I am happy to report that Lesia Semenova and I distributed a total of 54 pcs of Kestrel 5500 with LiNK weather meters. All the items were delivered to eastern and south Ukraine and distributed among the brigades that requested them. We received very positive feedback about these products. Everyone loves it and everyone wants more! We will see if we can get another discount from the manufacturer for the new batch and will let you know.

Special thanks to Dima Karabin and Roman Oz for helping with logistics!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the fundraising and helped with this cause! Please enjoy the photo report. Слава Україні! Разом до перемоги!

More Info

Hi friends, Lesia and I are fundraising to send fifty Kestrel 5500 Weather Meters to Ukraine. The weather meters are essential to determine the wind speed and direction during such events as a recent ammonia leak in Sumy or forest fires in Chornobyl. These devices also provide important data such as temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, etc., and are used in emergency response and ballistics.

Kestrel manufacturer was kind enough to offer us a generous 75% discount for 50 weather meters. Typically one Kestrel 5500 with LiNK costs $400 but we will get them for $100, which brings the total to $5500 including taxes and shipping. In two weeks, after the weather meters are manufactured, they will be delivered to Ukraine and distributed among organizations, civilians, and defenders who serve and protect their communities in eastern Ukraine.

Thank you for your generous donation. Слава Україні!

Update #3

Hi all, we have exciting news. The first shipment with four weather meters and one drone was delivered to eastern Ukraine. Enjoy the photo! Additionally, 50 weather meters were manufactured and are already on the way to Ukraine. We have received a lot of requests from volunteers helping specific units asking for these meters. We were able to cover at least partially all the requests and these meters are going to be distributed to multiple hot spots in Ukraine. Thank you, everyone! Слава Україні!
