How IFAKs save lives
Individual first aid kits (IFAKs) contain tourniquets, emergency bandages and chest seals that could be the difference between life and death for a wounded Ukrainian soldier or civilian.
We are US veterans and Ukrainian patriots delivering more than 124,034 individual first aid kits (IFAKs) directly to the frontlines. Help us give Ukraine the means to survive. No aid depots, no middlemen, no BS. We need your help to keep going.

The life-saving components of an IFAK
Dnipro Tourniquet
A tourniquet is a medical device used to stop severe bleeding from an injured limb. It is a nylon and velcro strap that is wrapped tightly around the limb, above the site of the bleeding, to compress the underlying blood vessels and prevent the flow of blood. Purchased in Ukraine.
Emergency Bandage
An Emergency Bandage, also known as an Israeli Bandage, is used to treat traumatic wounds and control bleeding. It is a versatile, all-in-one compression dressing that can be quickly and easily applied to a wide range of injuries. Purchased in Ukraine.
Combat Gauze
Combat Gauze is a type of hemostatic dressing that is used to control severe bleeding from traumatic injuries. It is a specialized type of gauze that is impregnated with a substance called Kaolin, which is a natural mineral that helps to promote blood clotting. Purchased in Ukraine.

Our mission: Give every Ukrainian the means to survive.
The men and women fighting in Ukraine are not professional soldiers. They are civilians who have been thrust into this war of national survival.
As veterans, we’ve seen the horrors of war and know how to deliver aid directly to the front. No middlemen, no BS. Your humanitarian aid to Ukraine means their survival.
