As usual, I'm behind on reporting what you've contributed to the war effort recently. I'm sorry.

Here's a bit of what you've sent in the past couple of weeks.

**Pictured**

* 1. Magnesium supplements and small, drone-droppable powerbanks for the 81st. Those powerbanks are made and distributed by the Wild Bees. Your donations bought the power cells and 3D printer filament. I'm not allowed to say how much they cost to produce because it's rude to discuss the discounts, but it's an outrageously small sum, like a fraction of what you paid for the one you use.
* Sawyer water filters for two platoons with 3rd Assault. You also sent some to some civilians in Nikopol, which is generally outside our wheelhouse, but the guys helping them are trying to help me transport stuff in August, so we wanted to help them a bit in return. More are going to the 108th, too.
* Tacmed and more powerbanks for Omega Special Purpose Center.

**Not pictured**

We hoped to raise enough with last week's raffle to buy a drone and some supplies for a couple of teams who got scammed by a grifter 'volunteer.' WOW did you come through. The raffle bought:

* Mavic Matrice 4E for the 125th, who are actively assaulting right now and need it bad
* Sleeping bags and headlamps for one team that got scammed
* A Fossibot powerstation for another team that got scammed
* And after all that, there was *still* $1150 available to set aside for a team that got hit hard and needs some gear (TBD) replaced

Give yourselves a hand, you guys. Seriously. Because thank you.

Now the focus turns back to the [HOLY CRAP PEOPLE NEED A LOT OF TACMED](https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/1u2b2sg/emergency_tacmed_fundraiser_we_have_over_60k_in/) fundraiser. Tacmed isn't sexy, but it is foundational: can't win a war if your people aren't alive to fight it.

If you'd like to help us out there, boy could we use it.

**Please note**: We know some of you love shopping for soldiers yourselves, and we would never discourage that. But please do know that when it comes to tacmed, **monetary donations go further**, as we get significant discounts of most of these items.

Thank you for being you, r/ukraine.
