickly went to work.&nbsp;

In just a few days, this truck was driven 2,500 km from Great Britain to our headquarters. On arrival, we fixed the suspension, painted the car, and repaired the engine. Everything was done efficiently and quickly, and the car was literally in and out within three days. The total cost was about $9,000.

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/10/25/pickup_DAO_Charity_1.jpeg" style="height:400px; width:300px" />

From there, we travel across 1,300 km of roads through Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, and Izyum. We saw destroyed cities and infrastructure, mined roads, and dozens of units of destroyed equipment. After seeing everything with your own eyes, you understand that the Ukrainian people are invincible, and our military are true heroes.&nbsp;

We were met with a warm welcome and left knowing that the vehicle will help to perform troops work more effectively --- as we saw with the footage of our &quot;Dragon&quot; near the trophy BMP!&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/10/25/pickup_DAO_Charity_3.jpg" style="height:288px; width:400px" />

Off-road vehicles are indispensable frontline transport. That is why DAO Charity has started a crypto collection for ten pickups for the Armed Forces. Of course, the cost of buying and transporting vehicles isn&rsquo;t small. We&rsquo;re talking $100,000.

But our people have proven more than once that nothing is impossible for Ukraine, right?&nbsp;

Defenders of the Estuary received a pickup truck from DAO Charity

Today is 14 October, a day of great importance in Ukraine. We have a lot to celebrate during these important 24 hours. Officially, it is the Day of the Creation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. We commemorate the Day of the Ukrainian Cossacks. We honour the Intercession of the Theotokos (the Protection of Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos and Virgin Mary). It&rsquo;s many holidays at once but, most importantly, it is the Day of Defenders of Ukraine.

Throughout history, Ukrainians have fought for independence. Now we face our greatest challenge. Every day, our brave soldiers push the invading forces back to their border. They liberate Ukrainian villages and cities. They save the lives of Ukrainians and defend European borders.&nbsp;

Alongside our soldiers, thousands of volunteers work around the clock to support the army every step of the way. Millions of people around the world are raising funds to support our heroes.

We are infinitely grateful to every defender for protecting our peaceful life. We feel the pain of the countless families who have lost loved ones in the battles for our freedom and independence. But, heroes never truly die!

At the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, we created DAO Charity to help the military on the front lines and support the families suffering. Unity is our strength, and that is why we have united to bring victory closer together.&nbsp;

We know beyond a doubt that victory is coming, and that is why we are dedicated to supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine with essential equipment at every stage.&nbsp;

Now is the time to join us! The victory of Ukraine is within our reach and we need to keep working to send our defenders home safely.&nbsp;

Happy Defenders of Ukraine Day to all of you who joined our international Ukrainian family!

Happy Defenders of Ukraine Day!

A meeting of the National Security and Defense Council was held today. During this momentous event, Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed Ukraine&#39;s application to join NATO under the accelerated procedure. The President noted the fact that Ukraine has already proven compatibility with Alliance standards, particularly on the battlefield.

Volodymyr Zelensky said:

<blockquote>
First of all, the only path to strengthening Ukraine is expelling the occupiers from our entire territory in order to restore peace. This is our mission.

Secondly, Ukraine was and remains a leader in negotiation efforts. It was our state that always offered Russia to agree to coexistence on equal, honest, dignified and fair terms. It is obvious that this is impossible with this Russian president. He does not know what dignity and honesty are. We remain ready for a dialogue with Russia, but with a different president leading Russia.

And thirdly, we must legally record all that we have already achieved in fact. It is in Ukraine that the fate of democracy is decided in the confrontation with tyranny.
</blockquote>

A press conference by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is scheduled for the evening, at which we will hear about the Alliance&#39;s preliminary decision regarding Ukraine&#39;s application.

For more than half a year, our soldiers have heroically defended the country from the Russian invaders. DAO Charity provides comprehensive support to the Armed Forces. We&nbsp; have donated drones, quadcopters, beads, sights and other essential equipment to the army. And you can join us! Donate to DAO Charity and play your role in the victory of Ukraine.

Ukraine Submitted an Application to Join NATO

After the springtime liberation from the Russian invaders, the village of Moshun in the Kyiv region was left with 85% of its homes destroyed and many beyond repair. This is how we found the village on our first trip there.&nbsp;

Today, local residents are still unable to recover from the horrors of the war. But it is impossible to break Ukrainians! People are determined to stay and rebuild their lives and homes.&nbsp;

While their children have already started the school year, the schoolhouse remains completely destroyed. That&rsquo;s why DAO Charity has partnered with Sunrise Foundation to visit Moshun and help little Ukrainians. We gave the kids 25 tablets (worth $3,000) to help them study remotely.&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/27/Tablets_1.jpg" style="height:400px; width:300px" />

The people of this village really inspired us. Despite all the difficulties, children still want to learn. So, let&rsquo;s keep helping them!&nbsp;

Schoolchildren from Moshun still need another 25 more tablets. Let&rsquo;s help them together. Make a donation to DAO Charity and give children the opportunity to get an education. Can&#39;t help financially? Tell your friends about us &mdash; together we can save Moshun and beyond.

&nbsp;

25 Tablets Delivered to Children in Moshun Village

One of our most exciting projects is an NFT collection displaying key pieces of modern Ukrainian history. Our goal is to create a collection that reminds the world that, despite this war, Ukraine will continue to thrive and grow.&nbsp;

We recently had the opportunity to get one of the key pieces we&rsquo;d been wanting for the collection: gloves from our champion Alexander Usyk. On the eve of the fight with Anthony Joshua, the boxer had autographed these gloves for a charity auction. DAO Charity hunted for a lot on Instagram for days without sleep and rest and finally bought them for $11,650.

