I totally support the Ukranian citizens and soldiers! You are all so brave and committed to saving your precious democracy and freedom. God Bless you all, you are in my prayers every night.
Dear Defenders, Everyday People, Medical Personnel, All brave Souls,
Please know that we are with You! We pray that you are safe and that this Pak will help you to stay safe. We believe in You, in Ukraine, please stay strong! We wish we, regular people, could do more. We are with You! 🇺🇦🇺🇸🕊️❤️💙💛 Sending you Love and Prayers🙏❤️💙💛
Your country's flag flies from our window. We try to send donations as often as possible. We salute you for your courage and determination. We cannot promise the future due to a disastrous election for the new government but we pray support remains strong for your cause. Glory to Ukraine.
I wish all Ukrainians the very best for 2025. Every day I follow the news hoping that things go well for you. We share the same fundamental values of democracy and freedom. Unlike others that the US has supported, Ukraine is an example of bravery and determination that stand for these values, and I hope that our new administration understands it. God bless you, and guide you to victory!
I am of Polish/Hungarian decent, but my wife’s family is Ukrainian. So is my Byzantine Catholic priest and his family. The wife of the deacon of our church has a brother fighting for Ukraine on the front lines. I pray for Ukraine, its people and peace for Ukraine everyday. You have shown Putin—and the world—the resiliency of Ukraine! May God keep up your strength towards victory!
We are twin sisters in the United States who asked our friends and family to donate gifts to White Stork in lieu of Christmas presents this year. We hope and pray for an acceptable peace for Ukraine in the very near future.
I am SO encouraged by your strength and resolve to defeat the invaders! I am impressed by your ingenuity! I cry and pray for this atrocity to end soon. Ukraine will rise up and rebuild. But most importantly in your heart, stand strong, endure with faith and know that you are not alone! The People of the world care about you! I send to you much love my friend. xxoo
Glory to Ukraine!
It took us nine years for the US to gain independence from 1775-1783. We were forced to fight as long as the British made was on us. The good people of America are with you. May God bless you all.
Every day, I am thinking of each of Ukrainian defenders, and I am praying for each of you. I cannot even imagine how hard it is to fight those terrorists from russia. I know Ukraine will be free from terrorists, and Ukrainian people will be free from nasty russia forever. I know Ukraine has to be free and thriving in freedom.
I am a retired Boeing Manufacturing Engineer. I want to help you in your courageous fight to defeat Russian Czar: Vlad The Impaler. He is bad and you are good. God bless you. I would like to help sponsor a family of freedom fighters.
My heart aches for you and the people of Ukraine. Praying so hard that our upcoming president will go hard against Putin and wholeheartedly work with Ukraine to win this fight! Please stay safe over this holiday season. Bless you for your bravery and strength and courage. You are more than hero’s to me - superhuman superheroes !!!! Thank you.
My dear father fought against the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Island, which is very near our State of Alaska. He father was stationed on a base there and they were the closest to the area so he did fight. AND he came back to his family.
God Bless you all.

I wish I could do more to help the Ukrainian people and their brave soldiers from all walks of life. I don’t know what will happen when the Trump administration takes office in January. No matter what his administration does remember there are many Americans who support you. 🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Many Americans believe in your fight against Putin and stand with you in support, despite Trump and many Republicans wanting to end the military and financial help we have thus far provided. Try to fight on!
Keep up the fight. You are right about keeping your country! Russia is a big bully nd must be defeated, ie, get the hell out of Ukraine. Please note that Putin is destroying Russian economy, and destroying his male youth. When will the Russian people put a stop to him? Gods speed!
I think about the Ukrainian people every day and wonder what would I do if it was me or my family or my friends or my country. My heart goes out to you. I have funded 2 emergency packs for each of my three children and will make sure they understand this season of giving extends to those less fortunate than ourselves. Stay strong, you are not alone.
To whoever is reading this, my name is Jed Elias, and I used to think I was strong. I used to think I was brave. I used to think I had courage, heart or whatever else a man is supposed to be. But the truth is, I’m scared, like I always have been most of my childhood. When you grow up in the United States like I did, you somehow think that the overwhelming sense of American Patriotism you are seeing all around you, will eventually make you stronger, or that life will somehow hurt less because being born in America somehow gives you special privileges that other countries don’t have the luxury or liberty to enjoy.
What I’ve come to realize is that no matter what government, class structure or trials we are born into, we are all facing our own battle.
With this, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to you, the reader and all the heroic soldiers who have fought and have continued to fight in this war they never asked to be in.
I don’t know what it feels like to die and probably won’t know for quite sometime. What I know right now, is that you deserve better, just like all the people of Ukraine who have been forced into this war by Dictator Vladimir Putin because he feels that his desire for power is more important than the thousands of irreplaceable human lives he has taken in order to feel better about his country and about himself.
