Wishing everyone a peaceful night… though who knows, because I can already hear that damn thing roaring in the sky — looks like our “neighbors” are at it again. I don’t even know what kind of shift it’ll be tonight. There are constant requests from the guys — I won’t write much, just a few examples:
Photo 1:
For a KAMAZ 5320 (1991) — need 12 units.
Photo 2:
Old-style repair kit M30x1.5 — 12 units.
“Good day. Would it be possible to get 20 liters of 10W40 oil, 4 liters of brake fluid DOT-4, 20 liters of antifreeze, grease for cardan shaft joints, and 5 liters of generator oil?”
“Is there any chance to help with a generator — preferably diesel, since we barely get any gasoline? If it’s gasoline-powered, we’ll buy the fuel ourselves… maybe also some stoves…” (I cut out the profanity).
“Hello! We really need tires for the T4 — they’re shredded, at least the front two…”
“Anna, good day! Is there any chance you could help with brackets and chemicals?”
“Alarm! Any updates on medical instruments? Can we count on your help? Sorry for being pushy, but you know how urgent it is! We also really need injectable painkillers, syringes, and seasonal medicines!”
“Anna, hello! We have a problem — the guys are almost surrounded, they need instant food or canned goods, only in tins — we’re dropping supplies to them by drone. It’s too dangerous to send vehicles — they’re sitting targets! Please help!”
“Hi, this is from the 225th! We’ve been hit hard, everything burned — blankets, sleeping bags, documents — anything you can spare!”
This is what my message feed looks like constantly, especially over the past week… I can’t sleep — even during those 3–4 hours when I manage to drift off, I dream about searching for things and finding supplies. Almost everything has to be bought, because almost nothing is free anymore. We also need to find and fuel a vehicle to deliver aid — mine is still under repair in Kyiv. Out of the ₴90,000 needed for repairs, with your help we’ve managed to raise ₴56,000 — I’m deeply grateful to each and every one of you.