We collected the gloves, talked with Egor Golub, the head coach of Denis Berinchik, and gave the children&#39;s drawings we collected as a gift. Inspired by this incredible day, we returned to work on the countless projects we have up our sleeves.&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/27/drawings.jpg" style="height:400px; width:300px" />

Soon the world will see our NFT collections! Stay tuned to be the first to buy these unique pieces. All proceeds will go directly to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Rare Pieces of Modern Ukrainian History for the NFT Collection

As we continue to work on our fundraising NFT collection, we&rsquo;re always on the hunt for unique and interesting pieces of modern Ukrainian history. DAO Charity will use the proceeds from the sales of these NFTs to support the people of Ukraine as well as the Armed Forces.&nbsp;

Our latest addition to the collection is a Ukrainian <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2WdoFqodq/">flag</a> signed by the biggest electronic music superstars. Thanks to an auction by Ukrainian DJ Moon Shot together with Kiss FM Ukraine, we were able to buy the flag for 64,500 UAH which goes to support the &quot;Come Back Alive&quot; Foundation.

At the Ultra Europe Festival, Moon Shot played a set and then collected autographs from Martin Garrix, Armin Van Buren, Steve Eyoki, Ti&euml;sto and other stars. Even the mysterious Marshmello, who almost never signs anything, left his autograph. All the DJs expressed their support for the Ukrainian people and their faith in our victory.

Stay tuned to DAO Charity! We&rsquo;ll be announcing the debut of our collection soon. And, as always, donate and let&rsquo;s work together for a safe, free Ukraine!

DAO Charity Acquires One-of-a-Kind Ukrainian Flag

Seven-year-old Ilya from Mariupol loves football, space, and dinosaurs. He idolises the Armed Forces of Ukraine and dreams of moving to Slavyansk, the town where his new family lives.&nbsp;

Over the spring, Maria Bezpalaya and her husband took custody of this orphan boy. To speed up his move to the formerly occupied Sloviansk, Ilya decided to sell his ball with the autograph of Andrei Shevchenko and send the profits to the military protecting the east of Ukraine.&nbsp;

DAO Charity supported the initiative of the boy and took part in the auction. We purchased the autographed ball for UAH 31,000. We will add this ball to our collection of pieces of modern Ukrainian history and the cash from the sale will go to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.&nbsp;&nbsp;

We are all so proud of Ilya and his incredible contribution to the future victory of Ukraine. We are looking forward to meeting the little hero!&nbsp;

Hundreds of thousands of children dream of returning home or building a new one. Support DAO Charity and we can make their dreams come true together.&nbsp;

We Supported a Little Hero While Building Our NFT Collection

Equipment for Sniper Team

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are true professionals. These fighters perform complex combat tasks and every single day, one step at a time, they liberate Ukraine. At DAO Charity, our goal is to make their jobs easier and safer.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

That&rsquo;s why we recently delivered $23,100 worth of equipment to the soldiers of the 199th training centre of the airborne assault troops. This included four sets of equipment for sniper pairs, each with Swarovski STR 80 MOA tubes, Swarovski eyepieces, tripods, and tripod heads. 

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/21/Equipment_for_sniper_pairs.jpg" style="height:400px; width:300px" />

This crucial equipment delivery will help our soldiers defend Ukraine more safely and effectively. But they still need more help to win this war! Make a donation to DAO Charity today to help. Each and every contribution goes directly to our fighters and brings our victory one step closer.

DAO Charity Helping Snipers

Thermal imager

Almost daily, DAO Charity receives requests from military personnel with a request to purchase thermal imagers &mdash; in modern warfare, this is a very important equipment for performing combat missions at night.

We purchased and transferred 3 Inf iRay Eye Plus V2.0 thermal imagers with a total cost of $6,000. They were received by the fighters of the 132nd separate reconnaissance battalion.&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/21/Thermal_imaging_monoculars_1.jpg" style="height:401px; width:300px" />

We provide competent assistance to the army, because military personnel with combat experience work with us. They know exactly what equipment is needed on the front line. And your donations bring Ukraine&#39;s victory closer. We will not give the occupiers any peace &mdash; we will turn their night into a hellish one! Do you want to be a part of a big victory? Make a contribution to the DAO Charity.

DAO Charity Delivery of Military Thermal Imagers

Satellite phone

The tablet

As the Russian invasion drags on, DAO Charity continues to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine in every way possible. Our most recent delivery went to the fighters of the 46th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade. They are now using ten Realme Pad RMP2103 tablets and ten Thuraya XT Lite satellite phones. This vital equipment was purchased with $18,000 of your generous donations.&nbsp;

These satellite phones are crucial communication tools that can&rsquo;t be jammed by electronic warfare systems, and allow our military to transmit vital information while navigating the battlefield.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the tablets allow soldiers to calculate and transmit the coordinates of invading forces. This is particularly crucial for gunners who depend on detailed accuracy to successfully target while reducing collateral damage.&nbsp;

Thanks to everyone for your donations! Your help is saving lives across Ukraine. And we need your ongoing support now more than ever. Donate today to DAO Charity to bring this war to end.

Our Delivery of $18k in Military Essentials

Navigator

In order to always stay a few steps ahead of the Russian invaders, the Ukrainian military needs to be quick and highly mobile. They&rsquo;ve got to move safely and strategically.&nbsp;

That&rsquo;s why DAO Charity spent $18,000 buying 41 Garmin navigators for our Ukrainian defenders. Their mapping unit has already put these powerful tools to work.&nbsp;

Garmin navigators help soldiers navigate terrain, plot accurate routes, and determine the altitude above sea level. These particular models are particularly useful thanks to their travel-friendly cases and powerful batteries. With a built-in battery offering 16 hours of offline use and add-on batteries with up to a week of use, these water-resistant navigators allow the military to work in the demanding conditions of the battlefield.

We need your support for a free and peaceful Ukraine! We truly can&rsquo;t do this alone. Donate today and help bring our brave soldiers home to their families.

