    Story

    *My previous fund raiser amazingely bought a land cruiser which was used to evacuate 30, extremely vulnerable civilians from the very front line (up to 100m from Russians). However, due to an incident with a Russian tank, the car is now lost. Of course it’s very frustrating to have lost the vehicle, but the situation here is severe and these things happen 😔*

    My name's Chris Parry and I'm a foreign volunteer in Ukraine evacuating civilians from the front line to safety.

    To do this I desperately need an off-road vehicle to deal with the terrible road conditions, which will only get worse in winter.

    The roads out here are just awful, and for safety reasons (trying to stay out of sight of drones) we often need to drive fast over very extreme terrain. Therefore, it's very common for vehicles to be damaged needing expensive repairs (£1000) is a very common amount for a single set of repairs which may be necessary every few weeks or so.

    (Below: 3 year old with her mother (27) evacuated from the front)

    An example of an evacuation which we did was of the young boy (4) and his mother (25), in the photo above.

    - They were in Southern Bakhmut, where they had been waiting for an evacuation by any group for a month, but nobody would go to that area. Our group then received the request and made it our priority to try to evacuate them the next day.

    When we arrived there was a firefight between Russian and Ukrainian soldiers in the next street, while a large artillery battle was happening all around.

    An hour later they were safe, warm and fed at a hospital in a nearby city. Oh yeah, and he had a new toy car to take his mind off things which one of the group gifted to him.

    Another family, mother (32) and her 4 children who'd been surviving in a cellar in occupied Russian territory since March. Their father was taken by the Russians.

    If anyone's interested, you can follow the evacuations on my instagram - @Christoburg.

      Am currently working around Donbas evacuating civilians; old, young, wounded or otherwise in need, from the front line to a Hospital in a nearby safe city where they are well looked after by the lovely nurses. I really appreciate all donations!
