Friends, as promised, here is the update on the Volkswagen Transporter. I’ll be honest—finding something truly reliable and suitable for our conditions wasn’t easy. But we did it. Today I’m leaving home and heading back to the front. At least this time, not by train. Sorry it took so long to post this report. This steel workhorse is finally ready for duty. Now all that’s left is the journey—almost 1,100 km to Zaporizhzhia. I’d say that’s the perfect test drive.
Volkswagen Transporter acquired and ready for duty. Organizer driving it ~1,100 km from home to Zaporizhzhia front.

$1,000 remaining of $8,000 goal → $7,000 raised (inferred: goal minus stated remaining)
We are one step away from our goal! Only $1,289 stands between us and success! My dear friends, your RT can significantly impact the course of this fundraiser! The trees have turned green, and the enemy continues to infiltrate. The kill zone is expanding, and vehicles today are expendable. Please, hear me.
Update 03.05: $1,289 remaining of $8,000 goal → $6,711 raised. One step from goal.
$330 was raised today. Once again, thank you for the warm words and sincere wishes on my birthday. I’ve grown one year older. I truly hope to celebrate my next birthday surrounded by my family and loved ones.

$1,645 remaining of $8,000 goal → $6,355 raised. Appeal to close the campaign.
Tomorrow I turn 33. Everyone knows my callsign is Jesus — and according to scripture, Jesus was crucified at 33. I’m about to write my own life story. The best years of my life have been spent on the front line. And this birthday, I’ll be meeting under the buzzing of FPV drones and the roar of guided bombs. It is an honor to serve the Ukrainian people. Loyal — forever. $1,718 left to reach the goal. #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #UkrainianArmy #Frontline #WarInUkraine #SupportUkraine #Freedom #Victory #Donate #SlavaUkraini
$1,718 left to reach $8,000 goal → $6,282 raised. Birthday post from frontline (organizer turns 33 on May 2).
I’m excited to share some good news with you, friends. Today alone, we raised $735. We’re very close now. Your persistence and relentless energy leave even the most biased algorithms with no chance.
$735 raised today alone (delta only; image is a selfie). Derived total ~$6,288 from prior $5,553 + $735.
Friends, we have $2,463 left to raise to reach our goal. Can I ask you to be as active as possible so we can achieve this by my birthday on May 2? I’m reaching out to all my family and friends who have been walking this path with me.
$2,463 left to reach $8,000 goal (implied ~$5,537 raised; prev recorded $5,553 — minor rounding diff). Organizer appeals to close by his birthday on May 2.
$2,447 stand between us and success. Vladimir Putin has made it clear that peace does not interest him, which means the war continues. The stakes are rising. Moscow is preparing for mobilization. This summer, heavy battles await us for Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kupiansk. There are still those willing to defend every meter of Ukrainian land at the cost of their own lives. They are few, but they exist. Ukraine’s mobilization resources are significantly smaller than those of Russia. That means our strength lies in professionalism—and in our deep, almost genetic love of freedom. Now or never. The two-headed monster must be defeated.
$2,447 to goal ($8,000 total) → $5,553 raised. Urgent appeal: heavy battles expected in Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, Kupiansk this summer.
Friends, I doubt this post will get many views, for reasons that are clear to everyone, but I still ask you to share it with others. We are just $2,668 away from success. Can I count on your support?
$2,668 away from goal of $8,000 → $5,332 raised. Appeal to share.
Friends, only $2,871 separates us from success. For months, I wrote about the necessary measures to defend Zaporizhzhia, and now I stand in the ranks with those carrying out these measures on the front line. It is an honor to fight shoulder to shoulder with the best sons and daughters of Ukraine. We are ready to fight for every meter of Ukrainian land. The enemy will be defeated, for the Lord guides us! Not one step back! Hold the line!
$5,129 / $8,000 raised; $2,871 to go. Organizer fighting on front lines in Zaporizhzhia direction.
Since yesterday, $0 has been raised. Thank you to everyone who hasn’t grown tired of the fight. We do not give up. Only forward.
Daily check-in: $0 raised in past 24h. Total still $4,918 / $8,000. Organizer thanking supporters and reaffirming commitment.
