I’m Ukrainian and I’m trying to help my friends and family who are being attacked. All money raised would be used to buy essential goods for civilians, joining the territorial defense teams in Zaporizhzhya, Kyiv, Odesa and Ivano-Frankivsk.

I keep receiving lists of items, desperately needed by my friends:

- Communication (walkie talkies; radios)

- Binoculars, night vision binoculars, thermal vision scopes

- Power banks, power stations, solar charging panels, batteries

- Meds

- Torches

- Protective and thermal clothing

- Boots

I’ve been raising money privately via friends and family and we sent the first shipment of equipment on the 4th March but we need so much more.

I wanted to create an easy method for everyone to be able to share with friends and donate - hence this page. Your donations will most definitely save someone’s life.

My story:

My name is Iryna, I’m a fashion designer based in Birmingham. I was born in Zaporizhzhya, I finished school in Kyiv and studied at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. I did my masters at The University of Birmingham Business School.

Now I live in the UK, however a lot of my friends and direct family members are suffering all over Ukraine.

Please help and share - together we can help my courageous friends in Ukraine. Every donation makes a difference!