I did not used to be a man of faith, because I watched my family life fall apart right before the pandemic, and sadly could do little to nothing to fix it. In fact, it nearly led me towards suicide, as I questioned why would a loving God send me into this world just for me to eventually suffer and die when I never asked to be alive in the first place?
It’s taken me a while, but I’ve come to terms with my situation now, in large part because God gave me a dream where he told me that if I simply got out of my own way, I would find the prosperity and hope that was all around me.
While I don’t know what your current situation is, I know that I will never be able to imagine the horrors that you have gone through and endured so that people like myself did not have to.
In that way, I ask that you please remember and know that God loves you, He sees you even when you feel alone, tired, are suffering, or hopeless. It is the reason why He sent His only son to die for the sins of the world, so that He could spare you from the pain you never asked to go through. He fought for you and all of us long before the world ever knew you, because He alone knew that we could never defeat death on our own, no matter how much we tried.
If you don’t believe in God, please believe in my story. I have tried to “fix” myself for nearly a decade now because I had so much self-hatred thrust upon me, which I thought that deep down I deserved. What I can tell you now from the other side of my experience is that no matter how hard one attempts to save the world alone, it can not be done, no matter how much we would like it to be true.
There will always be another tragedy or injustice we face here on earth, because of the way the world is. In our own way, we all feel pain, we all struggle to understand why we were given life despite the truth of our immortality and death.
What I have found is in spite of all that, life can be a gift. If not for ourselves, then for those in our lives who make it so. And for those who have not received that gift yet, all that it means is that we get to be that gift to those who need it, just like Jesus was for all of us. That hatred, fear, suffering, war, and death is not the end, because there is something greater on the other side of it, but only if we choose to see it.
I will continue to support and pray for all of you just as you have continued to fight for all us and together, we can save each other.
Sincerely,
Jed Elias
I want to say that I’m sorry that the military support from the USA has been too little, too late, too many times. So many of us want freedom, democracy, justice and peace for Ukraine and believe in your rights. Your fight is just and your service to your country, determination and valor is historic. I pray for you and have to believe that the other democratic countries of the world will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, equipment and more because sadly the US government is going to get much worse. Many of us love Ukraine and believe in you, find strength where you can and don’t stop believing in yourselves.Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava!
Keep fighting the good fight! We believe in you. I hope the next administration does too. Americans don't want fascists in power. I see trauma every day in the ER and I can't imagine what you all are going through, it is horrific. I hope this donation helps even though it's not much. From Montana with love.
I wish no one needed these kits, but at least someone figured out how to make them and send them to you, so I hope that this helps. At least a little bit. Know that Ukraine is an incredible inspiration to all who believe in freedom!
YOU are true heroes!! Your strength and courage in the face of a great evil is legendary!! I wish you great success and great fortune in fighting this demon and in regaining your homeland!! YOU ARE BADASSES AND YOU ARE AMAZING!!! SLAVA UKRAINI!!!
Stay firm and strong. Send the invaders back to where they came from. Tell them to tell their loved one that they should get leadership ones that cares about them and stop the insanity of trying to control your country and go home and take care of their own families. Get new leadership that cares about them and stop trying to force their evil unto the Ukrainian people! Because you will never allow Putin to rule over Ukrainian or ruin your lives like he is doing to all Russians!
I’ve never fought in a war so I can only imagine what you go through. I’ve thought about you and your family’s sacrifices in defense of Ukraine and I have supported you 100% since the beginning. I bought a full size flag of Ukraine and I have it in my home. I love the design because it reminds me of the golden wheat and blue sky I loved when I was a young farmer in Kansas, USA. Your cause of defending your democracy is the best and I hope and pray that you will kick that rat Putin’s ass back to his hole in Russia. God bless you and Ukraine!
Stand tough, as you have been. You will get through this and some day life will be almost normal again. Prayers from an old US Navy Corpsman, from a long forgotten war.
Sending you so much love and support for defending your homeland. My grandfather Abraham was Jewish and Ukrainian and came to the United States over 100 years ago. I’m sending you my prayers and love.
This donation is made in memory of Lt. Colonel Glenn Koors, An American Vietnam Veteran who believed in your cause, and asked for this to be done at his death.
Sending my support and love. I am currently working with psychologists (via Zoom) in Ukraine to bring poetry and expressive writing to you. Take good care, Nick
Defenders: I served in the US Air Force from 74 to 2010, most of my active duty was in USAFE to counter the Warsaw Pact, Russia was then and now the greatest threat to world peace. Slava Ukraine
Thank you for your heroic defense of freedom and democracy. You are an inspiration to the world. The people of the United States of America stand behind you.
