Dear friends,

A small group of friends and family have been supporting my close friends that are fighting in Ukraine since the war began, but I need your help to be able to help them, and help them fast.

My friend Yuriy who I met in Kyiv a few years ago, is fighting bravely and leading over 100 soldiers in the 44th Rifle division in the fight against tyranny and oppression. I have supported them by sending a jeep, 30+ walkie talkies, food, medical supplies, winter boots, trench candles, silent generators and sanitary products directly to the frontline, without losing any money through the inefficiencies of bigger organisation (salaries and expenses) with the money going directly to the cause. Literally, we drive everything across the border and post it to where it is needed. It is so much better to know exactly where the support goes, and know that not a single penny is wasted!

They desperately need a Pick up truck to transport the elderly, injured soldiers and civilians, and to bring in supplies to areas without heating or electricity. The conditions include very rough muddy terrain, and so a 4x4 Pick up is the only viable solution. I also want to send them warm clothes for the winter as well as more supplies, which will be packed into the truck and delivered.

I have shared some photos below, including one of the Ukrainian defenders on the front line. Notice the Pot Noodles, Tunnocks Teas Cakes and Walkers crisps, all shipped from the UK. I've also included photos of the Mitsubishi Pajero and its journey to Ukraine, where it was then painted green.

If you can support this cause then you will have our eternal gratitude, and be a part of shaping our future world.
