Where it all began and why it matters to us.

It all started a long time ago, during the peaceful times of an independent Ukraine… Let’s skip a bit, as it’s a complex and sad tale about how we unfortunately failed to build a state where everyone wanted to live in peace and love their homeland. It’s also about how we couldn’t build a society where bribery wasn’t the norm, where embezzlement of funds and destabilization of public opinion—often influenced by not-so-friendly neighbors—were standard. But it’s a lengthy and sorrowful story that may, at least, teach us a lesson, and perhaps we as people, as a society, as a state, will learn from it.

So, how it all began… We sit in our homes, sometimes going to work. We look around, people go to their jobs, cafes, travel, and have fun. And everything would be fine… fewer rockets these days… But unfortunately, that’s not the case, we still have a war, people continue to die on the front so that we have the freedom to walk here. We sit quietly and mourn for all those who die there, for those who defend us day and night without stopping, for those who left their peaceful lives behind to protect us…

But mourning and crying won’t help them or us much.

So, we decided to start doing more, to help our defenders and save as many lives as possible so that everyone has a future.

We thought, walked, did nothing, felt like there was no future, an emptiness inside, full of worries, fear from anxieties, and constant reading of the news, which wasn’t entirely clear what it was supposed to give.

But still, that’s just an exacerbation, and we all have much more strength and capabilities than we think. And we can do more! So we decided to start doing something more useful than just donating. We began assembling drones.

It wasn’t easy at all, understanding the process, building the process, then not understanding it again… and so in a loop, several times.

But what we have now is a goal. We want to start by assembling three drones. We believe that we will gather enough funds for them and cope with the assembly process. We believe that these won’t be the first and last three drones, and we will be able to continue uniting people, raising funds for drones, and perhaps not only that.

Oh, a lot of plans, but this is much better than what it was at the beginning. Our faith in the future doesn’t fade, and we have no doubt in our victory! We can build a better state if we all strive to do better for everyone!
