Hi, my name is Steve Imhof, and I want to speak to you from the heart.
I’m a Vietnam-era veteran. Now, I’ll tell you right up front—the closest I got to Vietnam was a Navy base in Italy. But that doesn't mean I haven’t seen or felt the consequences of war. Many of my friends came back from Vietnam missing limbs, suffering loss of mobility, and grappling with deep mental scars that never fully healed.
And if Vietnam was brutal—and it was—then what’s happening in Ukraine right now is ten times worse. Reports suggest that unofficially, around 500 Ukraine soldiers and civilians are killed or wounded every single day. That kind of human toll is staggering. And the sad truth is, there simply aren't enough doctors, medics, or resources to treat them all.
Medics from across the world are doing everything they can. Some have already made it to Ukraine and are working around the clock. Others are ready to serve—but they don’t have the funds to get there or to stay once they arrive. That’s where you and I come in.
During previous wars, the number of casualties and injuries—though still tragic—were on a smaller scale and didn't demand a global effort to this degree. But today, we’re facing something different. And unlike decades past, we have a powerful tool at our fingertips: social media. It's being used efficiently to spread awareness, but the reality still isn’t reaching enough people.
I’ve followed the war in Ukraine closely since day one. I had the time, and I chose to spend it learning—watching the raw, uncensored videos on YouTube before they were taken down. I’ve seen the real images—young people maimed, civilians torn apart, families broken. YouTube may have sanitized those visuals now, but the suffering hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s escalating.
With the rise of drone warfare and other high-tech weaponry, the human cost continues to rise. Young Ukrainians are losing limbs—not because they had to, but because there simply weren’t enough doctors available to save them. Often, medics are forced to make impossible choices: your life, or your legs.
But what if we could change that? What if, with just a little help, we could get more doctors and medics on the ground? What if we could send critical supplies that save lives and limbs, instead of watching helplessly?
I'm standing up today because I finally have the time and the means to make a difference. Earlier in life, I had other priorities—work, family, responsibilities that I couldn’t walk away from. But now, I’m here, and I’m stepping up. I’m doing my small part to help the brave young people of Ukraine who are fighting with everything they’ve got.
And I’m asking you to join me.
Every donation, no matter how small, helps us get one step closer to sending medical professionals where they’re needed most. It helps buy the supplies that mean the difference between life and death, between amputation and recovery.
Please consider contributing to this effort. Together, we can save lives and limbs. Together, we can honor the spirit of those who serve and to those that gave all—not just by watching, but by acting.
We considered donating to Doctors Without Borders foundation. But after investigating we learned that the foundation operates with a corporate office in New York City. You can imagine the overhead expenses in running such a corporation. And of course the actually owners of the organization are no doubt highly paid. In addition, this organization solicits donations for locations all around the world. Donate a dollar to their organization and you will be lucky if 10 cents finds its way to Ukraine. Donate a dollar to me and I promise 80 cents will make it to Ukraine doctors working with the military.
Thank you for your time, your compassion, and your support.
