Heat Pads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Winters in Ukraine are cold, especially for soldiers sitting in trenches and staying outside in positions.... Many units purchased heat pads in small quantities and it is a lot more economical to purchase a larger batch, stockpile it and deliver it in phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this campaign we bought 4,500 heat pads at one time: 1,500 foot warmers, 1,500 hand warmers and 1,500 body warmers, for a total price of \u20ac2,900. That translates to \u20ac0.65 per heat pad, a bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heat pads were purchased from TakeHot<\/a> in Ukraine. The heat pads have been delivered to the Odessa region, and stockpiled. The available heat pads have been delivered to many different units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The required budget of \u20ac2,900 was funded by donors, through the Donor box page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alex Bond, a volunteer in Ukraine, made contact with TakeHot and with his WarMonitorTeam made sure that all the heat pads got to the army brigades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n I sought help in the Netherlands within my network for logistics and arranged the transportation of the sleeping bags through that channel. Furthermore, I handled the fundraising campaign for financing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