As a former US Army Medic, I want to tell you that you are all amazing. The Ukranian people have suffered so much, and we need to elect a responsible government that supports Ukraine in every way possible. You are our brothers and sisters.
Keep your spirits up! You have ALL done so well and karma will come around to bite Putin for his wickedness. Brave and strong Ukrainian people, you will get through this soon. God bless you all and well done! You are all so very brave and will win this awful War! Sending love and hugs to you all- stay strong ! We are with you !👩🏻🦳!💝👏👏👏🙏🙏😘🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻XXXX
Many Americans pray for you nightly and think that what Russia has done to your country is despicable! We are with you and we will continue to be with you as long as possible.
This old American lady loves you.
You are of the land, the ones loving the soil that nurtured you and generations before you. You are the fury of freedom for the good of the people. Sending you greetings, love, and strength. Great respect and honors to you. Lifting you up when you are down. Urging you on when you are tired. Always with you in caring. Please get home safe to your loved ones and friends. With gratitude and respect, Matoaka Little Eagle
HELLO to Ukraines soldiers,
We want to acknowledge the importance of Ukraine’s fight against Putin’s authoritarian regime. May you ALWAYS have Democracy in Ukraine.
The whole world is watching, and we are all standing up and cheering the Ukrainian people for standing up to Putin.
Much Love and Respect to all of you.
My Son was a Missionary there in 1992. Our family loves the Ukrainian people, no matter their religion. It is heartbreaking to see how much you are suffering. We pray for you everyday. May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you forever in his loving arms.
I send these twice a month at least - enough that it causes me discomfort financially. Enough that there's some small degree of sacrifice in it - however much it pales in comparison to what you guys are doing for the Free World against the Russofascist hordes.
As a former US Army Soldier, I admire your fight deeply. One of my dearest friends of many years lives in Zakarpattia and is awaiting his initial call-up, having registered at the local military office.
I know each of you that went to the front that fought - and especially those who became casualties - suffered to help me keep my friend, and our Democratic civilizations.
From the bottom of my heart - Дя́кую. Героям слава!
My heart breaks for you. It started the very first day I heard that Russia was attacking you! I was horrified and terrifically sad. Please take good care of all of yourselves and I pray that it will all be over soon!
I pray for peace and the end to Putin's reign of terror! May he be held accountable for his crimes in this world and the next.
Please do your best to repel the invaders, but remember that you are needed at home, too. We are thinking of you, and trying to get you more support.
Come home alive and make sure the Мudaks on the other side don’t get to do the same.
Best wishes from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
I wish you didn't have to fight at all but I admire and respect you standing up to Russia and protecting Ukraine's sovereignty. Canadians support Ukraine! Love and best wishes! 💕
I am so proud of all of you for standing up to that devil Putin. I am a US Marine Vet and it is my pleasure to help out.
You are an inspiration for the world. I know conditions are harsh. Please hold on, don't give up. Blessings for all of you resisting the invasion. 🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hang tough. I spent 2 years in IRAQ. STAY SAFE, MY BROTHERS.
If I can help keep even one soldier from bleeding to death, it makes me feel I’ve helped in some small way. Blessings on you all.
I am Canadian. I don’t know you, but you are like my next-door neighbor, you are like my sons, my daughters-in-law, my parents, my grandchildren. My wish for you is a peaceful loving life. I’m sorry that you must fight so hard for it. Thank you for your courage and stamina. We are watching you.
Seen the Ukrainian forces and heard them training at a United Kingdom proving gound, where I was training too. I hope my Donation saves a person and gets them back home to their loved ones. -RR
My wife passed away five years ago. I know that she would want to help in anyway she could. Her Grandmother was from Rovna, now in Belarus. She remembers that her Grandmother used to take her to the movies where she would sit knitting stockings for the soldiers. My wife’s father was from the Chernobyl area and her family name is from the city of Lviv, which I visited last year. You are in my prayers and I pray that you will have no need for the medical kits. I will continue to send ifaks until peace is made. Stay well.
In Memory of Eve Leoff
Your bravery and courage are unbelievable and inspiring. We here in the U.K. support you and are with you. 🇬🇧
My prayers have been with you and I pray this IFAK will make a difference. Nothing I can say seems enough, but know I care.
I pray you "beat-the-bear" soon and return to peacetime to rebuild your beautiful country.
Sending all you brave men and women fighting for your country all my hope for a successful and soon ending. 🏴🇺🇦
I visited Ukraine, including Kiev and Zaporizhzhia, when Zaporizhzhia was a small city with a hydroelectric dam rather than the site of a nuclear plant. You came to greet our train and threw us a party!
I will always remember your generosity and kindness. Thank you for being our friends.