41 Navigators for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Before the last fight with Anthony Joshua, champion Alexander Usyk signed his boxing gloves and gave them to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChfMZRVgQ_F/" style="text-decoration:none">AuRuM TV</a> for a charity auction. DAO Charity knew that the gloves would be a huge fundraising success so they came prepared.&nbsp;

After three sleepless days of watching the auction, the words flashed on the screen: &quot;The auction is over!&quot; For $11,650, we&rsquo;d bought the gloves.&nbsp;

&laquo;Wow, isn&#39;t that too much for gloves? You&#39;re a charity, right?&raquo;

Don&rsquo;t worry! The funds were donated to POPARAM, GONOR, and USYK FOUNDATION for $3,833 each (see <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpfOYnqRLc/" style="text-decoration:none">here</a>). And, most importantly for us, these gloves are going to be part of our fundraising NFT campaign.&nbsp;

Thanks to your donations, we not only directly support our soldiers and war-affected families, but also help other charitable organizations. Join us today! Each contribution brings the victory of Ukraine closer.

Alexander Usyk Gloves and $11,650 in Aid

Plate carrier

Tactical backpacks

We all share one goal: to bring our soldiers home safely! To help the families of Ukraine unite with their loved ones sooner, we are working to raise funds for lifesaving equipment.&nbsp;

We just delivered $2000 in plate carriers, pouches, boots, and raincoats to an AFU special task unit.&nbsp;

Let&rsquo;s win this war! To do it, we just need to make sure our soldiers are equipped. Send your donation today to help the tireless Ukrainian military keep fighting for freedom.&nbsp;

Donations to Ukraine Military Boosting Their Capacity

We work tirelessly to meet the needs of the soldiers of Ukraine. That&rsquo;s why when DAO Charity received an official request from the electronic intelligence group, we got straight to work.&nbsp;

Of course, because of the nature of their work, we can&rsquo;t disclose the exact model information of what we bought, but it was a $1 1,800 purchase in total.&nbsp;

Thanks to the DAO Charity volunteers with military backgrounds, we can work effectively with the Armed Forces of Ukraine to support them every step of the way.&nbsp;

Want to join our troops on the path to a free, independent Ukraine? Donate to our military equipment funds to create a brighter future for all of us.&nbsp;

Helping the Ukrainian Army Intelligence Forces

Radio Station

Communication is the foundation for everything on the frontline. High-quality, modern tools help soldiers quickly respond to commands and changes on the battlefield. This is truly a matter of life or death.&nbsp;

That&rsquo;s why DAO Charity spent $55,400 on 44 Motorola radio stations and two additional batteries for the Ukrainian military. We opted for DP4800E, DP4801E, and DP4400 as these are compatible with the models already in use.&nbsp;

Using an ultrashort wave range, these modern digital communication tools make it hard for the Russian forces to drown out the lifesaving military communications that are fundamental to operations.&nbsp;

Helping the Ukrainian army is easy! Donate on our website, and we will turn your contributions into crucial equipment for the military.

$55,000 in Military Communications Assistance

From the first days of the Russian invasion, we immediately went to work supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine and displaced families.&nbsp;

As we mark three months of work, let&#39;s look at DAO Charity by the numbers: $820,000 in donations with $183,000 given as aid to affected families and $642,000 spent on equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including a ForceTriad electrosurgical system donated to a military hospital.&nbsp;

DAO Charity Marks Three Months of Supporting Ukraine

The Ukrainian military must be ready 24 hours a day. That&rsquo;s why we delivered them with seven Inf iRay Eye E3 Plus V2.0 thermal imaging monoculars. The AFU infantry Jaeger Brigade unit is already using these to protect the night skies of Ukraine.&nbsp;

It is only thanks to your $14k in donations that DAO Charity was able to provide our warriors with these lifesaving tools. As this war drags on, we need your support more than ever! Join us in building a safe, independent Ukraine.

Seven Thermal Imaging Monoculars Donated to the Ukrainian Military

Quadcopter

We never stop fighting for victory in Ukraine! To support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, DAO Charity bought a $1 1,700 Autel Evo Lite Premium quadcopter and delivered it to the engineering sapper platoon of an amphibious assault unit.&nbsp;

Every single day, DAO Charity works to support our fighters. Want to help? Let&rsquo;s create a peaceful, free Ukraine together!

Another Combat Drone Delivered to Frontline

Thanks to your donations, we delivered an $8,300 thermal imaging quadcopter to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This crucial device allows soldiers to spot invading armies even in total darkness. It also enables them to see long distances to protect wider areas from invasion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Modern warfare is impossible without drones and that&rsquo;s exactly why they&rsquo;re a constant target of the invaders. We must keep replacing them to keep up.&nbsp;

Now is not the time to give up! The more donations we collect, the better equipped the Ukrainian military is, and the sooner this war will end. Make your contribution to the DAO Charity. Whether it&rsquo;s a cash donation or simply sharing information about our mission, you&rsquo;re creating a brighter future for Ukraine.

Thermal Imaging Quadcopter Donated to Ukrainian Army

A practical backpack is one of the core necessities on the battlefield. It allows our brave warriors to forget about supplies and bad weather to focus exclusively on crucial combat tasks at hand.&nbsp;

The Armed Forces of Ukraine reached out to DAO Charity for a batch of tactical backpacks and we got straight to work! We spent a total of $6,500 on the delivery of 201 military-grade packs.&nbsp;

The situation at the frontline is extraordinarily tense at the moment so we are working to meet our soldiers&rsquo; needs as quickly as possible. Want to help? Send your donation today and put your name on the side of victory!

201 Backpack Donated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

We&rsquo;re proud to have delivered more than $3000 in generators, jacks, start-up and charging devices, screens, and tents to increase the mobility of Ukraine&rsquo;s air defence.&nbsp;

While we&rsquo;re getting used to raising funds for thermal imagers and drones to protect ourselves from missile strikes, we&rsquo;ve also got to get that essential equipment that helps with crucial maintenance. Under harsh battlefield conditions, drones need regular repair and we&rsquo;ve got to be ready to troubleshoot.&nbsp;

Your donations save the lives of Ukrainians! Keep on supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

Help for the Ukrainian Military Who Are Creating Safe Skies

Minibus

DAO Charity continues to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fight for freedom. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;ve bought four minibuses and delivered them to the frontline. In total, we spent $32,000 on the vehicles now in use by the airborne assault forces.

