Ukraine Relief - From Destruction to Hope: Please Help Us Get Back on the Road and support Ukraine

Organised by Ukraine Relief

We survived a devastating attack, but our vehicles did not. Our Ford Transit, VW Caravelle ambulance, and a Renault family car were destroyed. Without them, we can’t continue our vital work. We need to rebuild, but we can’t do it alone.

Closes 30/04/2025

Story

Surviving a missile attack on a hotel in Ukraine felt like an "apocalyptic movie"

The strike has killed at least four people and 31 have been injured, according to the city's regional governor.

Ukraine Relief team ( Karol Swiacki , Marc Edwards) and friends from USA ( Adam Carmel ) and Ukraine ( Igor Logvinov, Valentina L, Gena L, Maria, survived the attack.We were lucky to make it out alive. But our vehicles, our ability to keep moving, were taken from us.

Our Ford Transit, vital for transport, was reduced to twisted metal. The VW Caravelle ambulance, which had saved so many lives, was destroyed beyond repair. A friend’s Renault family car, their only means of travel, was lost in the explosion. In one brutal moment, three essential vehicles were gone.

But survival is not enough. These vehicles were more than just machines—they were our lifelines. They helped us transport people, deliver aid, and keep going no matter the obstacles. Now, with nothing left, we’re unable to continue our mission.

We need to rebuild, but we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re asking for your support. Every donation, big or small, will help us replace what was lost and get back on the road where we belong.

We survived. We are still standing. And with your help, we will keep moving forward.

Thank you everyone for support 🙏
