    🚨 EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER – We’re So Close 🚨 Only $1,100 USD remains. The video I’m sharing shows what happened to Gimli Division’s FPV position in Kostiantynivka. The team survived, but their position and critical equipment did not. Without that equipment, they cannot return to defending Ukraine. This is where crowdfunding changes everything. If 220 people gave just $5, we’d reach our goal. If 110 people gave $10, we’d close this fundraiser. No single person has to carry the burden. That’s the power of this community. Small donations, coming together, have kept these soldiers equipped and alive for years. Please, if you’ve ever thought, “My donation is too small to matter,” today is the day to prove that it does. Let’s get Gimli Division back where they belong - defending Ukraine. PayPal: gimlidivision9@gmail.com Every dollar. Every repost. Every share. Every act of kindness brings us one step closer. 🇺🇦❤️

    I am completely overwhelmed. Our dear friend Natalka Lindstrom @NatalkaL has just donated $2,250 USD to Gimli Division. 🥹 @GimliDivision Natalka isn’t just a donor. She’s family. She was the original Gimli Girl - the person who believed in us from the very beginning. She donated the very first thank-you gifts that made my first fundraising raffle possible, and she has stood beside Serhii and me ever since. Because of her incredible generosity, we have now raised $3,262.12 of our $4,500 goal/ over 70% of what we need to replace the destroyed FPV control station and get the team in Kostiantynivka operational again. Natalka, there are no words big enough to express what your kindness means to us. Thank you for always believing in Gimli Division, for believing in Serhii, and for believing in me. From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. ❤️ Now let’s finish this together. We are so close. PayPal: gimlidivision9@gmail.com 🇺🇦

    I’m glad this question was asked. There are a lot of new people joining our community who weren’t following the war from the beginning. Many have had to sort through years of propaganda and misinformation before deciding who to trust. Asking questions is part of that process, and I think it’s important that we answer them openly. More than four years into the full-scale invasion, people are often surprised to learn that we’re still crowdfunding essential military equipment. But the reality is that soldiers, their families, volunteers, and communities are still filling urgent gaps every single day. Today’s example is a perfect one. When this FPV control station was destroyed, the brigade couldn’t simply pull another one off a shelf. Ordering a replacement through official procurement would mean waiting until it could be included in a much larger purchase. That takes time they don’t have. By raising funds directly, we can replace critical equipment quickly and get these drone teams back into the fight. There are many large fundraising initiatives doing incredible work, but there are also countless units whose immediate needs are met only because communities like ours step in. That’s what we’ve been doing for over four years as part of the international #NAFO community, and we’ll keep doing it for as long as we’re needed. Thank you to everyone who asks questions in good faith, donates, shares, and helps others understand why this work still matters. I’m sharing a video of the @GimliDivision Commander Serhii Kashyrin talking about how grateful he is & how important you are. He’s addressing the video to you. Yes - you 😘 PS I heard #smokefléét is interested in helping also. New audience = important to stick to basics & build trust through honesty & transparency. PPS My brothers lost all their essentials but their lives were spared in an orc attack yesterday. We have an emergency collection below. Please help.

    EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER Today, Gimli Division’s FPV position in Kostiantynivka direction was destroyed by an enemy strike. By a miracle, every member of the team escaped the basement in time. They are all alive. ❤️ But they lost nearly everything they need to operate, including their FPV drone control station - the heart of their operations. Without it, they cannot effectively carry out their missions in one of the hottest sectors of the front. 🎯 Goal: 200,000 UAH (~$4,500 USD) Every donation and every repost helps put these defenders back in the fight. PayPal: gimlidivision9@gmail.com Equipment can be replaced. Lives cannot. Thank you for standing with @GimliDivision and Ukraine. 🇺🇦
