USO Supporter: Russian forces have made advances in Ukrainian-controlled Bakhmut in the latest updates from the front lines of the war.

And one year since Russia’s invasion began, 100,000 American service members continue to be deployed and stationed across Europe to support our NATO allies and the people of Ukraine. Many are without access to cell phones — making USO programs like Operation Phone Home more important than ever.

Because of these challenges, the number of military families in need of support has increased dramatically, with no signs of stopping. To help ensure we can meet this increased need, we’ve set up a rapid response goal to raise $50,000 via email by midnight on Saturday to show that patriotic Americans are still standing steadfast behind them:

Will you rush an emergency donation of $29 or more to help ensure we can continue supporting service members in Eastern Europe and around the world?

We do not know what will happen next in this war, but in moments of emergency, we know that the support of Americans like you can make a world of difference for our service members so far from home. From providing basic necessities to helping troops let their families know they’re OK, your support can make a crucial difference. That’s why we’re counting on you to step up in this critical moment.

So please, will you support our troops today by making an emergency donation?

Thank you so much for supporting our military heroes in these times of uncertainty.
