Thanks to Reddit, Protect A Volunteer sent $5k plus another $1k from an outside source to our drone team! This will go towards replacing the equipment they lost in the van crash. We couldn’t do it without donor support so the guys made a short thank you video in appreciation!

   Thank you so much awesome donors and Reddit! Our fundraiser for our Droney McDroneface team generated $6k for the guys. If you recall from our posts last week, one of the team was in a bad van crash in which the driver died and the team lost a ton of drones and other gear needed to be effective. We can’t replace the lost teammate or all the gear but we can help with some of the burden.

   The team leader and a couple of the guys wanted to say thanks in this video.

   If you want to continue to support this team, visit our [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=CLFN53FZKSDY4) and select “Droney McDroneface” in the dropdown. You can support the other teams on the dropdown too or just donate to our general fund.

   You can also become a sponsor to a volunteer directly. We match you with someone volunteering in Ukraine to whom you would send funds for gear, medical supplies, vehicle maintenance, living expenses and more. To become an individual sponsor, sign up [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd22e1uJD_SRxg-x5FC3dxDWwhDGsoJjhHosYj-fpK0BIysTQ/viewform).

   And finally, Protect A Volunteer has a flight support program, where donors assist volunteers traveling to or from Ukraine with airfare via airline mile donations or paying for tickets in cash. Flight costs are a huge expense for many volunteers needing to return to the fight. You can help these heroes get back to where they are desperately needed.

   Thank you!
