Every morning, over 150 people make their way to a school in a small town in central Ukraine to create camouflage nets for the Ukrainian army. Although the country is at war, people in the town want to help in any way they can, the director of the school told the Daily Caller in an interview.

The volunteers range from 10-year-old students to 85-year-old former doctors, and their tasks are divided in an assembly-line fashion. The net is fastened to the wall, and the volunteers sit in chairs and benches arranging, cutting and weaving fishing nets into the camouflage material.

“There is a former doctor, a gynecologist, who is 85-years-old and comes every single morning to work. She just arranges the materials for the nets since it’s difficult for her to stand, but she still comes every morning to help in any way to ensure [Ukraine’s] victory,” the school director said.

The idea to make the nets formed organically, she said. When the war broke out and the stores started running out of supplies, people got together to donate needed materials for the community like diapers, blankets, pillows, food and clothes. Then, someone suggested making the nets. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Packed In ‘Like Cattle‘: 17-Year-Old Describes The Horrifying Journey Fleeing From The Russian War In Ukraine)

Over 80 nets have been created so far in the one school to cover tanks and other military equipment across Ukraine, the school director said.

Volunteers have come together to create nets in other cities as well, including in Lviv.

There are people in the town that need serious medical treatment and lots of newborn babies that sometimes can’t receive adequate care, she said, but the food situation is relatively stable.

“Our government is doing everything it can. They are partnering up with small businesses, and sometimes the shelves in the stores get restocked. Things that you can’t find in the stores are sometimes available at outdoor markets,” she said.

“Everyone in the town is committed to do anything at all to make the war go faster. So we will win faster. So kindness overcomes evil faster,” she concluded. “Ukrainian songs are often played and people sing about Ukraine. It lifts our spirits.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
