Sponsors: Honorary Consul of Lithuania to Vermont and Saxtons River Distiller 

Campaign champion: 

Kerry Secrest, Honorary Consul of Lithuania to Vermont and friends

Kerry is on our Advisory Board and has been supporting Ukraine since the onset of the war. Kerry has held fundraisers for us in the past, and we are grateful for this campaign, which she has created for us to provide needed supplies to Ukraine's defenders.

What it means on the front lines:

A defender steps on a landmine and deeply cuts a leg - the tourniquet they now have may save them.

 A defender is shot in chest - the chest seal they now have will prevent air from entering the cavity, and may save them.

*Defenders: 2/3 to 3/4 were civilians before the war, with jobs just like we have

YOUR GENEROSITY

Blue/Yellow USA cannot not do this without your continued support.  It operates without government funding, donations come entirely from private sources. Your generosity has enabled them to supply critical medical care to Ukraine’s defenders and civilians. Please join Kerry in supporting Blue/Yellow USA's work.

Together we are all making a difference, contributing to Ukraine’s path to victory, and until then we need to be firm in our commitment to continue to provide medical aid. Please donate if you can and share this widely among your family, friends and your social media. Let us all do everything we can to provide this critical assistance. 

DOCTORS, CORPORATIONS, MEDICAL FACILITIES

If you are a doctor, corporation or medical facility interested in donating supplies, and/or bulk donations of critically needed items, or large medical equipment, please contact Blue/Yellow USA directly at blueyellowusa@foblueyellowukraineusa.org.

THANK YOU!!

INDIVIDUAL FIRST AID KITS

Since the massive increase in Russian attacks has  exponentially increased the need for critical medical supplies for those  who are wounded, we are in need of IFAKs which include tourniquets, compression bandages, hemostatic gauze, chest seals, decompression needles, airway tubes and more, to help keep soldiers alive. 

We have a request from military units for 1300 IFAKs for immediate delivery. 

The cost per IFAK is $50-$100. They are not  standard issue gear, and Ukraine’s defenders cannot afford them. (Military pay is $200-$400 per month.)

NIGHT VISION OPTICAL EQUIPMENT

Requests for these have also multiplied exponentially as Russia's attacks increase. The items help Ukraine's defenders, and front-line medics see at night, allowing for mobility and safety.  

AMBULANCES, AMBULANCE EQUIPMENT, FUEL

Blue/Yellow USA has four vehicles for evacuations and medical care. Together with our British volunteers we have 2 ambulances and two evac vehicles with medical equipment. A recently donated ambulance requires repairs and equipment: back hydraulic lift repairs, stretcher system,  six new tires, infusion systems, lights and sirens need repairs, ambulance bag and supplies, oxygen tanks and suction device supplies.

We are in need of a critical care ambulance as well, and have been reviewing options.

Our org does city and out of city medevac runs for wounded soldiers and civilians. Fuel costs for out of city runs are $120 per day, in city $120 every 3-4 days, and will rise: per government announcement.

YOUR GENEROSITY

For the needs listed above we are fundraising for $100,000. Blue/Yellow  USA cannot not do this without your continued support.  It operates  without government funding, donations come entirely from private  sources. Your generosity has enabled  us to supply critical medical care, nonlethal equipment, protective gear, drones and other much needed aid to Ukraine’s defenders and  civilians. 

THANK YOU!!
