Country you are from: USA How long have you been a part of UAO: Since the very beginning. What do you do for UAO: As many of our members do, I hold several roles in our organization. I am amongst the founding members in the organization and assist various teams ensuring that the organization runs efficiently. My daily tasks include managing the US Amazon wishlist, prepping content for social media, as well as networking with donors and the public. What motivates you to help Ukraine: I have a deep connection with Ukraine. I am a first generation American of Jewish Ukrainian heritage. My wife is a born and raised Ukrainian with all of her family living in Ukraine. My father-in-law has been assisting since 2014, I knew in my heart that it is now my responsibility to help in whatever way I could.

Mart
Country you are from: Estonia How long you have been a part of UAO: Since Feb 2023 What do you do for UAO: Procurement, General What motivates you to help Ukraine: As an Estonian this is quite personal since when we see Ukraine suffer, we fully understand that if a couple things went different it could have been us. I have living relatives that have suffered under Soviet/Russian occupation. I have personally been to Ukraine to meet and talk to the troops and to see some of the destruction. This war must end with a Ukrainian victory, no doubt about it. We must give them what we can and the volunteer effort is an important part of it. I've also seen how it can change the outcomes which is humbling and super motivating. Sure, billion dollar packages matter a lot, but a single drone, medpack, helmet or an ambulance at the right place will save a life if UAO can help get it to the front. Never underestimate what a good pair of boots or a good night of sleep can mean to someone who is going through hell - at the front they can really use every bit of help we can send them.
