From our efforts to get humanitarian aid into Ukraine. Refugee children, hospitals, orphanages, rehab centers, and even a couple adopted soldiers can all depend on us to bring them whatever it is they need 💙💛 https://donorbox.org/keep-the-express-running
Everyone, things are starting to get sorted and sent out! The pictures you see below were part of that GIGANTIC shipment we received from Gina and Ambulance4Ukraine Kent, and we're assembled into care packages for our defenders in the 93rd Mechanized and the 25th Airborne!
Cheers, everyone!
Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Texas, USA! Mrs. Stephanie's post cards have arrived!
Every trip she sends these over so the kiddos know there are real people out there who are thinking of them, and we're going to make sure every kiddo gets one!
Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Ambulance4Ukraine Kent!!! It's our LARGEST shipment we've ever received!
And thank you to Gina and to ALL of her volunteers and donors who made this possible!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, $1000.00 was just sent directly to our account! Vikki in Dnipro, is on the phone with the Children's Hospital to see what they need!
Our fundraiser is still open if you would like to help our kiddos in Dnipro get some Easter treats this year:

Everyone, I've mentioned that the hard work you do has earned you a reputation among those we help in Ukraine. That reputation has now manifested itself in the form of a song that was written about us.
This was written by SixTen in the 25th Airborne. Enjoy!

One of the athletes on Vladyslav's helmet was a 15-year-old girl who was killed in a russian missile strike on her apartment in Dnipro in 2023. We were there then, and we certainly remember Mariia's murder now.
Remembrance is not a violation.
Drones hit our friends near Dnipro. This Mother and Daughter group (Founders of the NGO "Milania") have endured countless strikes on their city near Dnipro, and have never ceased in their efforts. Now they've taken direct fire.
We're collecting to help them rebuild:

Bad news: The 4-Runner developed a misfire. It turns out that we were leaking coolant into the intake and we weren't certain where that leak was coming from.
Going "full nuclear" we decided to split the engine in half to change the head gasket and every other gasket along the way.
Fun times!
Everyone, you have done it!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are getting our defenders in the 37th their 4x4!!!!
Thank you all for making this possible. Happy Friday, everyone!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, this comes directly from our friend "Arctic Raven" on The Kyiv Independent's Discord server and was purchased by our very own magician "Vikki in Dnipro". Here is some much needed gear delivered directly to the 25th Airborne!!
Watch the video here: youtu.be/D0_-iyLKifQ

Everyone, we've had a nice little bump this week! As I type this, we had to cut our phone chat short as Savage and his team are ducking from Shaheed drones.
If you wanted to pitch in then you can donate on our website (www.DniproExpress.com) or through donorbox at donorbox.org/keep-the-exp...
We saw the fucking videos.
Our third and final power supply delivered!!! This one made it just in time, as the power failures have gone from "hours" to "days". It's in use in Vikki's house, and spent the night keeping the heat on.
Stay warm, Vikki. And thank you for all you do to make our efforts the successes they are!!!
Look what arrived! It's our second Bluetti power supply, this time with our mortar team in the 1st International!!!
A HUGE thank you to everyone involved for making this possible!!!
Everyone, we're almost half-way there!! We're setting our goal at $4000 (or 3000GBP) for the purchase of this 4x4 we're going to deliver to our team at the 37th. I've made a little tracker for us to follow, and will be updating it as we go!

Everyone, it's Ruslan with his new power supply!!!!
I know it looks cold in the picture, but he is sending his WARMEST thanks for making this purchase possible. A HUGE shoutout to everyone who helped fund this for our medic.
Everyone, we've just received photos back from the Dnipro Children's Hospital. Our UV Disinfectant lights have been installed and are in operation!!
Thank you all for making this possible, and for all of the good that these are going to do for the doctors and children.
Everyone. As promised, here are the photos of our children from our Christmas run.
Please take a moment to enjoy the smiles that you put on our children's faces, and I REALLY hope you see the reflection of all the good you're bringing into this world.
Thank you
