This is your opportunity to provide life saving support to Ukraine directly by helping Dominique, Nick and Jo, buy, convert and drive a medical evacuation vehicle to medics in Ukraine.
We (Dominique, Nick and Jo) need you to help us help Ukraine. We are sourcing, converting, equipping and delivering a Medical Evacuation Vehicle to save lives in Ukraine.
Please hit the donate button and contribute if you are able and, equally importantly, please share this page with anyone else you think can help.
Convoy 58
On the 25th of April we will join Driving Ukraine’s 58th convoy to travel 1,318 miles across Europe in 3 days. Our team will join 30 other emergency vehicles carrying as much medical equipment as possible.Â
Driving Ukraine has already raised £2.2M enabling 600 volunteers from more than 30 countries to deliver 320 vehicles.Â
Our (minimum) target is £7,000 in order to:
Purchase the user requested vehicle type.Â
Fund the conversion, servicing and preparation in the UK
Cover the costs of fuel, ferries and tolls so we can deliver the vehicle directly to the allotted medical team.
Stretch targets
Our aim is to raise as much beyond the minimum as possible, and additional funds will be used to:
Equip the vehicle with a drone protection system (critical, see below)
Purchase medical supplies from the medics’ urgent request list and, if funds keep coming,
Move straight onto preparing further vehicles for this or subsequent convoys.
21 Days
A medical 4x4 lasts an average of three weeks before it is targeted and destroyed. Russian forces prioritise targeting medical personnel, hospitals, and evacuation vehicles. The red cross is no longer a shield, it is a target. Â The toll is staggering; over 56,000 civilian casualties and 1,400+ medical facilities destroyed.
Every 9 minutes, a critical evacuation is attempted. We want to equip this vehicle with a Chuyka / Чуйка 3.0 drone protection system, giving its crew precious seconds to take cover and survive. (System details below)Â