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/01/bus-1.jpg" style="height:400px; width:300px" />

Our defenders must stay mobile and transport equipment across the frontline &mdash; but we&rsquo;re not done yet! We&rsquo;re processing requests from the military daily and we need your help. Join us in ending this war right here, right now!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

4 Minibuses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Headset

Our first delivery of $13,000 worth of active headphones was delivered to the frontline. These crucial pieces of equipment drown out the sounds of artillery shots and explosions while still allowing soldiers to hear everything that is happening around them. Active headphones are a must-have for gunners, grenade throwers, machine gunners, and scouts.&nbsp;

DAO Charity is working daily to provide fighters with high-quality equipment. To do this, we need your support! Donate for the future of a safe and secure Europe. Together we are an unstoppable force! 

&nbsp;

Donating Military Supplies to Ukraine: Active Headphones

Laptop Mapping Station

Generator

Our goal is to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the best equipment possible, both on the frontline and behind the scenes.&nbsp;

We recently delivered a $600 generator, a 450 Garmin Navigator, and a $3,400 heavy-duty laptop for military mapping.&nbsp;

This laptop is a particularly in-demand model for the military because it can operate as a working graphics station, processing satellite maps and operating at a wide resolution. It quickly processes a large number of files, puts together a set number of cards, and creates files from 1 to 12 GB. Standard systems lack the RAM to quickly process crucial info and provide constantly updated information to the frontline.&nbsp;

Every day that you support the Ukrainian military, you bring us closer to victory! Join us for a free, peaceful Europe.

DAO Charity Continues to Help Ukrainian Military

Thermal sight

Thanks to donations to the Ukrainian military, our soldiers can work day and night to identify and push out invading forces. From May to September, we raised more than $276,000 in funds for thermal imaging sights. We were able to buy 76 Rico RL-42 riflescopes and two Hikmicro TH-25s.&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/01/thermal_imaging_sights_3-min.jpg" style="height:450px; width:300px" />

Even in absolute darkness, these devices allow soldiers to detect invading armies by their body temperature alone. This keeps our troops safe and working effectively.&nbsp;

Want to help end the war in Ukraine? Join us in supplying our troops!

$276,000 in Supplies Donated to Armed Forces of Ukraine

Nearly every person in Ukraine knows about thermal imagers now. They help our soldiers work effectively at night. With thermal imagers, the military can spot invading soldiers by their body temperature even in the black of night.&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/09/01/monoculars_2-min.jpg" style="height:400px; width:300px" />

Soldiers of airborne assault forces units received $18,000 worth of thermal imaging monoculars from DAO Charity &mdash; but it&rsquo;s still not enough! The Armed Forces of Ukraine still need more monoculars to do their job effectively.&nbsp;

Donations to the Ukrainian military bring our victory closer. Join us to push Ukraine one step closer to peace!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thermal Imaging Monoculars — Eyes of the Warriors at Night

The latest batch of equipment from DAO Charity is already on the frontline! We spent $6,000 buying 100 tactical backpacks worth and $5,000 on plate carriers and other pieces. We delivered the goods to units in the airborne assault forces working in the east and south of Ukraine.&nbsp;

Tactical backpacks are one of the key essentials on the battlefield. They ensure that soldiers have the necessary equipment and ammunition at hand so they can focus on the job at hand. The rough conditions of military operations and harsh weather conditions mean that backpacks wear out quickly. That&rsquo;s why our mission is to keep delivery a steady supply.&nbsp;

A plitonoska is a lightweight version of a bulletproof vest. It protects a soldier&#39;s sternum and back while allowing them to stay mobile and fast.&nbsp;

We will keep on working to equip our fighters with vital supplies. DAO Charity volunteers are experts in military affairs who focus on the quality of goods, not on their quantity. We make sure that money is spent on smart equipment that lasts as long as possible.&nbsp;

Let&rsquo;s keep working to make sure that the Defenders of Ukraine get the best equipment! Donate today to save lives.

Equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Metal detector

We are actively working to support freedom fighters in dangerous hot spots across Ukraine. We recently received a request from our fighters for mine detectors and we made this a top priority.&nbsp;

With these new mine detectors tools, our soldiers are able to clear areas before troops launch counter-offensives.

Thank you to everyone who has donated! But the war continues, and we need your support every day. Donate to DAO Charity and become part of the victory of Ukraine!

30 Mine Detectors to Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Sniper rifle bipod

Sniper scope

Accuracy is everything for snipers. The better a shooter&rsquo;s equipment, the more safely and efficiently they can work.&nbsp;

DAO Charity continues to support the freedom warriors of Ukraine. We recently delivered a batch of sniper sights and bipods for rifles worth more than $21,000 to the soldiers on the frontline.

While high-quality sights cost more than the weapon itself, they&rsquo;re crucial to accurate shooting. Meanwhile, bipods are used as stable support, which increases accuracy and efficiency.&nbsp;

Donations go directly to supporting the work of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and protecting families. Join DAO Charity in supporting the defenders of Ukraine together!

&nbsp;

Donating to Frontline Troops in Ukraine

To support Ukraine, it&rsquo;s essential to make it easy for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to travel. DAO Charity is in constant contact with the military and they&rsquo;ve said that transportation is one of their biggest struggles.&nbsp;

For our latest donation to the Ukrainian military, we delivered three mini buses, a Volkswagen, Renault and Opel. These discrete vehicles keep the troops mobile and allow them to easily transport people as well as equipment.&nbsp;

Transport is a need that is constantly growing and we&rsquo;re flooded with requests from the military so we&rsquo;ll keep working to equip our defenders.&nbsp;

Thanks to your donation to Ukraine, our brave men and women can work quickly and effectively. Keep following DAO Charity to bring us closer to a free, peaceful Ukraine!

