Friends! This summer Judas Priest, MadnessLive! and I have launched a very special fundraising campaign, aiming to raise funds for medical equipment for Ukrainian civilians affected by the terrible war started by russia in Ukraine. And the response to it from all the Metalheads around the world has been truly incredible. In fact, so incredible, that we were able to raise more that 1 000 000 UAH (roughly 24 302,27 USD), raffling Rob Halford's sunglasses and other amazing prizes presented to us by the Judas Priest team.
And what is even more incredible, that after hearing about our fundraiser more incredible Metal artists approached me to contribute, resulting in some new campaigns which will be announced soon. Meanwhile, as promised, below is a short update (could be rough around the edges) for some of the medical equipment purchased by the Steel Wings Foundation with the funds from this fundraiser. More detailed report will be available in Steel Wings Foundation's annual report.
| Item | Price (UAH) | Recipient |
| Hematological Analyzer | 180 000 (regular 280 000) | Chernihiv region blood center |
| Generators (4 pcs) | 57 710,12 | Chernihiv medical base |
| Dehumidifiers (3 pcs) | 34 350 | Chernihiv children center |
| Medical equipment (various) | 68 288 | Chernihiv region children hospital |
| Medical supplies (various) | 454 674 | Chernihiv region hospital |
Overall spent so far: 795 022,12 UAH.
Remaining funds (roughly, since it is indifferent currencies): 203 366,85.
The remaining sum has already been allocated and spent yet since there are no documents to prove it yet (and you know how transparent I'd like it to be) it is not reflected here yet.
Attention! Some gifts from Judas Priest have yet to be distributed, so please check your email.
Thanks to everyone who's supporting our efforts! More to come soon!
