    We finished the $4,000 fundraiser to buy and deliver a much-needed utility trailer for my friends in the 508th Repair and Restoration Battalion (@508srrb) in just 17 days. Just wow! Thanks to everyone involved. I'll post an update regarding the delivery as soon as possible :). I'd like to remind everyone who has made a donation and would like to participate in the patch set raffle to upload their donation receipts here if he or she hasn't done so already. I'll draw the winners at the end of this week, and you'll have time until then.

    This fundraiser has raised 32% of the necessary funds in just a few days. That is very nice. But it is even nicer to deliver the equipment as fast as possible. How quickly can we raise another $2700?

    32% of $4,000 raised; $2,700 still needed. Andrew notes it raised 32% in just a few days.

    🚨 FUNDRAISER + RAFFLE | Today, with the support of the esteemed Liberty Ukraine Foundation (@LibertyUkraineF), I'm launching a $4,000 fundraiser to support my friends in the 508th Repair and Restoration Battalion (@508srrb). They urgently need a small utility trailer to allow their mechanics to move quickly and efficiently near the frontline area. Donate here: https://givebutter.com/508th-separate-repair-and-restoration-battalion Currently, the mechanics have to rely on a different solution that takes up both much more time and unnecessary resources. A smaller utility trailer will solve this problem and help ensure that the equipment and vehicles they maintain and repair can be returned to the respective units more quickly. The 508th Repair and Restoration Battalion is part of the 9th Army Corps and is responsible for repairs and maintenance on vehicles such as Leopard 1A5 MBTs, MaxxPro MRAPs, M113 APCs and many other vehicles. This is highly important, but sadly mostly overlooked work. This is why I ask you to support this fundraiser. To ensure total transparency and professional logistics, I've partnered with the Liberty Ukraine Foundation, which will handle the fundraiser, buy the trailer and deliver it to the 508th Repair and Restoration Battalion directly. Once the trailer arrived, I'll, of course, show proof of its delivery. 🚨 RAFFLE | To make things more interesting and encourage donations, I’m giving away three patch sets! All sets contain both a patch from the 508th Repair and Restoration Battalion and the latest Germany–Ukraine patch from the German defence company HENSOLDT, which, amongst other things, supplies it's highly modern TRML-4D air surveillance radars for Ukraine's IRIS-T SLM and the new FREYJA project. With a $10 donation, you'll enter the raffle! Let's get this done! Your help can and will make a difference.

    Initial announcement by @deaidua with Liberty Ukraine Foundation handling backend, purchase, and delivery. Goal $4,000 for small utility trailer for 508th Repair and Restoration Battalion. Raffle: $10 donation = raffle entry for 3 patch sets.