Donation to Armed Forces of Ukraine: 3 Mini Buses Delivered

The world thought we would lose this war in a matter of days. The most optimistic forecasts said we might last for a few weeks. Six months have passed now and we are standing on our own land. Free, strong, independent.

Our brave soldiers defend the country 24/7, liberating towns and villages from occupation every single day. Volunteers are risking their lives to deliver essential equipment to the front line and help the victims of the war. While it&rsquo;s a daily battle, we all strive to find the strength to enjoy life. We believe that a smile can help you overcome anything.&nbsp;

Ukrainians have united for the sake of victory, and the whole world has united around us. DAO Charity is grateful to everyone who makes a contribution. Thanks to you, we can help those who are truly depending on the world right now. So, let&rsquo;s keep bringing victory closer! Join us today.&nbsp;

Our victory is coming soon.&nbsp;

Happy Independence Day!

&nbsp;

Happy Independence Day!

Who stopped tanks with their hands? Who jumped on an armoured Russian vehicle and handed the soldiers inside flower seeds to plant?&nbsp;

The Ukrainians, of course! And the world has fallen in love with us for our courage. Our yellow and blue flags now fly in every corner of the world as a symbol of freedom and courage.

The history of the flag of Ukraine stretches back hundreds of years. While times have changed, one thing has stayed the same: there&rsquo;s always someone trying to destroy our blue and yellow, and the people who stand beside it. But, each and every time, they fail. They step into our home and self-destruct.&nbsp;

Want to learn a bit of history about this flag you&rsquo;ve been seeing everywhere?

Lviv is the capital of trends

It was here in 1256 that we first saw these magical colours together. Lviv had a yellow lion on a blue background as their city coat of arms. In 1848, the flag of the Russian parliament became blue and yellow.&nbsp;

Hanging a Ukrainian flag used to be a crime

Back in Soviet times, anyone with a Ukrainian flag at home was sentenced to two years in prison.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Third times a charm

Ukraine has declared statehood three times under the same flag in 1917, 1941 and 1990.

242 days

That&rsquo;s how long our tireless soldiers fought under the Ukrainian flag to protect the Donetsk airport. Since then, they have become true national heroes that we call &ldquo;cyborgs&rdquo; in honour of their superhuman abilities. Our flag will soon fly again over Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Simferopol and all other Ukrainian cities.&nbsp;

Want to help us raise the flag over every city in Ukraine? Protect our brave defenders by donating to DAO Charity.&nbsp;

The Ukrainian flag is a symbol of courage

Collimator sight

As the war rages on, DAO Charity continues to support the defenders of Ukraine on the frontline. In June, we received several requests for optics, navigation, and surveillance equipment, so we started searching for suppliers.&nbsp;

We had the equipment delivered from abroad and then went directly to the battlefield.&nbsp;

From DAO Charity, the soldiers of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade received:

<ul>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">10 Aimpoint Micro collimator sight worth $6,000</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">3 Autel Evo Lite+ Premium quadcopters worth $5,000</li>
	<li style="list-style-type:disc">10 Garmin 66s/66sr/65 navigators worth $3,000</li>
</ul>

In combat situations, it is nearly impossible to eat properly. To help our soldiers stay in shape and get charged up for victory, we brought along nutrient-dense drinks and bars. These are great for keeping our warriors combat-ready.&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.daocharity.io/media/photo/2022/08/19/photo7.jpg" style="height:399px; width:300px" />

We&rsquo;re proud to say that the equipment is already in use on the battlefield. Quadcopters are helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine conduct reconnaissance, while navigators are helping them through the rough terrain. Meanwhile, the sights are pinpointing invading forces and eliminating collateral damage.&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s crucial that our brave fighters have professional equipment. Without this, it&rsquo;s impossible to defend Ukraine safely and effectively. Save a life today and equip the Armed Forces of Ukraine with DAO Charity. 

&nbsp;

Ukraine's military receives sights, quadcopters, and navigators

We replaced the air raid sirens with live music. Instead of last night&rsquo;s leftover soup, it was ice cream and cotton candy. On 23 July, we gave families a brief escape from their difficult everyday lives.&nbsp;

Here at DAO Charity, we are about more than just equipping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We also work to equip the children of Ukraine with everything that they need to create a brighter future for our country. And that all begins with a happy childhood.&nbsp;

<h2>Children&rsquo;s Day in Bucha</h2>

We declared the 23rd of July &ldquo;Children&rsquo;s Day&rdquo; in Bucha, Kyiv. We pulled out all the stops to make it an unforgettable day for the youngest Ukrainians. From prizes to performers, we did everything to remind our kids that being a child in Ukraine is still a beautiful experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;

We set up a Creative Quest for our little guests. They had five different zones to explore a full range of different art activities. One of our popular stations was the drawing area. We asked kids to put down on paper what they couldn&rsquo;t put into words: their experiences during the war.&nbsp;

After seeing their inspiring work, we started collecting their drawings to develop our first NFT collection: &quot;I see war this way.&rdquo; This fundraising initiative will feature 1000 drawings that&rsquo;ll help you see the war through the eyes of a child. 600 of these pieces have come from this one magical day in Bucha.&nbsp;

<h2>All-Star Entertainment&nbsp;</h2>

We were honoured to have celebrities from across Ukraine join us. Anna Koshmal, Taras Tsymbalyuk, Mila Kuznetsova, Galina Poludnevich, and others made it an unforgettable day for the whole family.&nbsp;

D-side Band and Max Gordeev, along with singers Diana Gloucester, Yatsuta, and Amador Lopez were a hit with parents and kids alike.&nbsp;

We also had special help from our partners Kiwi Party event agency. They helped arrange an incredible animated show and a splash zone.

