On our way to the North.
Saving Lives one Kit at Time.
As part of our mission to Israel. We wanted to provide the brave and women with not only our life saving kits but also a hot meal (BBQ) and a place to rest and enjoy themselves. They danced and sang. They were so happy to see us and provide them not only food but love.

So what’s in our medical Kit and how much does it cost?
The cost of this life-saving kit is $72.00
We need to put as many of these kits together so we are able to deliver them directly to our brave soldiers on the front lines.
A donation of $72 will help to save one soldier. Two kits are only $144.
Please give what you can so we can continue this life-saving and morale-boosting project.
Please note that items in the kit are subject to change based on what is available at the time of purchase.

The CAT GEN 7 Tourniquet is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army's Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage.
Safety goggles which can be used when in a tank, to keep out the dirt and sand.
Multiple gauze pads for injuries, and burns. Including large bandages for severe injuries.
As the soldiers walk a lot, Band-Aids and blister packs are vital.
Hydration drinks - Liquid IV. Vital when fighting in the field. They may not get any hydration for some while, providing them with energy.
Energy bars, again essential as they might not get a meal for 12-14hrs.
Alcohol wipes to keep small wounds clean. Infections can cause a soldier real problems when in the field.
Masks to limit exposure to another soldier who may be injured or sick.
Duct tape. This is important so the soldier can tape items to their weapons.
A Sharpie so they can mark the time on the tourniquet when it was put on an injured soldier or civilian. Without this, a limb can die and have to be removed.
Surgical gloves for keeping wounds clean in the field.
Candy for that extra boost.
Oh yes, one more thing you can’t see. A lot of love and caring that they need at this time, so they don’t feel alone while knowing they are being supported!
Winter is coming ! Check out our new Winter Kit
