Supporting the Valiant at All Costs: Slots City Foundation's Unwavering Commitment to Ukraine's Armed Forces

Since the commencement of Russia's aggressive campaign against Ukraine, the Slots City Foundation, initially established with a different purpose, has catapulted into a beacon of hope for Ukraine's military and civilians alike. On February 24, the Foundation made a dramatic shift in its focus, dedicating itself to aiding those impacted by this relentless conflict.

In the tumultuous journey of over 15 months, the Foundation's tireless volunteers have poured over 50 million hryvnias into assistance for the army and Ukrainian citizens, the majority going towards army support:

Drones and drone repairs (87 units)
Vehicles and vehicle repairs (35 units)
Charging stations (80 units)
Starlink systems (37 units)
Night vision devices (10 units)
Thermal imagers (18 units)
Rangefinders (4 units)

In addition to these resources, the Foundation has also provided combat equipment, stoves, boilers, food, clothing, and equipment for soldiers, tires, spare parts, and even boats and trailers. Urgent aid was also extended to the affected residents of Uman following rocket strikes, while boats were procured for the Kherson direction after the Kakhovka HPP explosion.

"From the very first days of this full-scale invasion, our Foundation has been committed to supporting the army," says the Foundation's director, Artem Stogniy. "Since March 2022, we've been working diligently, providing essential items to soldiers daily, aiding internally displaced persons and the wounded. Our donors stretch beyond public fundraisers, comprising employees and friends of the company. We approach volunteering as seriously as our primary work, ensuring each penny of the 50 million hryvnias was used as effectively as possible to protect our soldiers and steer us closer to our common Victory."

May 2023 witnessed a record month for the Foundation's aid, with over 10 million hryvnias allocated for the Armed Forces' needs and humanitarian aid. The initial donation of a million hryvnias flourished via the "Come Back Alive" account in March 2022.

Volunteering like a Warrior: Navigating the Initial Challenges

The early stage of volunteering was a tough endeavor, due mainly to a surge of requests and the scarcity of certain crucial details that the military required. Dana Kutova, a volunteer at Slots City Foundation, recalls those chaotic days:

"We were grappling with a barrage of requests while struggling to obtain the necessary details the military needed. We sourced supplies overseas, reached out to friends and family for assistance. As time went on, we streamlined the Foundation's operations, making our aid more efficient. Each volunteer now oversees a specific area, building connections within their niche. We still face numerous requests, working around the clock and responding to emergency ones like 'Urgent: We need drones' at 3 AM. The constant stream of SMS messages stating 'We have wounded today' is still difficult to bear... Together, we will persevere!"

The Foundation's aid plays a crucial role in supporting Ukraine's vital fighting forces, including:
