🧛🏻 KRAKEN has his cape on and his eye on your fiver! 🐙🩸
We’re just $20 from 35% for the drone detectors. Help take a bite out of that gap before he comes knocking! 🦇
I’m adding 5% to every donation until Halloween. Who’s brave enough to feed the little monster? 🇺🇦
Drone Signal Detectors
KRAKEN GUR MO drone pilots need signal detectors for their fixed-wing drones. These devices scan the air for drone signals. They can warn pilots when an enemy drone is nearby and help find the drone and the person controlling it.
Each set of parts costs 75,000 UAH to build and install on a UAV. At least two sets are needed.
Total Goal: 150 000.00 ₴
Raised: 6457 ₴

Fellas, let's show a wave of NAFO love and follow my friends from Kyiv. They are doing an amazing job dismantling russian lies and fundraising and deserve many more followers ❤️ can i count on you?
Ukrainian forces have delivered around 4 tons of food and medicine to 100 locations across Oleshky, Ukraine. 🇺🇦
This is important but it is not a solution to the crisis.
Oleshky is a Ukrainian city in the Kherson region under Russian occupation. Around 2,000 civilians, including about 50 children, are still living there.
There has been no electricity for four years, no gas for more than a year, and regular food supplies have stopped. Residents are surviving on what they can grow themselves and by trading food for food.
Getting regular humanitarian aid into the city remains extremely difficult because of mines, drones and ongoing fighting around the area.

#Fellas - this one is for the kids. They've lost so much in the past few years. Let's give them some joy. Please donate whatever you can. Small donations WILL help. Thank you.

At this point, I'm hoping we will eventually reach the goal. This project has been active for 3 and a half months.

"MISSION JOY: IMPOSSIBLE NO MORE"
A high-stakes race against time to bring playgrounds to the children of Svalyava and Chynadyiovo Orphanages.
Mission Briefing:
"Agent Horia, your mission—should you choose to accept it—does not involve stealing secret files or disarming bombs. Instead, you are tasked with delivering something far more powerful: joy. Your objective: to install two outdoor playgrounds in the orphanages of Svalyava and Chynadyiovo by June 1st. The clock is ticking. The children are waiting. Failure is not an option."
Act I: The Stakes (Desperation and Hope)
Svalyava and Chynadyiovo: Two orphanages where children dream of simple pleasures—like swinging, sliding, and laughing in the sun.
The Reality: Empty courtyards, worn-out equipment, and a childhood stolen by circumstance.
The Challenge: How do you turn barren spaces into kingdoms of adventure in just a few weeks?
The Gadgets (Tools of the Mission):
The Playgrounds: Not just metal and plastic, but tools of transformation—weapons against boredom and sadness.
The Logistics: Transport, assembly, and the element of surprise—all synchronized like a Swiss watch.
The Team: Volunteers, donors, and partners—unsung heroes making the impossible, possible.
Act II: Execution (Tension and Triumph)
Day Zero: The equipment leaves the warehouse. "72 hours until deadline."
Obstacles: Rough roads, customs delays, and a race against time.
Key Moments:
Arrival in Svalyava: "First playground assembled. The children watch with wide eyes, unaware of the surprise awaiting them."
Chynadyiovo: "Second playground complete. Time: 14:59. Mission almost accomplished."
Act III: The Impact (The Reward)
June 1st, 15:00: The grand reveal. Screams of joy, laughter, and children racing to claim their new playground.
Reactions :A 7-year-old boy in Svalyava: "Now we have a park, just like in the stories!"
A caretaker in Chynadyiovo: "We don’t know how to thank you. You’ve brought light here."
Mission Accomplished: "Agent Baciu, you did it. You turned two empty courtyards into worlds of joy."
Epilogue (The Final Message):
In this world, some missions don’t require explosions or high-speed chases to be heroic. Sometimes, all it takes is a playground, a group of children, and an open heart. Mission Joy is complete. But the adventure has only just begun...

Friends, I want to help Horia finally be able to say, "Mission Joy accomplished." That’s why I’m giving a cool mousepad to anyone who donates at least €50 for the orphans. 🫡🇺🇦

“What stands out most to him about NAFO hasn’t happened yet: “One day, when the war is over and history is written, this movement will be remembered as something legendary, a moment when ordinary people stood up and said: ‘We were there. We helped. And we were right.’”united24media.com/life-in-uk…

Unfortunately we got stuck again. No movement. We can’t be this close and call it a day, and I know this is not essential.