Entertainers Flock to Bucha for a Kids Day Out

DAO Charity is about more than just helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In fact, one of our key objectives is to help the children of Ukraine. As this war drags on, we must give our kids their childhood back. They are growing up too fast and need joy back in their lives. That is why we travelled to Zhytomyr to meet these kids who have been through so much.&nbsp;

On 22 July, DAO Charity hosted an event at the Reikartz Hotel for children facing especially difficult situations. We welcomed a group of kids with special needs and families who have lost their homes. We had a group of incredible entertainers and artists, and plenty of pizzas to go around.&nbsp;

We created a Creative Corner where kids could draw to express their feelings about the war. We are in the process of digitising the best works to create our first NFT fundraising collection called, &ldquo;The War Through the Eyes of a Child.&rdquo;

Most of the kids arrived on their own with their parents, but after singing, dancing, and laughing together, they ended the day with countless new friends. Our DAO Charity volunteers got the chance to meet so many great families under far better circumstances than we typically see. The parents were incredibly kind and grateful to us for creating a space where we could all forget about our worries for a few hours.&nbsp;

&ldquo;It was a crazy, beautiful day for us,&rdquo; said volunteer and content creator Victoria. &ldquo;Not only did the kids have a great day out, but it gave the adults a chance to connect with each other.&nbsp; After seeing those carefree smiles and getting the warm hugs of these kids, I am even more inspired to keep pushing toward our mission.&rdquo;

&nbsp;Of course, this special day happened only thanks to your donations. Let&rsquo;s keep going! Even the smallest donation creates these unforgettable moments that keep our kids sustained even through the darkest nights.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

And we are still looking for volunteers! No matter where you live or how much time or money you can offer, every effort counts. Send your crypto donation today or contact us to join our team.&nbsp;

Only together can we continue our march to victory.&nbsp;

1000 Children's Drawings Featured in First NFT Collection

Famous in Ukraine for her work in film and theatre, actress Anna Sagaidachnaya is the latest addition to the DAO Charity volunteer team. We were proud to have her join us on our recent visit to the village of Rusaniv in the Brovarsky district.&nbsp;

Located 50 km outside of Kyiv, the once-quaint village of Rusanov was on the warpath of the Russian invaders. On their way to take the Ukrainian capital, they did their best to destroy every home and life in their path.&nbsp;

Walking through the ruins of this village and talking to the locals, Anna was moved to tears. It had all turned to rubble in the endless parade of tanks and artillery. After the people here devoted their lives to their humble homes and the families that they&rsquo;d created, it was all gone in an instant. When the Russians arrived, they destroyed the power grid and burnt homes straight to the ground.

There have never been military or strategic facilities in Rusanov and the community was left truly defenceless. With their lives literally burning around them, the people here could only hide and watch in horror.&nbsp;

As we walked by a child&rsquo;s bike that had melted into nothing, neither the villagers nor the volunteers could hold back their tears. Everywhere we walked, we were on top of glass and shell casings. The Russians left nothing but destruction and death in their wake.&nbsp;

But we couldn&rsquo;t leave these poor families alone to face the devastation. Our mission is to bring hope back to the Ukrainian people. That&rsquo;s why we do what we do, and that&rsquo;s why Anna joined us.&nbsp;

After a long day of work, Anna had this to say:

&ldquo;It is devastating to see that, in literally one second, people can lose everything they have worked for their entire lives. The strength of the Ukrainian people is so profound and seeing their spirits rise above the destruction that surrounds them is inspiring.

They can destroy our homes but not our strength and fortitude. We are ready to rebuild our homes. Brick by brick, we will rebuild our country. It is truly amazing to see the incredible power that lives within this community.&nbsp;

When we work with charities, whether it&rsquo;s on the ground or through donations abroad, we are building the future. We are creating a future for our children and our country. And, it will be a bright future for us all,&rdquo; she said.&nbsp;

Let&#39;s bring life back to Ukrainian soil together and bring hope to those who have lost so much. When you donate to DAO Charity your funds go directly to families in need and the Ukrainian defence force.&nbsp;

No cash to give? Share your time! We are always looking for volunteers from around the world.&nbsp;

Give whatever you can, whether it&rsquo;s time or money, and save a life today.

Anna Sagaidachnaya’s Visit to Rusaniv

Welcome to the village of Bogdanovka in the Brovarsky district of the Kyiv region.&nbsp;

Before the occupation, it was a flourishing community. Children played in the streets. People built careers. Families grew and thrived.&nbsp;

Now everything is gone. Darkness and silence fills the streets.

Since the Russian invasion, families have been hiding in their basements. They live without electricity or gas. Grocery store shelves sit empty. Day and night, the people here live under rocket and artillery strikes.&nbsp;

We visited one of the destroyed schoolhouses. Outside, we found the twisted metal of a school bus that had been burnt down to its tires. Inside, the sun shone through the bullet holes covering the walls. A barely intacted blackboard sat in front of scattered desks and burnt notebooks.

Bogdanovka has lost so much and many families have fled. But not all of them. We met teachers and children who refused to walk away. They welcomed us to their homes. They thanked us for our help and shared their incredible tales.

The people of Bogdanovka showed us the incredible optimism and faith that can exist even under the worst conditions imaginable.&nbsp;

While it was inspiring to see families still laughing and smiling, the conditions were dire. Schools and daycare centres have been destroyed. Children have nowhere to study. They have nowhere to play. These young souls have matured in an instant.

