Michael Montoya, who served with Sons of Liberty International as one of our deminers in #Ukraine from the start of our demining program in January to its conclusion on June 1, has been severely wounded by an anti-personnel mine.
After we ended our demining program, Michael (who goes by the nickname Monty) stayed in Ukraine to continue demining work. He was with his longtime friend and former @OfficialSOLI deminer @SM_EOD when wounded, and will soon be transported out of Ukraine for further medical treatment.
Sons of Liberty International has offered to provide whatever support or help is needed, and we're monitoring the situation closely.
We are hopeful that Monty will recover in the coming months and be able to return to doing what he loves - removing landmines before they can harm or kill innocent people.
We wish Monty the best and ask you to as well. You can send your words of encouragement to him at @MontyEOD2336.

As everyone is tracking @MontyEOD2336 stepped on a PMN-4 AP Mine while @SM_EOD and I were out demining in Kharkiv. Although his injuries are bad, as a team we will continue our mission so no innocent civilian will have to go through the pain he did. We are in direct communication with his wife @montoyamayhem and in this critical time I'm asking if you can donate please see the link below and spread the word. https://t.co/4XBk0YvOBH
