I am collecting donations to aid civil defence volunteers in my home city of Zaporizhzhia in eastern Ukraine.

It is just 20 miles away from the front line and is the target of frequent Russian missile strikes.

Raised donations will be spent on will be spent on rescue equipment, medicines, food, power banks, generators, etc. - depending on how much we will actually raise.

The goods will then be sent to Zaporizhzhia via volunteers I personally know and to volunteers I personally know.

Many thanks for all your kind support.
