Last Saturday, we celebrated Ukrainian Defender’s Day, and what a day it was. 🇺🇦💙💛

As always, we celebrated by the sea. 🌊

Four years ago, there were just 12 patients with us. This year, our little tradition brought together 160 guests. And somehow, it keeps getting bigger, and warmer.

Some of our patients had never even seen the sea before.

But this time, they didn’t just see it.

They got on a surfboard. 🏄‍♂️

Because moments like these matter. A lot. Recovery is not only about hospitals, treatments and rehabilitation. It’s also about laughter, new experiences, freedom, friendship, and simply having a good day.

And there was plenty of that, laser shooting, a Viking game, good food, lots of laughs and, most importantly, time together. 🎯⚔️☀️

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day special:

🏄‍♂️ Surfivor, for getting our guys on the waves, and actually for so much more. Without you, this day would not have been possible. You gave our heroes an experience they will carry with them forever. 🌊❤️

🎯 Edwin de Wolf, for the laser shooting

🍽️ Strandrestaurant P**l 6 for hosting us by the sea

🇺🇦 Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, for your support, for joining us and, most importantly, for taking the time to talk to our guys and help with their questions

🤝 Karel Burger Dirven, for your continuous support

📸 Lera Manzovitova, for capturing the warmest moments, as always

And for us, the best part?

Seeing our Ukrainian heroes smile. ❤️

That’s the kind of thing we want to see more of, happy, smiling Ukrainian heroes, enjoying life and making new memories.

A box of medical supplies sitting in the Netherlands could mean a life not saved in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

The supplies are donated. Getting them there is the hard part.

Together with the Andriesse family and an amazing group of volunteers, we recently drove 5 medevac vehicles and tons of medical supplies to Ukraine. All five are still in use today, helping frontline medics save lives.

Our next convoys leave in October and December. But fuel, transport, export and logistics all cost money, and that's where we need you.

What's on board: needles, syringes, wound dressings, braces, supports and equipment for hospitals and frontline medics.

The goal is: EUR 8500 (7 rides of the minivans)

Every euro gets another load closer to the people who need it most.

🎓 Training Doesn't Stop. Not Even in a Bomb Shelter

Our 6th multidisciplinary team from Vinnytsia, trained in the Netherlands, at the end of last week was now passing on their knowledge at Superhumans Center Odesa. A city under daily massive attacks.

So where did the training happen? In a bomb shelter. The same space where patients are rehabilitated becomes a classroom, because that's the reality in Ukraine today. No conference rooms, no ideal conditions, just determined trainers and participants who refuse to let anything stop them from teaching, learning, and moving forward!

Together with Stichting Healthcare4Ukraine and Superhumans Center, we're completing the final steps of the NL4Superhumans education programme. The training of Ukrainian multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams in the Netherlands is now complete, and the follow-up sessions in Ukraine are wrapping up too.

Our goal was to train 384 medical professionals by the end of the project.
So far, we've trained 422 🇳🇱🦾🇺🇦

Huge thanks to our Dutch partners — De Hoogstraat Revalidatie, Militair Revalidatie Centrum Aardenburg, Heliomare, UMC Utrecht, ARQ Nationaal Psychotrauma Centrum.

This project is funded by the Ukraine Partnership Facility (UPF), a programme from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) | Partner in Sustainable Development (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland - RVO), commissioned by the Netherlands’ Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. UPF supports damage repair and reconstruction projects for the public and private sectors. UPF aims to help the sustainable recovery of Ukraine's economy and society in the healthcare, water, and agricultural sectors.

Have you ever been to a hospital you didn't actually want to leave?

For a lot of our patients, that place turned out to be UMC Utrecht.

The staff there try so hard to make every visit calm and comfortable for our heroes. And the best part comes when they get to cross paths with another veteran there.

Sometimes they already know a friend has an appointment on the same day, so they wait around after their own visit just to catch up. Coffee, a couple of jokes, a conversation with someone who gets it without needing it explained. Because sometimes the strongest support comes from someone who's already been where you are.

Thank you to the doctors and nurses at UMC Utrecht for creating safe and cozy place for our heroes.❤️

“Freedom is not the same as independence.”

George Bush, Kyiv, August 1, 1991

23 days later, Ukraine declared its independence.

35 years later, the answer could not be clearer. It was one of the most important choices we ever made.

