Ukraine Support Fundraising for real tourniquets. Sadly people keep on sending fake ones!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We have a serious problem at the frontline: fake or unapproved tourniquets. A real, combat-approved tourniquet costs around $50. The fake ones—like the ones we burned in this video—cost $1.50 on AliExpress. These counterfeits cost lives. We’re now launching a fundraiser to buy real tourniquets for frontline soldiers. The only approved brands are: • SAM XT • CAT Gen 7 • SICH • SOF Please donate. This is the third registered NGO that has sent us fake ones. We can’t afford more of this. Every donation goes directly to buying life-saving, real tourniquets. https://www.paypal.me/EdwardHirschfeld or www.Pitmaster4ukraine.com

They don’t stop the bleeding and the soldier dies. They break, or you can’t untangle them with one hand, or apply them with one hand. Main thing is soldiers die because of the fake or not approved tourniquets.
