Help Callum and Jack to Drive and Deliver a Life-Saving Evacuation Vehicle to Ukraine
In November 2026 Callum McLachlan and Jack Bernstein will drive 1,318 miles across Europe in 3 days to deliver an evacuation vehicle to Ukraine, which has already been purchased, and now they are fundraising to sponsor an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) which will be used on the front lines to save more lives.
Right now in Ukraine, 80% of battlefield evacuations of wounded soldiers are carried out using Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV's)
These UGV's operate in areas deemed too dangerous for any human, and increasingly this means evacuating the wounded and saving lives.
Think of them as high capacity, offroad, remote-controlled stretchers.
The urgent need for international support in Ukraine is undeniable. The longer the invasion persists, the more challenging it becomes for Ukraine. The toll of the conflict is staggering. Since 24 February 2022, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed by aerial attacks. Over 1,000 medical facilities have been destroyed. Every nine minutes, there is an attempted evacuation of the wounded from the front lines.
Vehicles, aid, and international support are more necessary than ever before.
Driving Ukraine deploys 4x4 vehicles to:
- CASEvac (Casualty-evacuation) teams
- First aid responders
- Air defence teams
- Humanitarian bomb disposal
- Hospitals and emergency services
These teams work under constant threat. Without vehicles, they simply cannot operate.
Your donation will turn into real vehicles, in real places, saving real lives.
The Goal= $12500
This covers the cost of the following (already achieved)
* Purchasing the Vehicle (approx $9400)
* Vehicle delivery and admin costs ($2700)
* Protective drone scanning device for recipients ($400)
Stretch Goal: $20,000
We have been directly asked by the 1st Separate Medical Battalion - one of Ukraine's most advanced evacuation units - to fund and support this piece of life-saving tech.