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine. 🇺🇦

What if we told you that Dutch children are also exposed to Russian propaganda through social media?

What if we told you that even the most advanced NATO military protocols are not always aligned with the realities of modern warfare?

And what if we told you that while Ukraine is fighting to defend its freedom and the freedom and values of Europe it is also gaining experience that could be vital for Europe’s future security?

Yet much of this experience is still not being shared widely enough.

This is why we founded Ukraine Unfiltered.

Together, WRKfor, Netherlands for Ukraine Foundation, and Robin Imthorn, we are joining forces to bring the realities of this war directly to Dutch society.

We will organize Q&A sessions at schools, where Ukrainian veterans can openly answer young people’s questions and speak about the war without filters or propaganda.

We will give lectures and create opportunities for Ukrainian veterans to share their first-hand experience with Dutch military units.

And this is only the beginning.

Ukraine Unfiltered is about sharing the truth of this war and making sure the lessons Ukraine is learning at an enormous price are not lost.

Follow the page, stay tuned, and wish us luck with this new initiative. 🇺🇦🇳🇱

Great news on our Seconds to Save fundraiser ⏰ Goal reached. Units delivered!

We launched Seconds to Save with a simple goal: raise €17,200 to get 20 electrosurgical units into Ukrainian hospitals.

You made it happen.

The money is raised. The equipment is bought. And all 20 units have now been delivered to hospitals in Ukraine.

What started as a number on a fundraiser page is now real equipment in real operating rooms.

Huge thanks to the Soloveyko Foundation, Galyna Bilych, Mykhailo Bilych and Andriy Vasin for raising €5,000 through Moonlight over Podil — an instrumental classical music concert that turned beautiful music into real support for Ukraine.

And to the Oekraïense Club in Zaandam for raising €4,580.71 during their unforgettable celebration of Ivana Kupala and Ukrainian traditions.

And to every single person who donated, shared and helped spread the word.

You helped turn seconds into a better chance to save a life. 🇺🇦❤️

🚚 TREASURE? Ours looks like what you see in the photos below.

A full truck of medical equipment: surgical and anesthesiology gear, procedure chairs, and so much more, headed straight into an operating room where it's needed now.

In Ukraine, hospitals are working in extreme conditions. We've talked about this many times before, and it's still true.

Huge thanks to Bergman Clinics for donating this incredibly important equipment. It's going to upgrade a hospital that treats an endless stream of wounded soldiers and civilians.

Finding a truck right now is its own battle. If you follow the news, you know why. Luckily we have amazing partners. Stichting De Leeuw Kyiv found one anyway and got everything to the Cherkasy Regional Veterans' Hospital.

A massive thank you to World Fashion Centre for giving us warehouse space. Without it, we simply couldn't organize shipments at this scale.

And a special thank you to Maria Negrutsa. You wouldn't guess it looking at her, but she's our main loader, our logistics brain, and honestly the best humanitarian aid manager in the world💪

And the other superheroes here are the people who came to load the truck. Veterans in rehab. A retired Dutch couple... People who showed up and did the work, smiling the whole time.

Thank you all. This is what it looks like when people just... help.

We have good news and good news!
But first, let us report like a grown-up foundation 😎

Look at the first picture: when we delivered the aid package within «Three Hospitals on the Edge 2.0» to the hospital in Dnipro, a drone shrapnel hit the hospital that very same day.
Just imagine. The same day!

This is something we hear again and again from all across Ukraine - hospitals are one of Russia’s favorite targets for missile strikes. That’s why your support matters so much.

Thanks to everyone who donated to «Three Hospitals on the Edge 2.0», here’s what we delivered, and this is the first good news:

Kramatorsk: Wound care (VAC) consumables, EUR 14,494.00
Kherson: Plasma thawer, EUR 9,553.39
Dnipro: Laparoscopic instruments, EUR 4,649.00

Total amount spent: EUR 28,696.39 - and that is the second good news 😉
We secured better prices and raised a bit more than planned (EUR 36,725).

This means that we have EUR 8,028 to contribute to our current fundraising:
https://donorbox.org/org_admin/campaigns/943547/donation_form/edit?data=essential
But the target is still ahead and your donations are needed.

And yes, as always: no overhead for our fundraisings - your donations go straight to the goal in Ukraine.

Thank you for standing with us!
