    Story

    Hello All,

    Please check Instagram: @Lvivandletlive for more photos / updates.

    Francis here.  Like you, I have watched the humanitarian crisis unfold over the past days with horror. I want to do something personally to try and help the situation for those affected in some small way. At this moment in time, I have access to a van and some time to make a trip. I have been in touch with a medical equipment supplier and would like to raise money directly to purchase much needed First Aid kits and drive them to the Ukrainian border with Poland. I want to fill the whole van, so will also look at other medicine, sleeping bags, baby food etc, if there is space left over. If you can donate any amount, it would be well appreciated (no matter how small). I will keep progress updated here with the supply procurement and the journey. I aim to leave on March 21st and anticipate a 3 day journey to the border. 

    Best, Francis/Frank/Frankie/Fran/Fraan/Fraanie ;-)

      We have put the final residual funds to work supporting Jeff Burko, a Canadian veteran paramedic of nearly 40 years. He has been involved in many trips into Ukraine since the beginning of the war to both deliver medical aid and provide training. His current mission is to obtain armoured ambulances for use on the front lines in Eastern Ukraine. 5 vehicles have now been procured and plans are being made for their delivery. We thought this was a good fit with our mission and a perfect way to round things off. Great work Jeff!

      Hello all. Here's the handover of the tourniquets, generators, medical equipment and humanitarian aid from 3rd and final trip to Medyka, I've been back a couple of weeks and needed a bit of time to recover and spend time with family over half term. Thanks for all of your support. I will put in an update shortly outlining the final steps we undertook with the funds you helped put together.

      An overdue update! Having spent a couple of weeks recovering and enjoying some much needed family time, I am setting off on a final trip to deliver the remaining medical and humanitarian donations we received, along with a further 4 petrol generators. Further updates to follow during the week, also on Instagram @Lvivandletlive FM

    What is crowdfunding?

    Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

    The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

    Great people make things happen

    Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

    Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