$152 was raised today. Any result motivates and inspires me. Even if we didn’t manage to raise a single cent, I still see how hard you try, and it is sincere. That matters. Thank you for being here.
$152 raised today; estimated total $4,918 (DB $4,766 + $152 increment)
Today, $40 was raised. Thank you to everyone who stands by my side. A new chapter of my life begins, bringing new challenges, so I may be offline for some time. Please, do not lose faith in Ukraine.
$40 raised today; estimated total $4,766 (DB $4,726 + $40 increment). Organizer mentions a new chapter/going offline.
Friends, attention. We are $3,274 away from the goal at one of the hardest and most decisive moments of this struggle. This is not the time for indifference. Not the time to stand by in silence while others carry the weight alone. Inaction has a cost too — and often a higher one than people realize. Spending one minute of your time to repost this is the smallest effort that can still create a real impact. Now imagine the force of that action if many choose to do the same. For you — one minute. For me — a transporter that will help those who continue to hold the line when it matters most. Moments like these reveal who only watched from the sidelines, and who truly stood with us. Please think about that. #Ukraine #NAFO #SupportUkraine #StandWithUkraine #HelpUkraine #Fundraiser #SlavaUkraini
$3,274 still needed of $8,000 goal → $4,726 raised; appeal to share/repost for the transporter fundraiser
We have moved into a new and most difficult phase of this prolonged armed confrontation: a war of attrition. With each passing day, more people are losing hope and no longer feel ready to continue the struggle, while more and more questions remain without answers. More sincerely than ever, I am grateful to all those who still find the strength to carry on.
Reflection appeal post quoting initial announcement; war of attrition framing; no new amount.
My dear friends, I really need your help right now — more than ever. I’m counting on your support.

Yesterday, we managed to raise $15. There were no further donations. We continue destroying the enemy both on land and in the air. It is an honor to serve the Ukrainian people.
Raised $15 yesterday; no further donations. Total $3,574 of $8,000 goal.
Friends, important information for you! There have been changes regarding the current fundraiser. This vehicle will be used on the front line, not in the context of anti-Shahed operations. I have made the decision to transfer to a company that specializes in using heavy Vampire bombers to help hold back the Russian offensive on one of the key sectors of the front. The need for transport increases many times over. Not one step back. We must bring this war to an end. We will win.
Important change: vehicle purpose changed from anti-Shahed to support for a company using heavy Vampire bombers on a key front sector.
At this moment, we have managed to raise $3,559 out of the required $8,000. Despite all my skepticism and realism, today I have no bad news for you. The occupiers have no significant success on any section of the front. The Kremlin’s war machine is rapidly heading into the abyss. We must preserve the advantage we have.
$3,559 raised out of $8,000 goal. No bad news from the front today.
Today, $0 was raised. The reason is obvious — people simply don’t see my posts. Why are Ukrainians paying such a price, going through this level of suffering every single day, while “someone” does everything to make sure their voices are not heard? The deaths of Ukrainians have been reduced to just posts in a feed — and now even those posts are no longer visible. The break is over. I’m preparing to head back to positions.
$0 raised today — shadow ban limiting post visibility. Fundraiser stalling.
Today, $154 was raised. That’s a very solid result, especially given the large number of other fundraisers happening right now — but it was achieved through the efforts of just two people. In previous fundraisers, many more members of our organization were actively involved.
Raised $154 today (daily total, not cumulative). Only two people actively fundraising despite slow pace.
Friends, yesterday we raised $14. Unfortunately, I have to acknowledge that the pace of fundraising has slowed down. Alongside my current work, I am also involved in other projects — and these are the very results you gladly share with each other. Air defense, as well as the development of Middle Strike and Deep Strike capabilities, are among the key areas that must continue to grow. Your support is extremely important.
Raised $14 yesterday. Acknowledges slow fundraising pace.
$3,193 out of $8,000. Friends, despite all the difficulties, we have almost reached 50% of the required amount. Halfway there! You are the ones whose actions speak louder than a thousand words. You are the ones who prove that the impossible is possible. Thank you for standing with me.
$3,193 out of $8,000 raised. Nearly halfway to goal.
