“I am a self sustained volunteer who has committed myself to the ongoing efforts on the ground without pay, and I’ve continued living off of work I completed before I left the states. Volunteering here for months on end in Ukraine means for most that at one point or another we will all contend with one financial hurdle after another.”
“Whatever the financial conflict volunteers may face, Protect a Volunteer is always here helping to protect and take care of us as we do our part to protect and take care of Ukraine.”

“I observed PAV grow to fulfill a very specific, unique, and desperately critical need in the efforts to assist and provide within Ukraine.”
“I stand by the opinion that PAV provides the most streamlined, involved, and authentic network to get funds in the hands of people taking on volunteer roles within Ukraine in support of it’s military and it’s people. I hope to preserve and nurture a long lasting relationship between our team, PAV, and it’s incredible pool of donors.”

“PAV is very transparent with any questions, concerns, and any processes that we need to be a part of. They have proven their honesty and loyalty to helping out the soldiers both foreign and domestic.”
“Even if a mistake is made, they do strive to correct themselves and do better instead of trying to hide or disconnect from the mistakes. They're also one of the few NGOs that actively won't help or hide who the bad actors are among the foreign soldier community.”

“It’s certainly a first-world problem to receive too many gift cards at Christmas. I ended up with $25 on a Visa gift card here, $50 to a clothing store I like but don’t really need anything from, and a few more for various coffee shop chains. These were mostly from colleagues, acquaintances, and others I don’t have a strong sentimental attachment to. As nice as these gifts are, I couldn’t help but think about how I don’t really need any of this stuff. Sure, it’s always nice to have little luxuries, but I was struck by how much of it felt unnecessary.”
“Most of the gift cards, I was able to exchange for their face value or trade them online for ones to stores I shop at regularly. I then put the equivalent amount of my own cash toward supporting the volunteer. It felt so much more rewarding to combine these small tokens of generosity from others to support a greater cause.”
