I am an American who came to Ukraine in 2023 and stayed. I am not a soldier, not a journalist, and not passing through. I am the guy who prints the part nobody can buy, drives the load nobody else has a vehicle for, and makes sure food gets where it needs to go.

Day to day, that means:

3D printing. Replacement parts, brackets, mounts, and components that are unavailable, backordered, or simply do not exist commercially. I run a printer here and turn requests around in hours instead of weeks.

Transportation. People, food, medical supplies, and equipment moved across the city. Fuel is not cheap and the runs add up.

Hospital food support. Contributing to programs that keep patients and staff fed.

Backing up other volunteers. Solving the equipment and logistics problems that stall other people's work.

What your support actually buys:

US $5 covers fuel for a supply run across the city.

US $5 covers buying 14kg of potatoes or flour.

US $30 covers a kilogram of filament

Where the money goes:

100% of donations go to the work.

I cover my own living costs out of personal savings, so every dollar you send buys materials, fuel, or supplies.

I did not start this way. I originally asked for help sustaining myself here. I changed that, and now fund my own presence entirely, because I would rather your money go to the work than to me.

The fine print: Donations are not tax deductible. I pay US taxes on what I receive. Buy Me a Coffee takes 1%.
