We are a small but tenacious group of Dragon school parents teamed with a local carpenter, with the attitude that there is always a way to get things to happen! We have taken this to an extreme, with help from the generous community in Oxford and the Dragon, and using family links in Lviv, we have managed to get over 50 loads of Humanitarian and Medical Aid to those who really need it in Ukraine.

Unlike larger organisations, we have been able to speak directly with Doctors, Mayors and Directors to find out what is really needed, specifically medical and surgical equipment. We have fundraised, procured and delivered medical equipment to Lviv and across Ukraine, receiving photos and videos of the equipment being used in surgery days after being sent! We have been so successful getting equipment to Surgeons who really need it, that bigger charities such as Médecins Sans Frontieres and the WHO have asked us to source, procure and deliver specialist equipment to Ukraine.

We have formed specific partnerships to supply hospitals in Dnipro and Kherson, close to the front line and which have urgent need for more medical equipment and drugs. There are many casualties in these areas due to the fact that the Russians took all the hospital supples when they de-occupied the Kherson region.

Since the beginning of the war, we have raised X toward the purchase of medical equipment and received X in donations of medical equipment.

In additional to medical supplies, we source 4x4s in the UK and drive our aid directly to Sumy and other hospitals, leaving the vehicles to become field ambulances. To date we have sent X number of vehicles… but the need is still great.

If you can help by donating a vehicle or money towards the purchase of a used 4x4, please donate directly here or get in touch!

Everyone who donates is making a genuine difference to those struggling in Ukraine.

Thank you so much for your support.