Today we raised only $13, but I received something much more valuable — a huge amount of positive energy from talking with my son, even if only through a video call, thanks to @BlueYeti72 It was a beautiful day that brought me a lot of joy.
$13 raised today (April 14); calculated cumulative $2,983 from prior confirmed total of $2,970.
Today, we raised $150. Friends, there is a growing need for transport vehicles, because we are now also covering the Kherson direction, and in the future, we may be defending the skies in the Kharkiv direction as well. There are other projects too, but the details are strictly classified. Please stay with me. You remember my post about the development of Middle Strike and Deep Strike? Thanks to these two components, the front remains stable.
$150 raised today. $2,820 + $150 = $2,970 raised of $8,000 goal.
Friends, we now have $2,820 on the account, which means $5,000 left to reach our goal. Success is closer than it seems. Thank you to everyone who is walking this path with me. Your support means more than words can express. My dream is to write a book one day — a book about the noble actions of people who truly care about the fate of this world.
$2,820 raised, $5,000 to go toward Volkswagen Transporter goal.
Another day is coming to an end. Today, we received new “birds,” and they have already proven themselves in action. This is what delivers results — fast and precise. So far, we have raised $2,394 out of the required $8,000. Tomorrow is Easter — the most important day for Christians. I’m writing this at the peak of emotions. With tears I can no longer hold back. Because behind this day — there is constant pressure, stress, and decisions that determine whether someone lives or dies. And a quiet emptiness when you realize how far you are from your children, your family, from a normal life. Lord, have mercy on us. Grant us victory over the enemy. And to our warriors — grant them a worthy death and eternal life. If you can help — now it truly matters. Every dollar contributes to the result. Every share is a chance to be heard. Stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦
$2,394 raised of $8,000 goal for Volkswagen Transporter. Team received new drones ('birds') already in action.
Friends, we have reached $1,736 as of now. Your activity is the key to success. We are getting closer to our goal.
$1,736 raised — getting closer to the $8,000 goal.
Friends, as of now, we have managed to raise $1,486 out of $8,000. In the conditions of modern warfare, we must remain максимально mobile and adaptive in order to respond quickly to any challenges our enemy throws at us. Is it even necessary to explain how critical transportation is in this reality? Every combat task — especially those involving UAV operations — depends directly on having reliable transport. Please take a moment to reflect on this and make your decision. Every contribution matters.
$1,486 raised of $8,000 goal for Volkswagen Transporter. Every contribution matters.
Friends, unfortunately the last donation of $33 was received on April 6. I am not giving up and will continue the fight. Please support this fundraiser.
Last donation of $33 received on April 6. Fundraiser still active, organizer not giving up.
Friends, as of now, we have managed to raise $1,138. Thank you so much for such an incredible result on the eve of the bright celebration of Christ’s Resurrection.
Raised $1,138. Easter eve update.
Right now, we have raised $146. It’s not just a number. It’s proof that someone, somewhere, chose not to look away. The final goal still feels far. I won’t pretend otherwise. But distance doesn’t mean impossibility — it only measures how much resolve is required to get there. And we have that. This is an urgent fundraiser for a Volkswagen Transporter — not for comfort, not for convenience, but because without reliable transport, time is lost where time cannot be lost. And here, time has a cost that cannot be repaid. I’m asking you to take part. Not out of obligation, but out of understanding. Because indifference is the only thing that truly makes this goal unreachable. You can review full reports from previous fundraisers in my profile. Every dollar is accounted for. I take that responsibility seriously — not because I have to, but because I know what trust costs. If you’ve read this far, you’re already part of the reason we keep going. Now decide what that means.
Raised $146; fundraiser identified as for a Volkswagen Transporter.
Today we raised $33. That’s not a number you brag about. But it’s a number you remember. Because behind it — are real people who chose not to scroll past. Who decided that this war is not someone else’s problem. I won’t lie to you — without your support, things don’t just slow down. They stop. Completely. There is no запасний план. No hidden resources. No one coming later to fix what we couldn’t. Only those who are here now. So I’m asking you directly — not as an audience, but as people I rely on: If you’re still reading this, you’re already part of it. Don’t stand aside. Every contribution is not “help”. It’s participation. And right now — participation is what keeps us going.
Raised $33 so far. Motivational appeal to continue.
