Alan's fundraiser donating & driving an ambulance to Ukraine with Medical Life Lines Ukraine

Alan Himmer is raising money for Ukraine Charity
“Buy a used NHS ambulance, drive it to Ukraine, donate it to emergency services where most needed”

on 22 March 2026

Medical Life Lines Ukraine with support of Ukraine Charity raising funds to procure ambulances, medicines and medical equipment to be delivered to Ukraine.

Story

Sometimes in life, we cannot just be bystanders. I want to do my part to help alleviate the suffering of Ukrainian civilians and save innocent lives. Please join me and be a part of this. Together, we can make a difference.

The Russian Army has drone teams that specialise in hunting civilian ambulances. They have destroyed over 300 ambulances and heavily damaged another 300 in 4 years of war, killing hundreds of paramedics, nurses, and drivers.

In February 2025, I drove an ambulance in a convoy from London to Ukraine to donate it to the Ukrainian emergency services, replacing an ambulance destroyed by a Russian drone. I intend to do so again in March 2026 and I invite you to participate. If you give part of this ambulance, I will dedicate my time and risk to ensure that the ambulance gets delivered to where it is needed most.

- I will drive with other volunteers as part of a convoy of ambulances facilitated by Medical Life Lines Ukraine, a UK-based volunteer group, which has already delivered over 115 ambulances.


- I have been to Ukraine half dozen times in the past two years and am accustomed to the air raids; with ample warning and an excellent shelter system, the risk can be managed and minimised.

It costs £15,000 to buy a used NHS ambulance, refurbish it, and a bit more to outfit it with medical supplies. I will commit to match your contribution 100% pound for pound up to £3,000 and on top of that there's Gift Aid for UK taxpayers. (For US taxpayers, please go to the website of Ukraine Crisis Aid Group, a tax-exempt 501(c)3 charity: www.ukrainecrisisaid.org/ambulances )

Let’s do this together. Any amounts helps. Thank you.

Слава Україні!
