    Story

    To everyone who has donated so far we are blown away, Iā€™ve upped the target as I know weā€˜re just getting started!

    There is so much we can do with that money so thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ā¤ļø

    Hi all,

    As everyone is aware, millions of people have had their lives turned upside down over the last week following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    Having listened to the news on a daily basis, I was getting increasingly frustrated at feeling unable to help. However, I was recently inspired by those going above and beyond to actively support the people of Ukraine, and now I want to do my bit.

    I drive for a living, and after getting approval from my friends Sam and Hannah to borrow their van, I informed my boss Joe that I wanted to take the next week off to go to Ukraine with a van filled with aid items. After hearing this, he informed me that he would love to join and keep me company for the long drive!

    Our plan is to head for Lviv in Ukraine, which is currently overflowing with refugees waiting for transport into Poland. Many have had to leave at a momentā€™s notice, and leave all of their belongings behind. By the time we leave on Monday 7th March, the van will be filled with nappies, clothes, baby milk, first aid kits, etc., to deliver to Lviv. With your support, we can then continue back to Poland, refill the van with food and water, and return to Lviv as many times as time and money will allow.

    To maximise the success of our trip, we need to cover costs for fuel, ferries, breakdown cover, insurance, and all of the supplies. It wonā€™t be cheap, so it would mean the world to us if you could donate to our cause, no matter how big or small a donation. Any money left over will be given to local Ukrainian charities.

    We will keep you updated with photos and posts as we go. Thank you to everyone in advance for helping us to make a difference for those currently much less fortunate than us.

    All of our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine.

    Thank you, from Rob and Joe x

      And in the blink of an eye it was over all too quickly! I think this last week has been one of most rewarding in my life so far, and have got a renewed sense of purpose for my life going forward. Our time in Ukraine was shorter than we wanted, but the delays at the border meant this couldnā€™t be helped. Whilst dropping off everything else that had been donated and more bits weā€™d bought in Poland, at Lviv Palace of Arts. Thank you to every one of you who donated money or items, or who sent messages in the last week of support.

This last couple of days is going to be something I know weā€™ll never forget, and weā€™ve not even left yet! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ā¤ļø

      What a day! Van collected and the first load collected. At the time of writing weā€™re Ā£50 short of the 5k target, WOW! Iā€™m going to up it again, as it will all end up helping, and means we can do more runs for food once out there. Iā€™m going to Tesco first thing tomorrow morning to collect a load more and hopefully fill the van by tomorrow, ready for tomorrow. To think what we have achieved in less than 24 hours blows my mind. Please keep sharing and letā€™s see how much more we can raise together. ā¤ļø
