Story
APRIL 22, 2022 UPDATE: WE PURCHASED A VW TRANSPORTER VAN IN APRIL, IT WAS SERVICED, UPGRADED AND DELIVERED TO THE FRONTLINE. WE'VE ALSO EQIPPED THE VAN WITH 3 STRETCHERS AND TACTICAL MEDICAL KIT.
OCTOBER 22, 2022 UPDATE: WE ARE URGENTLY LOOKING FOR DONATIONS TO BUY ANOTHER VAN (OR AN AMBULANCE IF WE CAN AFFORD IT) FOR THE MEDICAL/EVACUATIONS TEAM OF BRIGADE 53.
My story:
I’m Ukrainian and I’m trying to help my friends and family who are being attacked by Russia. All Ukrainians around the world are united in an effort to help those on the frontline defending our country and our democracy.
I’ve been raising money privately via friends and family and we sent the first shipment of medical supplies and protective gear on the 4th of March. Our next shipment included a van to help military personnel at the frontlines -- thank you for all your donatins and shares!
We receive a lot of requests from medical personnel and combatants working on the frontline (Donetsk Region), so we are continually raising funds to buy life-saving vehicles: vans, ambulances, powerful pickup trucks, and 4x4s.
Supporting this cause will allow medical professionals and evacuation teams on the front lines to deliver help and save lives while putting theirs in less danger.
If we have excess funds accumulated after this campaign finishes, they will be used to purchase equipment and medical supplies for the team, including protective gear, long-range radios, medical kits, Celox, and stretchers.
Your small contribution today can save a life tomorrow – that of wounded soldiers, civilians, and medics who are risking their lives to save others!

1 year agoThank you for your continued support! This is our active fundraiser, as of August 2023 we have purchased 7 vehicles: 3 vans, 2 pickup trucks, 2 SUV vehicles. I have added the pictures of the vehicles we donated to the frontline. Please help us purchase a 15 seater minibus for Brigade 31 (Ukraine counteroffensive). We are £1400 away from the target!

2 years agoThank you for your support! The van we purchased in April has been working non-stop, helping to evacuate the wounded and trapped people and delivering them to the medical facilities in central Ukraine. We are urgently asking for donations to buy another van for the medical/evacuation team (Donetsk region) - ideally an ambulance vehicle, however if we cannot raise enough money for a specialist vehicle, we’ll buy a van and convert it.