Moved by her experience in Bogdanovka, Anna talked about how the families here &ldquo;continue to smile and a thirst for life burns in their eyes&hellip; All of us who have managed to escape the war should learn from their optimism and good spirit.&rdquo;

We must not forget about the war. As global citizens, it is our duty to do everything in our power to stop this brutal occupation.&nbsp;

How can you help Ukraine? Donate! Every cent helps and we make sure 100% of it goes directly to those who need it most.&nbsp;

Can&rsquo;t donate? Use your voice! Share these posts on your social media and remind people of what is going on right here, right now, on European soil.&nbsp;

We&rsquo;re always looking for DAO Charity fundraisers too. All of the funds you help us raise go directly to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and families in desperate need of food, medical care, and other essentials.&nbsp;

Join us and save a life today.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Anna Trincher volunteering in Bogdanovka, Kyiv region

DAO Charity started its work in the Zhytomyr region. Our first mission was to help Ukrainian families who had fled their homes in the east and south of Ukraine. Every week we&rsquo;ve come with food packages, hygiene products, household supplies, and toys to distribute to internal refugees in Ukraine.&nbsp;

One of our regular volunteers, Ruslan, talked to journalists about the work of DAO Charity. He explained how Ukrainians could get humanitarian aid from us and highlighted the importance of working with the government leaders.&nbsp;

At DAO Charity, to prevent fraud and keep every part of our process transparent, we work with official community leaders. We ask that they communicate regularly with residents to get clear and up-to-date lists of their needs. This helps us maximize every donation and focus on bringing exactly what people need and want.&nbsp;

Ruslan talked about our outreach efforts and the powerful help that the international community has offered. And, of course, he said that we will continue calling on the whole world to donate to Ukraine and bring us ever closer to victory.

Zhytomyr television talks about the work of DAO Charity

On DAO Charity&#39;s continued mission to help people living in destroyed villages around Ukraine, we&#39;ve been traveling the Kyiv region. During our latest trip, we were thrilled to be joined by television presenter Gena Viter. Through the villages of Mikhailovka, Zalesye, and Grebelki, we worked together to deliver 165 food packages to Ukrainian families in need.&nbsp;

As we met with the families living in these badly affected areas, Gena told us how much he admires these people who have been through so much. He couldn&#39;t get over their resiliency and faith in a brighter future. Even after surviving the occupation, he could see the hope in their eyes.&nbsp;

We were all particularly moved by the story of one man. His home had been taken from him and turned into a Russian army headquarters. The occupying forces were using his living room to plan the murder of his neighbors and the destruction of his village. When the house was finally burnt to the ground, he felt nothing but relief. Seeing the destruction of their headquarters was worth it even if it meant losing his home.&nbsp;

After seeing it all first-hand, Gena wanted to remind the world of how much these people have lost. With their homes and livelihoods gone, Ukraine needs your help daily.&nbsp;

Finding a way to support Ukraine can&#39;t just be a passing trend. We need daily acts of kindness to survive. Every cent you can spare helps. The price of a dinner in a nice restaurant could feed a family for a month here.

Want to help families in Ukraine? Donate today and save a life. Have extra time? Volunteer to help Ukrainian families and support the Ukraine armed forces.

&nbsp;

Television presenter Gena Viter joins DAO Charity

During our humanitarian trip around the Kyiv region, we were lucky enough to have Ukrainian presenter Yuriy Gorbunov join us in the village of Berezovka.&nbsp;

The war took Berezovka by surprise. In the early days of the invasion, people were fleeing Kyiv to hide out in their relatives&#39; homes here. Then it all changed overnight.&nbsp;

We met a woman who had fled to the village with her two children. On the second day of the war, the sky was darkened by helicopters. On the third day, a column of tanks filled the streets. So, she stood in those streets until our brave soldiers came to liberate the village.

She is just one of the many people of Berezovka with heartbreaking stories. The people here rely on humanitarian aid to stay alive. Without the loving support of people like you, they would not eat.&nbsp;

Yuri met a young guy who said he was living in the Rivne region when the war started. He came to his father&rsquo;s home in Berezovka to seek refuge.

- Do you have any neighbors back in Rivne? Gorbunov asked.

- No, the man replied.&nbsp;

- Have they left too?

- The neighbors? No, they were killed when their houses burnt, the guy answered matter-of-factly.

Everything and everyone he knew in his hometown was destroyed by the Russian invaders.&nbsp;

And this is an ordinary conversation with an ordinary guy from an ordinary village who survived the occupation. There are hundreds of places in Ukraine with people who have lived through these same horrors.&nbsp;

The people of Berezovka opened their doors to us and the destruction that we saw was unforgettable. The Russian army has taken everything these people have ever had.&nbsp;

Of course, the resilient children are still playing outside these demolished homes. On our visits, they run up to us each time, smiling, and thanking us for helping. Children are the first to forget their troubles, but it was those same children back in February who would shout &quot;on the floor&quot; each time helicopters buzzed overhead.&nbsp;

With time, hopefully, we will all forget these things that are simply too unbearable to think about. We will rebuild our homes. It&rsquo;s only a question of time. But, right now, we need to unite. We need ordinary people to help Ukrainian families. The people of Berezovka urgently need your help. Join us. Together we can save Ukraine.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Actor Yuri Gorbunov joins DAO Charity volunteers in Berezovka

The charitable community DAO Charity came to the village of Zagaltsy, in the Borodyansky district. The village survived the occupation, people were left without a roof over their heads, they were deprived of their jobs and the opportunity to live a normal life.

The singer Zlata Ognevich joined the volunteers. She distributed food packages to the residents of Zagaltsy and listened to people&#39;s stories.

&ldquo;Everything amazed me. Stories of villagers who had nothing left, whose houses were burned to the ground. You see, it&#39;s not just &quot;bricks&quot;. People have lived within these walls most of their lives: they loved here, raised their children, celebrated birthdays and the New Year. And in one hard moment, the houses were gone, they were bombed by the Russian army. But I believe in Ukrainians. They are brave and strong. We are obliged to help so that everyone who survived the horror of the occupation could return to normal life as soon as possible, &rdquo;Zlata Ognevich shares her experiences.

This time the volunteers collected and handed over 400 food packages. These are cereals, flour, sausage, sausages, sugar, tea and sweets. We returned to Zahaltsy for the second time and were able to help in a targeted way. Particular attention was paid to people with disabilities, many of them received humanitarian assistance for the first time.

