I remember a huge ask I made on a deployment in Kosovo for children's material to translate for use in a children's publication we wanted to make to help the children there avoid mines and to work on reconciliation between old neighbors (Albanian and Serb). The editor of Highlights Magazine gave us 5 years of back issues and a 5 year online subscription with full rights to use as needed and translate (no citation or acknowledgement needed). 35 year old Sergeant First Class sent an email and prayed. I left that mission after 6 issues of our publication and I beleive it continued for at least 2 years after I left.

Wanted to buy a shirt from a Ukrainian YouTuber (“Our Russophobia is Insufficient” 😀), but the website didn’t deliver outside Ukraine. I emailed him. In exchange for a PayPal donation, he sent me the pattern file, and I had a shirt made here.