God bless all the heroes fighting for Ukraine and all of her people. The people of the USA are with you! Slava Ukraine!💙💛🇺🇦

May the Lord and His Blessed Mother take the best care of you. Thank you for defending Ukraine. My maternal grandfather was born in Ukraine.
My heart goes out to you and your fellow countrymen and women. I know you are fighting for your lives. I wish that this war was over and everyone could live in peace. Until then, you remain in my heart and my prayers. Stay strong. Never give up the fight. God bless you all.
Fight for your independence and for your freedoms. God bless you! My prayers and admiration for such bravery!
Unless you defeat Putin's aggression, russia will continue to prey on the former members of the USSR until putin has satisfied his self-love and not the love of humanity.
I Pray that the better side of humanity will always be with us all in our time of need. Stay strong, stand up for your lives and country, and fight for your country until Peace is the true victor! And If a quick Forced Peace is the only answer? Do what must be done! To stop the fighting and win peace. This nightmare was forced upon you. You have every right to stop any aggressors that want to control you and your fellow Ukrainians. GOD bless you, and may you all find peace and justice! AMEN!
I am one American who stands with all the people of Ukraine. I’m also a retired nurse and teacher who knows how important the right equipment is to success. Stay strong.
I admire your courage and am backing you 100%. I will do all I can to elect our representatives who will support you until you achieve victory! Fight on!!!!
Dear Ukrainian Friend. Americans are praying for your success by the millions. I am so proud of your efforts, and we feel you have done a great job in keeping the Russians at bay. I hope the new equipment we are sending combined with the fighter jets will eventually force the enemy to retreat back to their own country.God bless you, your families and your countryYour American friends and prayer partners.
Thinking of all of you brave people daily. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. And I’m sorry trump and our Republican Party are making funding difficult. Stay strong.
So many of us Americans are saddened to see the tragic effects of Putin's war against Ukraine. Hoping this will end soon and you will have peace and joy in your lives again.🙏🙏

Greetings from a former Infantryman and member of the 82nd Airborne Division:Your tragedy is our tragedy. Your fight is our fight. Slava Ukraini!
Ukraine's courage in its fight against a enemy who is determined to take away its freedom is AMAZING. Ukraine is an inspiration to all of us who strive for a better and more just world . Thank you for the sacrifices you have made for humanity. You are a beacon of light and hope in this time of darkness.
I am a Polish-American and consider the people of Ukraine my cousins. I am praying for you and your Country.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area — my battlefield is only my vote … *your* battlefield is soaked in blood. We fight for freedom and for Good to prevail over Evil. But your personal bravery and risk calls upon you to be nearly super-human. May God preserve you — and Freedom — and all whom you love.🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
It is my honor to make a donation in the name of my brother, David Johansson, who visited Ukraine this year and is a passionate and steadfast supporter of this vital cause.
I don't know what to say, as I sit here in the USA. I listen to podcasts, follow Ukrainian news, etc. All I can say is you are in our thoughts always, and closely held in our hearts. For what that is worth. I send my love to you, and my deepest respect.
Our hearts are still with you and we hope and pray daily for your victory over the Orcs and their evil leader, Putin! Slava Ukraine!
Please know that most Americans are following the war in Ukraine and trying to help in any way we can.Just before Russia invaded, I was planning a vacation, including to your beautiful country. I will visit someday when Ukraine is once again at peace. I know it will happen.Love and hope for peace from an average old woman on the other side of an ocean, just a heartbeat away.
Hi everyone, please know the vast majority of Americans love and support you. We're doing our best to rid our White House of the conmen and traitors. My vote, my heart- will always be for Ukraine. I understand the communist spread/threat. And you guys are doing amazing. Kicking Ass and taking names ! V.Z. is an Amazing president too.Keep Up The Fight.The American people & GOD are with you..Thank you, & God Bless you All....

I'm 76. Wish I was younger I would volunteer to fight along with you Ukrainian heroes. Heroism Slava.Former USMC Sgt. Vietnam era vet.
My son was a medic in Afghanistan. The work he did with others was invaluable. Know that your work is valued beyond measure.
Our deepest gratitude for your efforts to protect Democracy and freedom not only for Ukraine but also the world. I hope this will help, if only a little, to reduce the suffering, sorrow and grief Putin has inflicted on Ukraine and its people. Victory to the just, victory to Ukraine, Comfort to its people!
I'm so damn proud of you extraordinary Ukrainians - defending yourselves and democracy against those ignorant lowlife pukin' putin invaders.Our US intelligence agencies have once again warned Americans that we're having to again deal with Putin-Russian interference (on behalf of his buddy lowlife Trump) in our elections. Sheesh.Stay strong!!!
The people of the United States support your brave defense of your country. Your fight is followed on our news every night. You are not forgotten.