You can&#39;t get used to war. People fled from the bombing, and when they returned, they realized that the house was no more. One of the residents said that the house was destroyed by a bomb. Now the family does not have their own housing, and the husband, in addition, has lost his workshop and the opportunity to earn money. Poultry survived and this is almost the only joyful moment.

People abandoned their homes with the hope of returning. But it turned out that there was nowhere to return. Therefore, everyone who has the resource and desire should unite and help!

Together with the singer Zlata Ognevich came to Kyiv region

DAO Charity helps not only the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we also take care of the surviving cities and people who survived the occupation. Borodyanka saw all the horrors of the war, so we came here again.

The occupation of Borodianka lasted from February 24 to March 13. The grief united the inhabitants. The neighbors have replaced the family, everyone helps in any way they can. People who have lost a roof over their heads now live with their neighbors.

We came to Borodyanka for the second time. They brought food and handed it out on the streets of the city. The locals already know the DAO Charity volunteers, so they welcome us as if they were their own. Thank you very much for the sausage, cheese and sweets. This is the first time such food packages have been delivered to residents.

People share with us the stories of the occupation: someone was left without a roof over his head, the war took away relatives from others. It selects the most valuable, but reminds us that we need to live with faith in the best and our victory.

We are obliged to help the residents of Borodyanka in the future, therefore, we ask you to donate to DAO Charity. Together we can make life easier for those in need. Join the fundraiser and remember - there are no small donations!

Help the survivors: visited the inhabitants of Borodyanka

Turnstile

The vitality of Ukraine&#39;s defenders is a critical issue that we need to close as much as possible. 1,800 tourniquet with a total value of $40,000 were delivered to the front line. They were handed over to separate units of the airborne assault troops.

What is a tourniquet? Let&#39;s put it in simple terms. In short, this is a vital thing on the battlefield. With a critical injury to the limbs, when the veins or arteries are affected, there is a high risk of severe blood loss and subsequent death. In such cases, tourniquets save lives in 70-80% of cases. It is critically important that the military has one, and preferably two, tourniquets at hand.

You need to understand that turnstiles are tactical medicine. It is designed specifically for the battlefield, the soldiers are able to provide first aid to themselves or to a wounded comrade. Therefore, we transfer all the turnstiles to the defenders, and not to military hospitals. 
&nbsp; 
The DAO Charity team has volunteers with military experience, so rest assured that your donations protect Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines. Make donations! Together we bring the victory of Ukraine closer!

1800 turnstiles already on the battlefield

An important mission of DAO Charity is to support military units with the necessary equipment. Therefore, we are especially proud of this batch of quadcopters. We handed over 5 drones of the latest generation worth $18,000. Gadgets have already been received and are actively used by scouts of the military units of the air assault troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

One of the drones is equipped with a thermal imaging camera, and this is a significant advantage! With it, the defenders will be able to see the enemy in the dark. And this is an important advantage on the battlefield. Quadcopters of the latest generation help to identify invaders and destroy them.

Therefore, rest assured, we direct every donation transferred to DAO Charity accounts to critical points. In addition, experts in military affairs cooperate with us, which means that all purchases definitely go to the front line and help the defenders of Ukraine.

Modern quadrocopters are already at the forefront

In May, the DAO Charity team delivered aid to residents of the village of Zagaltsy, Borodyansky district. The village was under occupation. This time, the DAO Charity was replenished with star volunteers: singer Anna Dobrydneva and blogger Mila Kuznetsova were with us.

We brought food packages to Zagaltsy. In one grocery package there were flour and cereals, sausages and sausages, sunflower and butter, cookies and sweets, tea. More than once, residents of the de-occupied territories thanked us for sweets, and not just essential products.

Anna Dobrydneva and Mila Kuznetsova joined the team for the first time.

Singer Anna shares her impressions: &ldquo;We distributed food packages, one set in one hand. A family came up: mom, dad and a small child. I gave the package to my mother, I hand another one to my father, but he refuses, saying that he wants the package to be enough for all residents.

One grandmother with tears in her eyes asked: 
- Where are you from, girls? Who helps so I know who to thank? Are you from Kyiv or where? 
- We are from Zhytomyr 
- Zhitomir! Lord, thank Zhitomir! Thank you for not forgetting us!

Ukrainians are an invincible nation! People are ready to share the latest, so that the neighbors also have something to cook dinner from.

And we will continue to deliver aid to the cities and villages affected by the war. We unite stars, volunteers and people who help! Doing good together is easy!

Together with the star volunteers we went to the village of Zagaltsy

Volunteers of DAO Charity delivered an electrocoagulator to the military hospital of Zhytomyr, with the help of which doctors will be able to work more effectively with wounds.

The fact is that when injured, minutes count, so the military hospital of Zhytomyr needed a modern electrocoagulator - a device that helps quickly stop bleeding and save lives.

Like the hospital staff, we are sincerely grateful to our donors, because thanks to you all this became possible.

 
A photo and video report on the campaign in the hospital has already been published on our Instagram: 
[link to the post about the trip to Zhytomyr]

Equipment delivered to Zhytomyr hospital

Our volunteers visited Bucha with charitable help - food and necessary medicines.

During the trip, they listened to the residents, their stories and wishes. Unfortunately, aid from the state rarely comes due to delivery difficulties, so the products donated by DAO Charity were received with great gratitude.

A photo and video report on the campaign in Bucha has already been published on our Instagram: 
[link to the post about the trip to Bucha]

Delivered food to the residents of Bucha

In early May, our volunteers delivered aid to the civilian population of the Zhezheliv village.

Preparations for the trip took more than two days, during which food and medicines were sorted according to the official request. As a result of sorting, 200 packages of humanitarian aid, including food and medicines, were packaged and delivered to residents.

A photo and video report on the action held in Zhezheliv is published on our Instagram:
