YOUR DONATIONS AT WORK: AUGUST 2025
In August 2025, we provided 871 items to 338 Defenders:
169 individual first aid kits (e.g. tourniquets, chest seals)
217 protective equipment items (electronic earmuffs ...)
319 tactical gear items (camelbacks, knee pads, canteens...)
36 uniform components (uniform sets, sleeping pads...)
166 other items (mostly binoculars and drone detectors...)
Small backpacks, electronic earmuffs and optical binoculars ( which remain popular in every season), and the drone detectors that we recently started supplying were in high demand.
Thank you to the 245 Sunflower Seeds Ukraine donors who contributed to our efforts in August–we appreciate your help!
Sunflower Seeds Ukraine Campaigns
Over the past year, we launched multiple campaigns to raise funds for specific needs, including drone detectors, reconnaissance FPV drones, clean water equipment, protective ear gear, shipping costs of containers to Ukraine, humanitarian projects to help Ukrainian children impacted by the war, and others. These campaigns have been incredibly successful and have allowed us to distribute aid based on the needs and requests of Defenders.
Rather than supporting a targeted campaign this month, we ask our supporters to consider making a sustained monthly donation to enable us to continue the work we’re doing. A monthly donation, no matter the size, provides us with a predictable revenue stream to continue our basic operations and keep supplies flowing so we can continue to save the lives and strengthen the resolve of Ukrainian Defenders. For example, a $20-per-month donation—the price of a cafe lunch—supplies a Defender with protective earmuffs or a backpack.
