The fundraiser was powered by Saint Javelin’s global community and driven primarily by sales from its Defender 2025 Collection, including the brand’s everyday carry backpacks. In total:
- $12,145 USD was raised through product sales
- $12,855 USD was raised through Unite with Ukraine fundraising efforts
All funds were donated directly to Second Wind UA to support programs such as mountain hikes, rafting trips, adaptive climbing, and other outdoor experiences designed to restore confidence, independence, and connection.
“This contribution will become part of new rehabilitation programs where confidence returns and a sense of personal strength awakens,” said Oleksii Alekseienko, co-founder of Second Wind UA. “Thank you for supporting this movement and the people within it.”
Second Wind UA works with Ukrainian defenders who lost limbs as a direct result of the situation in Ukraine, helping them reconnect with their bodies and rebuild their futures through movement and shared experience.
Saint Javelin’s EDC backpacks were created with that same spirit in mind: durable, functional gear built to carry purpose, not just essentials. Designed for daily use, travel, and outdoor conditions, the backpacks represent Saint Javelin’s belief that what you carry can stand for something bigger.

To everyone who purchased, donated, shared, or supported this initiative — thank you. Your actions helped turn everyday gear into real impact.
