We’ve already raised over $8,000 for front-line medics: Our collaboration with NGO Repower (Patreon)

Dear Kyiv Independent community members, 

We recently debuted the Kyiv Independent store — and thanks to the help of supporters like you, we’ve already raised over $8,000 for the Ukrainian NGO Repower through our core collection.

Repower is an organization working to help front-line medics and volunteers who evacuate civilians under fire by organizing 10-12 day retreats so these medics can recover, both psychologically and physically. Pictured above, the Repower team poses in Kyiv Independent merch.

For the first three months after launching, we decided to donate all profits from our branded core collection to Repower. We’ve already raised over $8,000. Thank you to those who have already purchased merch — you’re not only representing the Kyiv Independent brand, but you’ve also made a contribution to helping front-line medics in Ukraine.

Before our fundraiser comes to a close this week, we’d like to raise an additional $2,000 — the cost for one medic to attend a retreat. 

If you’d like to help, you can find the Kyiv Independent’s core collection here and help get us one step closer to our goal by making a purchase before Nov. 22.

We’d also love to see photos of our members in Kyiv Independent merch — if you have a photo you’d like to share, you can send it to us at community@kyivindependent.com. 

Thank you for your continued support.
