Story
I am on a mission to deliver vital aid directly to the front line communities in Ukraine, filled with donations from generous people in Scotland. The situation in Ukraine is challenging, and while efforts are being made to combat corruption, valuable items often go missing from warehouses. To ensure that aid reaches those who truly need it, I personally pack a vehicle and drive it straight to the areas where help is most urgently required.
Within just three days of leaving Scotland, I can deliver essential supplies to those in need. Over my journeys, I have transported everything from Walkers for the elderly and toys for children to medical supplies, defibrillators, dog food for street dogs, and even a prosthetic leg! My goal is simple: to bring anything useful that I can fit into my vehicle.
I humbly ask for your support in continuing this important work. The people of Ukraine are incredibly proud and resilient; every little contribution makes a significant difference. Funds raised will go towards purchasing and repairing suitable 4x4 vehicles that are left behind in Ukraine as part of their ongoing fight for freedom. We must budget for fuel, ferry costs (which have become quite expensive as discounts for Ukrainian aid have ceased), repairs, and return travel by train or plane.
While we strive to secure donated vehicles whenever possible, the typical purchase price is around £2,500. Each trip to Ukraine usually costs between £1,000 and £1,500. So far, I have completed 13 trips and delivered 18 vehicles packed full of aid. My packing skills have improved remarkably; people are often amazed at how much I can fit into the vehicle!
During my travels across Ukraine—visiting places like Lviv, Uman, Mykoliev, Kherson, Dnipro, Pokrovst, Dobropyllia, Izyum, Kharkiv, Sumy and Kyiv—I also take time to drop off packages of aid to relatives of Ukrainians who fled to the UK or deliver medication to families in various regions.
If you know anyone who might be in need or if you would like assistance with sending packages back home—please reach out! Your support means everything; even a small monthly donation can help sustain this vital work. Together we can make a difference.
Our target amount is £10,000 GBP.
