Indeed, some external validation would be great, from Patreon or any other organization.
The membership levels are also.. Disturbing? If I select "Projectile" membership (with a picture of a grenade missile or something) it says "You started saving lives!". All memberships are munition for weapons ("Bullet", "Projectile", "Bomb" and "Missile"), not exactly something you associate with "Saving lives".
Yeah, it feels strange to have these images.
There are already discussions to change them in Ukrainian community because it's not really connected to what organization do.
People from Ukraine IT community don't care because they got all the information about the organization without language barriers, but this images seems to be a problem from the outside perspective as this is the first thing that people would notice.
Anyway, thank you for your feedback (I'm not from the organization, I know a few people who help there)

In a simplistic view they don’t save lives, but without them what do you fight with? What keeps Russia from thinking they can just easily take over a country?

Seems to be run by Come Back Alive Foundation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Back_Alive) but I can't actually verify that they link to the Patreon from their website (https://savelife.in.ua) as it seems to be offline right now.
Not to say it's sketchy to use Patreon for something of that importance, since Patreon has a reputation of pulling funding for organizations by now.
