TFY SUPPORTERS:
It is with a heavy heart I announce Task Force Yankee (TFY) is closing its doors. TFY will remain alive on paper, but in a non operational status.
Over the last 17 months, TFY has helped over 300 refugees and their families, moved countless tons of humanitarian aid, medically trained over 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers and first responders in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), and many other activities helping the people of war torn Ukraine. Of this, we should all be very proud!
Unfortunately, due to the misappropriation and withholding of funds by TFY’s Lviv Chief of Operations and the subsequent damage to TFY’s reputation, effecting future donations and volunteer recruitment, the TFY Board of Directors have decided to cease all fundraising and all operations in Ukraine.
We cannot thank all of you enough for your past support. We all have a lot to be proud of! Please do not let this be the end of your support for the Ukrainian people as they are in a greater need now that ever before. I ask that you find a worth while organization to continue your support for the Ukrainian people.
If TFY decides to reinitiate it’s humanitarian aid activities in the future, we will let you know here.
Again, thank you for all your hard work and support! You have truly made a difference in countless lives.
Sincerely,
J.M. “Gaotu”
President
Task Force Yankee: Ukraine
